TEEVEE FOREVER

  • LIVE HARDBALL ON MSNBC: CNN just went to a repeat of the Palin-Biden debate, which is good to see if you were, say, maniacally liveblogging during the actual event. But Crazy Chris Matthews is live at the university in St. Louis.

    It’s been decided. Palin in a landslide, which goes to show that all of us were watching the wrong debate, I guess.

  2. Biden answered the questions…kinda, but Palin read her talking points. Advantage: Biden

  3. graceless says at 12:08 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Expectations for Palin were pretty low. Still are, her bravery in the face of that horrible winking tic, for instance…

  4. Hunter Gathers says at 12:09 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Did she truly answer any questions? I imagine anyone who took a drink every time she said maverick is now has a liver the size of Texas.

  5. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:09 am, October 3rd, 2008

    …Chris Matthews is on fire tonight.

  6. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:10 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Yep, I’m hanging out with MSNBC now also, since FOX is going to Greta. Either Palin has killed a bond girl, or they want to put on someone that makes Palin look smart.

  7. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:11 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Strange, it is just like the last debate. The pundits seem to be leaning toward the Republicans, but the watchers are going hard Democrat:

    CBS Flash poll of undecideds:

    Biden: 46%

    Palin: 21%

    Tie: 33%

    CNN Poll of debate watchers:

    Biden 51%

    Palin: 36%

    Reform. Energy Independence. Maverick. Betcha.

    All you need to know.

  9. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:14 am, October 3rd, 2008

    …well its late guys, I’m gonna look at some porn then hit the sack!

  10. Monsieur Grumpe says at 12:18 am, October 3rd, 2008

    You know, after this election is over Palin is going to be the new, hot FOX talking head. We can look forward to the Rove and Palin show that presents both sides in a fair and balanced manner.

  11. P Drizzle says at 12:18 am, October 3rd, 2008

    OMG this deeebate sucked so much ass. I was drooling on my collar by minute 69.

  12. JeffGoldblum says at 12:19 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Wow… I didn’t get a chance to check out the liveblog during the debate, but, fuck. That was hideously painful. I think i actually hate this country more now than I used to before, which is impressive i guess. I’m going to come right out and say what was on everyone’s mind though… Palin’s retarded baby is fat. there, done.

  13. ShaqsDong says at 12:20 am, October 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Be gentle with the sack.

  14. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:22 am, October 3rd, 2008

    There is a basic rule that I have followed for the decade in politics: Whatever Dick Morris thinks, the exact opposite is true. This rule has never been wrong. I just caught the end of Morris talking about how great Palin was on Fox an hour ago, so apparently Biden won this going away.

  15. Buchanan keeps saying “she connected to the American people”, what the heck does that mean? American people are not as dumb as this racist ass seems to think.

    Can someone explain to me about her energy stand.

  16. Destonio says at 12:24 am, October 3rd, 2008

    All Palin had to do was not shit on herself.

  17. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:26 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Headline for the debate: White Women Runs Away from Black Women Asking Questions

  18. Barack Like Me says at 12:28 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Monsieur Grumpe: What scares me is that her candidacy has now put it in the head of every Weather Girl in the country that they too can grow up to be Preznit.

    I dreads Sarah vers. 2.01b coming on the scene cuz it ain’t gonna be Lara Logan or this sweetie:
    http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=j1G-3laJJP0

    Now that’s French I can hope to believe in.

  19. Bramlet Abercrombie says at 12:28 am, October 3rd, 2008

    faketree78: And darn it, darn it.

  20. Sussemilch says at 12:28 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Destonio: Good thing she wore her patriot pampers.

  21. who cares? the VP debate was only interesting ’cause we were looking for the car wrecks… snoresville

  22. JeffGoldblum: Speaking of the baby, why did they drag that poor baby to the debate? And did you see her hand the baby to her youngest daughter. Why do they pass that baby around – I really feel sorry for that poor child.

  23. Barack Like Me says at 12:30 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Dreamer: Fuck Buchanan.

    I love that Rachel Maddow totally pwns and mocks his ass to his face by naming his segment appearances “It’s Pat!”

