He is the Man We Need to Leave...

snarko! official commentary on Vice Presidental debate

I really, really, really tried... I'm talking an hour? I think? Okay, officially 58 minutes for those types out there--to officially call into C-Span on any number necessary*.

Wait, I'm a junkie, so I'm STILL hitting redial while doing this post*.

THE 100% SILLIES, FIRST

The completely idiotic points someone's gonna talk about tomorrow, which are completely useless and have nothing to do with fucking anything, except a couple of them point to complete liars:

1. Sarah Palin--and mind you in snarko! senseless polls only 1/4 people on the street can name her--actually said "soccer mom" twice.

2. She said DIRECTLY "Tax breaks for the private sector" three times. Indirectly: another 12. Now, think about that. Change? My ass. YOUR ass. Come on.

3. Biden said DIRECTLY "John McCain's a good man" three times. Indirectly another six. Come on, SMACK THE BITCH!!!

4. Biden's best line goes to "I call that the ultimate bridge to nowhere." On Palin's healthcare statement. POW!!!

[this was FAR more entertaining than the Presidential debate; I was SO disappointed there wasn't this much bitch-slapping...]

5. Palin's best line--and I GUARANTEE this headline tomorrow so I want first post--was, "He is the man we need to leave... lead." HOLY SLIP. Joe (my husband not Biden) stopped dead what he was doing and will back this slip; holy slip!!!

6. Her lapel pin--I was watching C-Span and they had their art graphics over them except for two minutes towards the end, so I didn't notice until then--anyway it was twice the size of Biden's, and had some sorta chain bling draping off of it.

No doubt the work of the same stylists that gave her those glasses or that updo hairstyle... neither of which she's previously worn as Governor of whateverthehellelse bogus "experience" she claims...

...fuck that. I'M more qualified. I could cram for this "test" too...

Soccer mom my ass. WHAT soccer mom wears an updo that isn't part of a Tim Burton film?!?! Oh... Burton does FICTION, in case there's any confusion there. See video categories: FICTION, HUMOR, and FANTASY.

Those are the "silly" notes, and what I'm sure Fox reports on first thing tomorrow. Except for the fact Palin loves the "private sector" so fucking much.

THE ALMOST SILLIES

1. Palin repeatedly used a 50+ year-old crap tactic, which breaks down to, "Democrats wanna raise your taxes and spend more money..."

Um, I hate his guts for a lot of things (none of them a cigar), but last time I checked, the last Democratic President we had (Clinton) BALANCED the budget; the dude coming after him--a well-known Republican--turned that into TRILLIONS of debt, mostly to China.

That tactic--I think?--only works on people in retirement homes. You know--those people whose votes your party are always trying to block?!?!?!

Oh, and honey: if you think that "less government" crap worked on a single fucking Ron Paul supporter, you haven't talked to one.

HUGE NOTE HERE: Only Biden quoted the Constitution.

2. Palin gets props on speaking about energy issues better. She gets SMACK DOWN for continuously changing the question--no matter what it was--to the ONLY thing she's capable of talking about.

3. I puked when she said "women's issues". I can't believe Joe didn't take that one. Okay, I faked the puke, but it was really, really heartfelt.

ON THAT NOTE: All of you whom answered snarko! senseless poll "What is the scariest thing you've seen all year?", and asked me to qualify that, but I refused to (often, "Do you mean a movie?" "Maybe; just scariest anything..."):

The official Halloween frontage is Sarah as a Barbie killing a moose whilst buying her own rape kit. Y'all picked it, without knowing it, 4-1.

FOUR TO ONE. I'm sorry but the person I recently met with a MUCH scarier image... I'm so sorry... this question wasn't set up that way, so you're "outvoted".

I've got a lot of children to scare.

NOT SILLY AT ALL

1. Now, y'all know I supported Kucinich. AND I highly agree that with any foreign policy issue, the first step is: pick up the fucking phone and talk to them.

You just don't start a war--not even with your boyfriend--without fair warning. They get one, last chance. THEN break loose wrath.

How the HELL else are you "justified" in that action otherwise?!

VERY disappointed BOTH sides kept harping on "killing Osama"... VERY PISSED OFF.

Like, the only time this guy has stepped foot here is to kiss Bush's ring (cuz we pay him). For fuck's sake; this is a heartstring blah blah ploy to get people as dumb as my brother to vote to fuck his own asshole.

The FBI else CIA can handle this, if that's what you really think; no 1,000,000 dollars nor ground troops are required.

I DO NOT SUPPORT throwing poor/"middle class" (gone) people's bodies at NOTHING. THIS IS NOTHING. You want ONE PERSON you don't send in THOUSANDS to do it unless YOU'RE AN IDIOT else an ASSHOLE with another agenda.

But Paulies BACK DOWN: This isn't Kerry. I've worked this TOO LONG. Obama isn't one of them. I cried throwing my switch for Kerry; I will not cry when I vote for Obama. I WILL NOT. He has my 75% support, and for the rest of you, McCain has ZERO. (Kucinich has 98%, and Kerry had 48%. Bush also has/had ZERO).

2. "Clean coal" and (something) "nuclear"?! Can I please puke, cuz I haven't yet? I could have SMACKED Biden for this... THERE IS NO CLEAN COAL? WTF?! Ask Three Mile Island about the nuclear option: I was really TEED OFF both sides went there,

and I wound up whining why not Kucinich?!?!?!?!,

BUT Obama is no Kerry...

THOUGH I hate a lot of what he and Joe have said--I mean a LOT of it--

as Biden just stated, "This election is too important..."

AND IT IS. And it's NOT LIKE LAST TIME.

Obama and Biden CARE. Like, even though I don't agree with them on a whole lot of crap, I CAN TALK TO THEM.

That's not true of the other two. I dunno who they are. Their stylists keep changing them every day, so I'm confused.

But if you think that's CHANGE we're talking a blue-red shade of lipstick to an orange-red one, and you're outta your mind.

It's still a pig. There, I said it. So send me hatemail; I encourage it. You're NUTS.

*Uh-ho. Almost forgot footnote.

Okay, so I tried to call into C-Span, officially?

For the record, I NEVER got through, but:

1. CALLING FOR MCCAIN: Most number of busy signals.

2. CALLING FOR OBAMA: Split 50/50 of busy versus "Number is jammed..." I really can't remember the exact language, but it basically means "too many incoming calls" versus "line busy"...

3. CALLING THIRD PARTY (I did all three)... Early on "too many calls" later just busy. Also 50/50, but more time dependent.

I gave up after an hour of redials, I admit.
