    Quote from an article I read today:

    This is from Ed Schultz, so he could be making it up.

    I saw her with Katie Couric at lunch. Palin was awkward and evasive . . . but still charming. She's hard not to like, but she comes across as WAY under her pay grade on the issues, it's really bad.

    Some of it wasn't bad, some of it was real bad. I was somewhat disappointed.

    She dumbed it down so Couric could understand.

    Do you remember Katie Couric's coverage of Princess Di's funeral? You would've thought it was the academy awards. At one point, she said..."Oh, there's Cindy Crawford."...and it wasn't.

    Your obsession with winning and always being right precludes you from ever admitting when you are wrong. Which is why you ignored your earlier incorrect proclamation about Obama enjoying the largest lead of the year. You were proven wrong, don't have the sack to admit it, and instead use sarcasm and run away.

    Didn't expect much else.

    If you pay attention, someday you'll be a good debater. Meanwhile you just flail around. Did you sing the little "Nyah, nyah" song, too?

    Whining is poor debating technique and so is self-congratulations. If you are waiting for your opponent to give up, declare that you are always right, grant you three wishes, and send a hooker to your room . . . you're dreaming, Bud.

    Look I argue what I want to argue and I ignore the rest--Just as you do. I've shot down your arguments on many occasions and you just move on without challenging it. So I move on too, it's what we all do. If you are waiting for somebody to wave a white flag, proclaim you Merlin, and renounce a life of unholy polemics every time you make a tiny point. . . well, you're dreaming again.

    And losing the debate.

    If you didn't think the sun set on your ass every day, you might be a good debater yourself. As far as your advice - why don't you take it yourself? What's the matter Red, no experience in manning up when you get waxed? You sure know how to thump your chest when you proclaim your own victories(constantly), so keep your preaching to yourself. You are the king of self fellatio when it comes to FSA.

    You preen and prance here more than anyone, and set the rules according to your own whim. When you get stomped, you just ignore them and move on as if it didn't happen. Then try some sarcastic bs to distract from the fact that you got shot off your chariot. Grow up, man up, and try again tomorrow.

    For some reason, I expected more from you.

    Now, by all means, come back with your typical condescending sarcastic bs statement that in no way acknowledges that the mighty Red was PROVEN WRONG AGAIN .

    It's not like it's transparent or anything. 5....4.....3....2......

    TheDude, it's getting feisty in here. Here's to a LSU victory and a good weekend.

    She sure did dumb it down... she looked uncomfortable and was pulling crap out of her ass. Couric didn't look like the one struggling to grasp the concepts.

    That interview gives me pause. I watched it again and it wasn't good. Hopefully she'll do better at the forum when she's drinking tea with Biden and the moderator rather than debating.
