The Caribou Barbie Reality Show

First Presidential Debate

Ooohhh, I so wanted to take a break from politics but how could I do that after Barack Obama thoroughly destroyed John McCain in the first debate. Of course, most Republican pundits will say that McCain won but that's all just false reporting. When you break it down issue for issue, McCain never had a chance.

However, McCain did have a few smart things to say. Unfortunately, anything good that McCain said was overshadowed by his own obvious inferiority complex and visible fear, frightened to look Obama in the eye when speaking to him. Obama, I thought, may have been too relaxed, too much of a gentleman - something most Americans don't identify with. While I felt that Obama could have been more aggressive, I respected that he didn't bother to stoop that low.

Judging the Vice Presidents

I think after three interviews with Sarah Palin, most Americans know that Caribou Barbie is a moron. Charles Gibson gave her some fairly decent questions which she fumbled. Then Sean Hannity practically gave her a free and easy interview which no one with a brain respected. In fact, he did Sarah Palin a disservice by throwing her easy questions. It didn't make her look good. It helped confirmed her stupidity. With all of the sexist talk, Katie Couric did America a favor by eliminating the concept of sexism and giving Sarah Palin a real interview which Caribou Barbie failed with flying colors. Thank you Charles Gibson & Katie Couric.

While it was a boon to Republicans early on, the economic crisis and her own stupidity have erased any leads the McCain/Palin ticket might have enjoyed. Even some Republican pundits have called for her to step down because she's thoroughly dragging down the party. [source]

On the other hand, we've got Joe Biden. Let's be honest here, while Sarah Palin is busy destroying herself by talking, Joe Biden is practically untouchable on anything. Outside of his minor gaffes, Republican pundits can't really say anything about Joe Biden. Seriously, in 35+ years as a senator in the United States, I find it difficult the best thing anyone can complain about is his silly soundbites - no scandals, no fraud, nothing. He's got 35+ years of government experience, 10 years more than McCain himself, small town appeal and incredible foreign policy experience.

The Caribou Barbie Reality Show

With all of that said, can we really expect Sarah Palin to win any debates against Joe Biden. If anyone can remember the deer-in-the-headlights look that Caribou Barbie had with Charles Gibson, you know this debate will be more funny that helpful to McCain. If you remember the painfully uncomfortable feeling you had when she explained her foreign policy experience to Katie Couric, you know this debate is going to have its tense moments.

Eventually, we're going to come to a point where we will want Caribou Baribie off the show, out of the house, voted off the island because she IS the weakest link. But, until she goes, she will make for some damn good reality television. What makes it really good is that it will be REAL reality television, totally unscripted.

The Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin will be GREAT!
