The VP Debate...It Could GET UGLY

Greetings Readers:

First, for those interested, I'll be LIVE BLOGGING tomorrow nights debate via my twiter which is @beltwayscandal with the results instantly posting here in Washington Scandals, as well as my other blog, Washington Dick Cheese News and Reviews. (Yes, I really have that blog...LOL)

From an intellectual basis, it would be easy to give the victory nod to Joe Biden before he even shows up, but lets not be too hasty. I like Joe Biden, and his life story is an intriguing one...problem is, he does have a bad habit of talking to long, which usually ends with him eating toe jam. The right question, and if Joe is on top of his game, it is going to be a VERY LONG NIGHT for Sarah Palin and the Republicans.

Biggest advantages for Sarah Palin are two. First, her press interviews have been so pathetic that the expectations for her are almost nonexistent. Seriously, the woman could not name ONE MAGAZINE or NEWSPAPER SHE READS! "I read all of them!" Sorry Sarah, but this dumb old country boy living in the big city could easily tick off 20 or 20 newspapers and magazines I get World News from, that I read to help formulate my opinions and political views. I am not a major, will never be a Governor, and don't even think about being a Vice Presidential candidate, but I can answer that question. We've had eight years of a man that admits he does not read much, and we all know how that turned out.

The second, and perhaps biggest advantage Sarah has...she's female, and the rabid right wing of the Republican Party is laying in wait, hoping against hope to tag Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket as SEXIST, CONDESCENDING.

The night is going to turn on the questions, and how Joe Biden handles himself.

A few Sunday Morning Political Thoughts

Republicans are beating their chests, claiming a big win this week that is opening up our continental shelf to off shore drilling. I'll bet you any money right now, that the first time drilling off our shores causes a major environmental problem, ruins some of our beaches that the Republicans will be the first ones to the airwaves to remind you that the Democrats were in the majority when the ban on off shore drilling was lifted.

Our own small poll on the debate has run along the same lines as most of the others in the nation, with Obama winning by almost a 2/1 margin. Time to take it down. In the meantime, looking forward to Thursday debate, and if Palin truly stumbles, shows America the Sarah Palin of SNL parodies of herself, this election IS OVER. Speaking of which, this weeks Sarah Palin was dead on, and too funny not to share, so going to join the stampede and put the video up for everyone to watch.

Where is the tentative Bailout bill so we can READ IT?

McCain says "Horse Shit" Twice in National Debate

If you carefully listen to the video clip from last night's debate you will hear towards the end of it John McCain saying "Horse Shit" not once, but twice as Obama NAILED HIM TO THE CROSS. If anyone has the clip of McCain all but dropping his precious pen in anger during the debate as he fumbled with his paper, we would love to put a link to it here on our Dick Cheese blog.

Another oddity of the debate last night...Joe Biden was available, and eager to cooperate with the press, while Sarah Palin was AWOL, somewhat like George Bush when he was in the National Guard. Perhaps she was out looking to mount a Moose? The pundits are trying to make a big deal about her support amongst men, so let me explain it to them, since they claim to have no clue. Men may not feel she is capable of being president, probably will not vote for McCain because of her, but they sure love her rack, and wish she was a waitress at their local Hooters.
