401!

paul said...

biden's been to chad.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

surge = increase number of troops.

Anonymous said...

401st!

paul said...

nice work on that last sentence biden.

paul said...

lame here pain.

Emily Frandsen said...

props on the darfur actions. this should have been done a long time ago

Stephen said...

"oh i'm so stupid....please explain it to me."

paul said...

'palin'

Anonymous said...

I was way off...

petey said...

let's talk about mccain vote against bush tax cuts TWICE, before he was for it. it is now the cornerstone of his economic policy

paul said...

why is darfur politically correct and iraq isn't?

Naomi said...

Yeah, Mel, how is she doing that loose braid thing in the back?

Emily Frandsen said...

isn't palin being coached by Washington insiders? isn't that where all memorized speeches come from?

Stephen said...

jonny, surge, as it is defined in this context, equals our strategy in iraq to enlist the sunni militia, get the clerics in line, AND increase number of troops.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

She started her response by saying she is foreign to washington? did I understand that?

The Frandsen's said...

TD Utes, 13-9.

paul said...

that's okay libby.

yes, all us senators about face with the voting system.

petey said...

jonny.
not really.
the surge is a type of strategy. not simply an increase in number of troops.

paul said...

us=US

jimbo said...

oh and by the way, there's oil in my state...

paul said...

stop squabbling about the surge.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

why did you vote for it then?

Stephen said...

nice biden, tie them to the bush administration.

paul said...

oh and by the way, i live next to russia.

petey said...

embily.
nice call. i like. i like.

paul said...

enough already palin.

Stephen said...

"i beg to disagree with you?" what does that even mean?

paul said...

is she really taking the 'i'm for this war and you're not' thing this far? she on the wrong side of this anyway.

Stephen said...

jimmy james!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emily Frandsen said...

back to mcstory via palin.
**thanks for coining that phrase last week Stephen

Stephen said...

nice question, gwen.

petey said...

how dare she challenge what committee hearings he himself held years before she even began to think about international issues..

she is def winning on stingy zingers like that.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

good point paul.

paul said...

did you just notice stevie?

jimbo said...

thank you Stephen, I just got home, giddy with excitement to be blogging with you

paul said...

better late than never.

Naomi said...

Biden's doing a nice job of giving the campaign wrap up speech. Is that what Gwen intended?

Emily Frandsen said...

palin: and I would make sure all hockey moms get tax breaks!

Anonymous said...

is this different from obama? sounds the same to me.

petey said...

biden looks strung out right now.

Stephen said...

444th!!

Stephen said...

444th!

jimbo said...

and i agree paul, she's got her foot in her mouth on the voting on iraq thing

paul said...

if you flipped to NBC you aren't seeing the love of the ohioans for biden right here.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

Naomi-all I can say is that her stylists are great strategists as well...

Naomi said...

Don't really buy that bit about The Most Important Election ever. Of course he thinks it is--he's running in it!

Stephen said...

i think he wants to be the same, libby.

paul said...

ironic that he brought up 1932 and the depression in light of the economy right now.

paul said...

a team of mavericks? lame.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

she winked again

petey said...

STOP SMILING!

paul said...

nice wink ;)

Stephen said...

"what d'ya expect? a team of mavericks" mccain delivered that exact line last week during the couric interview.

jimbo said...

mccain has never asked her to leave her complete lack of foreign policy experience at the door

petey said...

i don't have to check my opinions at the door.

but he doesn't let me talk to people or do interviews.

Anonymous said...

fluffy, fluffy.

paul said...

said palin, "i'll rid the whole world of greed."

petey said...

jimmy james!
nice!

Stephen said...

jimmy james. boo yes.

paul said...

oh. katie's restraunt. he's so folksy

Naomi said...

Biden spends a lot of time at Home Depot? That's awesome!

Stephen said...

small town contest. who is going to win?

Naomi said...

Dave thinks Palin goes to Lowes. Fight on.

Stephen said...

joe six pack vs. hockey mom. please.

jimbo said...

'home depot where i spend a lot of time'

careful joe, that sounds a bit silly

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

stop the Wasilla v. Wilmington attempt to personalize it

paul said...

scranton! how could he resist?

petey said...

well done joe.

Amy F said...

hi i think palins kinda winnen by kinnda alot this lafe not ammy

paul said...

say it aint so joe. nice.

Emily Frandsen said...

middle class. we've come full circle.