    Such a tool, he has no clue what a fool Rachel is making of him.

  24. Bramlet Abercrombie says at 12:31 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Ya know, gals and guys, Barbie and Tawd are the Richie Riches in their town, and I betcha they have exactly nothing to do with all these Main Street Hockey Mahm folk she keeps talkin about carin so much for, darn it.

  25. P Drizzle says at 12:34 am, October 3rd, 2008

    grendel: Totes. I wanted blood and I got sugar. This was some seriously boring shit.

  26. Beef Supreme says at 12:37 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Well, since Palin didn’t hit anyone with a hockey stick, that’s advantage Palin. Biden had lots of facts and numbers and other things that are biased towards media elites, so that’s no good.

    Palin is the winner! You Betcha!

  27. Pelagius says at 12:38 am, October 3rd, 2008

    I missed the liveblogging because some of us hafta work for a living and don’t have parents to give us backpacks and passports and all dat.

    Anyway, wondering if anyone else is sick of hearing about fucking Alaska. Palin’s like that band camp girl from those pie-fucking movies. Climate change? ALASKA has melting snow. National Security? ALASKA, you know, giving Putin head from my house, ya know. ALASKA ALASKA ALASKA.

  28. We’ll see, but I think the narrative has already moved on past the point at which Palin simply had to not slip on her own drool. Biden, who hit well tonight with the issues voters and the empathy voters, has done a lot to run out the clock on McCain.

    McCain, who’s pretty much running on piss and bile these days, will continue to fight nasty from his Bush Red State base, but I think that even he knows that tonight, it’s over.

  29. President Beeblebrox says at 12:45 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Bramlet Abercrombie: Fuck the hockey mom talk. I grew up in a snow-intensive northern state where hockey was more popular than that ghey soccer shit. But none of my hockey moms were annoying harpies like Caribou Barbie. And I certainly didn’t have teammates named Track and Trig.

  30. junkscience says at 12:46 am, October 3rd, 2008

    There’s this annoying orange sign behind the MSNBC pundits and I can’t read what it says. I’m hoping its really really offensive. Confirm/Deny?

  31. Beef Supreme says at 12:46 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Pelagius: Alaska isn’t even a like a real state. It’s like if Canada and the North Pole got drunk during the Idiotarod or whatever and had a baby, and then they had a baby, and the baby was named “Trig” and then, oh shit, I’m gonna get banned for this comment…

  32. Senator Jeffrey Knight says at 12:47 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Shocking, Sarah Palin didn’t vomit on her podium or turn away from the crowd and cameras and audibly sob in despair.

    Guess that means she won.

  33. smashtheduck says at 12:48 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Confirm…can’t read it either. But then, might have had a drink or two. There’s a really annoying hot pink one too.

  34. Die Gelbe Gefahr says at 12:48 am, October 3rd, 2008

    It’s going so well… it’s all going so well… I’m so scared now. WHAT IF THAT ‘WHITEY’ TAPE IS REAL?!?! Zomg, what’s the October surprise for our Barry?

    HOLD ME, Joe Biden!

  35. Bramlet Abercrombie says at 12:50 am, October 3rd, 2008

    President Beeblebrox: Understood. And many hockey moms are probably cringing as much/more than anyone right now, betcha.

  36. HuskyMescan says at 12:50 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Snarkless, i gotta say, Biden did good.

    It was his chance for some major MSM coverage tonight since they don’t give him any outside the debates. He answered the questions and was selling the ticket. Palin…well, she didn’t projective vomit or freeze for 2 minutes. Essentially, she recited the entire RNC speech.

    I hope Palin doesn’t get re-elected for Gov. And I hear Troopergate ain’t going the way they want it too.
    Good. fuck em.

  37. Die Gelbe Gefahr says at 12:51 am, October 3rd, 2008

    I mean, seriously, does anyone else have a bad feeling? I feel like I’m Wile E. Coyote and a giant safe is about to fall on my head or something. Am I just… afraid to hope?

  38. Barack Like Me says at 12:53 am, October 3rd, 2008

    What got missed in the all the debates excitements was the Extra Special Season Finale of the Katie & Sister Sarah Show.

