Politics: Bidan & Palin Debate

I was really disappointed that Palin did not deliver a comedic performance as she has been. So, to make up for the lack of amusement from Thursday's debate, here's another great clip where Palin tries very unsuccessfully to BS an answer about which cases other than Roe v. Wade she disagrees with:



The most meaningful part of the debate for me (especially since Palin really has no clue about the state of the union or world) was when Biden shared part of his personal story:



I personally respect the places that Biden and Obama have come from and what they have been through to make them who they are. I also respect that McCain survived being a POW and has continue to serve his country through service in the Senate. What I do not respect about McCain is his character. McCain's first wife, Carol, a former model, married John in 1965 after her first marriage ended due to her first husband's affair. John adopted Carol's sons and they had a daughter together. John was captured in 1967. Carol was involved in a horrible accident in 1969 that resulted in her being "operated on a dozen times and in the treatment she lost about 5 inches in height." (LA Times 7/11/08) John was released in 1973 and started his political career. In 1979 John saw Cindy and started courting her but didn't file for divorce from Carol until 1/7/80. I know divorce is common as are affairs but I think it shows the character of someone who deserts their family of almost 15 years to run after some new woman. McCain is also notorious for his irrational behavior (like the selection of Palin, another former model, as his VP) and hot temper. Thinking about McCain and Palin in charge of our country actually scares me.
