Palin did well? Really? REALLY?

So I'm not exactly sure how she gets away with this on a national stage, how is it possible in this day and age to completely flop in a debate and be credited with doing well. Flop. Yeah, I said it. Here's the driving force behind that notion: interchange the answers from Biden and Palin. It becomes pretty clear that Biden completely fails.

However, Palin just had to speak in complete sentences to get credited for doing well. Is this how far this country has fallen? It's gotten to the point where we don't bat an eye when there is a woman who is so clearly absent-minded that we grade her on a different curve than everyone else. She totally refused to answer her questions, and if a news organization comes out and says it... Well, they get discredited because they have the so-called liberal bias.

This is sexism at it's finest, and I'm not afraid to say it. She's a pretty white girl, and regardless of the fact that she's totally devoid of anything resembling a rational thought, she can wink at the camera and everything's cool. If a man was doing the same thing, McCain would have already dumped him for somebody else.

That brings me to another thing that annoys the crap out of me. Palin says that regular people like her becasue they seem to believe that she's just a regular person. It's pretty clear she's not a regular person, she has a tanning bed in her mansion after all. That said, so-called regular people shouldn't be elected to president. Big Sal at Max's Bar should never be  anywhere close to the presidency, and he's a regular guy (although perhaps more qualified than Palin, he's a factory manager... He's experienced at running things!). If someone is holding the most powerful position in the free world, wouldn't like to have someone who's got an Ivy League education?

Joe Six-Pack, because all "regular people" are apparently alcoholics, should NEVER be in the White House.