Stephen said...

did you see the ny times article today about biden's neighborhood? he lives on 6 lakeside acres, etc.

Mikey, Anna, Lillie and Sam said...

"say it aint so joe"..."dog gonnit"...isn't she cute?

petey said...

doggone.
bush IS relevant.

jimbo said...

she's digging her grave

Stephen said...

lafey!!!!!!!!!! welcome!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

wink #2!!

jimbo said...

it's the student body president elections

Emily Frandsen said...

the winks are killing me.
shout outs? what is this? MTV's TRL?

Stephen said...

lafe: are you getting extra credit for this?

props to ifill for making education a topic.

petey said...

how many more winks are we going to get tonight?

oh yeah.
let me recite my education note real quick. rather than addressing the fact the bush = mccain.

paul said...

that's my stevie. always fair and balanced.

Naomi said...

Dave and I think that Palin would be a great News Anchor. Does Katie Couric feel some competition, perhaps?

petey said...

don't worry. cheney already took way more power than the constituion gives him

paul said...

nice naomi. as peter would say, boo yeah.

Stephen said...

palin is a news anchor. i think we should offer her the job.

Stephen said...

john mccain tapped her?

petey said...

of course j. mccain tapped her.

is that sexist? i think he is.

paul said...

don't read that last one lafey.

paul said...

biden will be sitting in the room on every decision?

Stephen said...

judging by some of the emails uncle joe sends me, i'd say he wouldn't mind tapping that either.

Amy F said...

Dad wants you all to know that, after making such a big deal about McCain's combover last week... Biden has a combover.

I say it must be an age thing?...

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

Lafe, you just like her hair too.

jimbo said...

read..the...cards.... AHHHH

paul said...

wow stephen. best laugh of the night. i guess this hasn't been so boring after all.

petey said...

cheney claims he is both a part and completely separated from both parties at the same time.

= flexibility

paul said...

good thing we're headed for a new page.

Stephen said...

dad: biden does not have a combover. he has hair plugs. and he's bald in the back.

Naomi said...

Dave thinks that Palin speaks like George Bush and thinks like Dick Cheney. Hmmm...

paul said...

cheney is too easy a target.

petey said...

biden doesn't have a combover.

it is well known that he has hair plugs.

The Frandsen's said...

Utah TD 20-9.

Emily Frandsen said...

dangerous cheney: hunting accident case in point.

Stephen said...

biden: nice answer.

petey said...

what business did she own?

Stephen said...

a business owner? that's a new talking point.

paul said...

did she just say my experience will be put to the test?

petey said...

embily.
be warned. don't offend the hunters in this family.

paul said...

you'll pay your bills sarah, because the VP makes pretty good money.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

I think she missed the question. We already know this, we want to know where you view your weaknesses. this is mel.

Stephen said...

dave: i like the way you think. i agree with you 100%

petey said...

pay out of pocket. and i'm smiling still.

jimbo said...

was the question about my vast experience as an alaskan business owner?

paul said...

that's if you win.

Stephen said...

nice paul.

mel!!!!!!!!!!!!! welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!

paul said...

'perfect ideal'?

she said, 'equal rice.'

Stephen said...

my excessive passion...such a weakness. yeah right.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

He hasn't admitted he's wrong in 30 years, is that a strength?

paul said...

wow. sad story.

Anonymous said...

for the ticket that is campaigning on change, it's odd to hear biden say he won't change.

paul said...

the 'what is your weakenss' question is lame.

Stephen said...

tearing up.

petey said...

this is very real.

Naomi said...

Biden! Emotion! Soccer moms, take notice.

paul said...

i thought biden was going to cry for a moment. so clintonesque

Stephen said...

the deej, good point.

petey said...

i wish we were on cnn right now to see how many points joe biden just scored.

i liked that segment

Anonymous said...

isn't the maverick thing getting old? I don't know how many more times I can take it.

Emily Frandsen said...

biden seems so much more sincere than palin. her fake smiles and memorized statements are not sincere.

paul said...

peter. if you had kept the control and disallowed stevie changing the station.

jimbo said...

i'm with you libby. becca just said the same thing

Stephen said...

it's so awesome that we have a turncoat supporting mccain. awesome.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

I don't care about change "for the sake of change." Yes, we need to change, but what are the changes you are suggesting? What do you change into?

