The VP Debate: Friar Tuck meets Mrs. Ingalls

We began our great Debate Non-Party last night by
establishing some clear rules.
-

• It's a Non-Party, not a Party, so be quiet.
• Use hand signals to direct the remote controller (see Jimmy at the right, correctly using the "pause" signal)
• Express your political views openly, but only when debate is paused.
• Crunch your chips quietly.

-
Other than that, have a great time.

First thing, right off the bat,
Who's fault is the nation's mortgage crisis?
-
Connie got her head swiveling and her finger pointing, "But wait a minute, Tom,......" She and Tom went at it, volleying the greedy lenders vs the greedy borrowers.
-
"Darn, right," says Governor Palin, leaning heavily toward personal responsibility while "Senator O'Biden" wants tax payers to pay for everyone else's over-spending.

Say it aint so, Joe, did Palin just mispronounce nuclear as nuceelar? You Betcha, Debra does NOT want 4 more years of the mispronunciation of "nuclear" as "nuceelar." She & Tom are in agreement on this: nuceelar is as bad as nails running down a chalk board.

At this time, I pointed out how much the back view of a standing Joe Biden looks exactly like Hoyt Poole. Jimmy had Kwik Karry flashbacks and shouted out an order for 4 over-easy.
-

Y'know... I could probably go for Hoyt Poole in the White House.
-
-
Tom : "Love me some TiVo!"

The fun really began when we started freezing the TV screen and debating the more serious issues, such as facial expressions.

-

We discovered..... Joe Biden has horns. right there, just under a thin layer of skin
-
And perhaps a little botox?
-
"Oh," snickers Patti, "So mature."
-
Ouch. That smarts when your child calls you immature.

O'biden: "No one has been a bettter friend to Israel than Joe Biden."

Now wait a minute," says I, "Is he talking about himself in the third person? 'Cause I can't take 4 years of third person talk."
-
Tom: "Tommy don' like dat."

-


Biden talk: . . . 95%..... blah blah.... billions.... blah blah..... 95%..... FUNdamental . . .blah blah.......billions..... blah blah . . FUNdamental. . . . Over 95% . . . . billions . . . . funnnndamental . . "

To make it sound real, he should have mixed up his stats a little bit.

Now look, look quick... to your right...
Do you know what he is saying here?
He said it several times, slowly, dragging out the last syllable, which was an added syllable, really.

"SPAINNNNNNN-A."

I don't remember why he was talking about Spain-a because I was so distracted by his spitting the word out and dragging it on so. If you know, leave me a comment.

Here's Tom with Patti, she joined us via satellite. Errrr phone. She wasn't TiVo'd so she was ahead of us and told us a huge fight broke out & we got all excited.
-
-
To quote Palin (go mainstreeters!!), "Darn."
-
There was no fight.
-
-
Little Known Fact: Biden spends a lot of time at Home Depot!
