THE DEBATE

Sarah Palin expatiated with plenty of platitudes, puffery, and cute little phrases.
Palin’s debating was strong in style; Biden’s was strong in substance.
Sarah Palin appealed to the emotions---and so did Biden---but Biden outdid Palin when he said things which required more of the intellect than that of a soft and cuddly solar plexus.
Biden stayed on point and on the points---Palin did not.
Joe Biden’s small and proximate eyes were nearly as bothersome as Palin’s winking eye and effervescent lips.
It is not sexist to say that Mrs. Palin exuded a feminine and fatuous exterior.
It is not chauvinistic to say that Mr. Biden displayed a masculine and less fatuous exterior.
Palin rarely made eye contact with Biden, but instead gave her stares as the concerned soccer (or moose-murdering hockey) mom.
Palin was not convincing when she said that she was for less government, when her running mate has endorsed the big government and overspending of George W. Bush’s bungling and exorbitant regime.
Joe Biden won.
Sarah Palin lost.


IT'S THE OIL STUPID!