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

paul said...

biden, "he has been no maverick..."

very nice biden. very nice. he's strong here.

jimbo said...

the nail in the coffin, biden

Stephen said...

biden's with you too libby. he's busting that idea wide open. wahoo.

petey said...

how do you "not got to allow?"

democrats, progress? what about a surplus for four years at the end of clinton's tenure.

(yes yes. tech boom). but look at the deficit the GOP left us with.

petey said...

i like the biden attack on the maverick brand

Stephen said...

a maverick he is not. i like the syntax.

paul said...

biden's right here. mcain is only a maverick when it is politically expedient or when he is being vindictive.

Stephen said...

Moral turpitude is a legal concept in the United States that refers to "conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice, honesty, or good morals"

that's what i found out on wikipedia.

Anonymous said...

5 years... hmmm... not much longer than obama's been in the senate. not long...

petey said...

paul.
actually, i changed to msnbc.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

quasi? Nice
-jonny

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

quasi? Nice
-jonny

Stephen said...

ooh...libby's gloves come off.

petey said...

don't forget who runs this house.

The Frandsen's said...

TD OSU. failed 2 pt conversion
20-15

paul said...

petey: oh.

petey said...

working together is compromising.

is she retarded?

jimbo said...

HA

Stephen said...

gwen ifill erred on the side of being too impartial during this debate.

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

Petey, please don't say that.

petey said...

old senators are such wind bags...

they have so many frggin stories...

Stephen said...

ron and shauna: where are you?

paul said...

whatever joe.

Stephen said...

peter takes it back.

Anonymous said...

i don't think you're allowed to call the parent of a special needs child 'retarded.' call me politically correct...

paul said...

'i've never questioned someone's motives.' yeah right.

Stephen said...

libby, why not, isn't it in her genes?

Stephen said...

sorry. i take it back.

paul said...

'you do what i did.' 'fire people who don't like your family.'

petey said...

sorry guys.

i'll back off that.

i don't think she's very intelligent

jimbo said...

for the record, i was laughing at the irony of her blundering style of speech, not the R comment.

i'm a good person.

Anonymous said...

sick. that doesn't even deserve a response.

Stephen said...

"hey, they taught me to say track record a bunch tonight, and that's what i did, and now for my memorized closing statement."

Stephen said...

filter of mainstream media. yeah right.

petey said...

tough questions!! please!

then take an interview!

take an interview!

Emily Frandsen said...

definitely wouldn't have gone there with the mainstream media comment if I were her...

jimbo said...

her little loving comments are giving me diabetes

Stephen said...

although she's completely inept, she definitely didn't bomb tonight. i mean look at this, she memorized an entire reagan quote.

petey said...

nice cheesy poetry...

how long do you think it took her to memorize that piece?

Anonymous said...

so sentimental...

Jonny, Mel, Aaron said...

It's not really her genes... it was her spindle apparatus.

Stephen said...

that memorized quote reminds me of a little kid getting up during a sacrament meeting primary program and reciting his or her part.

paul said...

the ohioan women are loving biden right now.

Anonymous said...

jonny's in med school.

Stephen said...

omg, these two are such cheeseballs.

paul said...

the ohioan men actually surpassed the women in the love for biden.

jimbo said...

i was going to say her turns always sounded like fast and testimony meeting

Stephen said...

paul: you flipped back to cnn? i can't believe it.

Stephen said...

petey's flipping back to cnn.

paul said...

omg=oh my goodness.

Stephen said...

she just said thank you like 500 times.

paul said...

palin: good. stop touching me joe. 'preciate ya'

Anonymous said...

turn off the mics...

jimbo said...

thank you, thank you THANK YOU AHH

Stephen said...

come on guys, let's get it to 600 comments.

Anonymous said...

my analysis: it was good. i probably have to give the win to biden, but I thought palin did a great job.

paul said...

they gave campbell brown a seat!

Stephen said...

yes. we're back to campbell brown.

Stephen said...

paul: you're love, anderson cooper, is back on.

Stephen said...

*your.

jimbo said...

todd palin for president of the snowmobilers of america

Stephen said...

i'm going to grow a first dude goatee.

Anonymous said...

willow loves the spot light so much. cute girlie.

petey said...

mccain dodged a major bullet tonight.

Stephen said...

campbell brown: i'm seriosly so in love with you.

omg, look at sarah palin hold her baby. this is probably the first time she's held it in 3 weeks.

sorry, was that sexist?
