The Debates

The silly season is upon us in this upcoming presidential election. The first presidential debate is under our belt and the only vice-presidential debate is over and done - with most of the pundits agreeing that Sarah Palin managed to not crash and burn.  However she seemed artificial and unable to answer a direct question.  No matter how many times she was pressed Palin returned to her well worn and well memorized talking points - even correcting Joe Biden on the catch phrase chanted at the republican national convention - Drill Baby Drill.

Saturday night alum Tina Fey may have found her raison d'etre in her portrayal of Sarah Palin. Fey could be her long lost twin - with the hair, the makeup, the glasses and of course the accent. She drops her ng's perfectly and can joe six pack and hockey mom with the best.  The silver lining of a McCain-Palin administration might be four years of Fey as Palin.