    Tonight’s priceless comedy gold gem came when she was asked what the worst thing that Cheney did was:

    Sarah Palin: Worst thing, I guess that would have been the duck-hunting accident, where you know, that was an accident. And that I think that was made into a caricature of him. And that was kind of unfortunate…
    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/02/eveningnews/main4496793.shtml

    Not quite your usual tossed word salad, that we’ve come to expect and love from the Caribou Moose Cunt, but it’ll do…

  39. Jukesgrrl says at 12:56 am, October 3rd, 2008

    OMG, I thought we killed Wonkette!! Thank heavens there’s was a revival as soon as Palin stopped talking. Was anyone else mean enough to hope that head-licking little one would drop the baby?

  40. smashtheduck says at 12:57 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Die Gelbe Gefahr: Yes and yes. Fucking Dems have a habit of pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. We’ve all heard too much about voting problems. So yeah, I get nervous whenever it goes too well. Fuck, I’m a BoSox fan old enough to remember Bucky Fucking Dent. So shhhhhh….it’s not something we talk about.

  41. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:59 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Can we all agree that the one thing this night proved is that Wonkette is too big to fail?

  42. Die Gelbe Gefahr says at 1:02 am, October 3rd, 2008

    smashtheduck: I actually went through a whole tube of TUMS while waiting for the debate to come on today. I think after this election, I’ll be able to claim Post Traumatic Stress. I mean, come on, eighteen and a half months of this bullshit. EIGHTEEN AND A HALF MONTHS, ALAN!

  43. graceless says at 1:04 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Jukesgrrl: Nope, you’re the only one to hope that..

  44. President Beeblebrox says at 1:04 am, October 3rd, 2008

    liquiddaddy: Decided by who? Fox viewers? Drudge?

  45. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 1:07 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Dreamer: Everybody has to touch the baby, it’s like a good-luck charm. That way Palin can spout all her shit about special needs children and look righteous (nevermind she voted against funding AK Special Olympics). I wish she’d include something to that effect in her “speeches”– hockey moms, soccer games, and the fact she can’t wait for Trig’s first Special Olympics and Job at McDonald’s…

  46. Lone Star Buck says at 1:10 am, October 3rd, 2008

    I love it…the retarded baby is fat ….gross babies suck

  47. DoktorZoom says at 1:17 am, October 3rd, 2008

    “And I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I’m going to talk straight to the American people…”

    Directly acknowledging that she’s ignoring the question. Yep, she’s a maverick, darn right.

  48. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 1:23 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Palin: “I love Jews and the retarded children, will tolerate fags but nigger-lady, I ain’t answering any of your questions– You Betcha!”

  49. Just watched the Chris Matthews bit.

    Best part? The guy with the sign in the back that said “My chair is STILL broken!”

  50. Senator Jeffrey Knight says at 4:39 am, October 3rd, 2008

    Honestly, Sarah Palin saying that the worst thing that Cheney did was shooting a campaign contributor in the face is the worst thing he did is the only thing that gives me confidence.

    You see, the vice president holds no power that the president cannot take away. That is to say, anything that you blame Cheney for, is really Bush’s fault, as he lacks the basic knowledge that “smart” people would be able to use as president (OK, Cheney, I understand you only want the best for the USA, but torture isn’t really in keeping with the ideals of the founding fathers . . .”\)\\

    If, by saying that’s the worst thing that Cheney did, she is giving accountability for all the other crap the VP’s office has pulled over the past eight years to President Bush, where it belongs . . .

    Oh, who am I kidding. Palin hasn’t even considered this convoluted way of explaining her answer, which I only came up with after beer number 12. Maybe that’s the solution, drink 12 beers and it all makes sense. But if not, all I can say is, if America is stupid enough to put Palin a McCain heartbeat away from the Presidency, America deserves all it gets.

    Man, I’m drunk. Time to sober up. At least until this barely-literate bitch obtains the presidency, at which time I intend to spend all my time drunk.

  51. Don’t complain about getting too drunk. We got mavericked.
