Quote of the Day
Posted on September 29th, 2008 in Uncategorized | 3 Comments »
“I’m looking forward to meeting him, too. I’ve never met him before, but I’ve been hearing about his Senate speeches since I was in, like, second grade.’’
You know, I’m about the same age as Sarah Palin, and I pay pretty close attention to politics, and my state isn’t that far from Joe Biden’s. And I’m pretty sure that not once did I ever hear a single word about a Joe Biden Senate speech. So what are the odds of “I may be broke but I’m not flat-busted” Sarah Palin, growing up in Wasilla, Alaska, having heard anything about Joe Biden until, oh, a couple of months ago?
2nd Palin-on-Biden quote of the Day:
“I have to admit, though, he’s a great debater, and he looks pretty doggone confident, like he’s sure he’s going to win. But then again, this is the same Senator Biden who said the other day that University of Delaware would trounce the Ohio State Buckeyes. Wrong!”
Dear God, help us….

Don’t you think her comment, while factually untrue, was an intention dig at the fact that he’s 700 years old? That’s the way I took it. Of course, I give credit to her handlers, not her. But sheesh…..you think she was being sincere?

Both. I actually think Palin was in second grade when Biden won election, and she wouldn’t have been able to figure that out herself, probably, so yes, it comes from the handlers, and yes, it’s a dig. But could it really be entirely sarcastic? Because that’s pretty f’ing sarcastic.

Also her sarcasm on this is pretty ill-advised, given that a 65-year old vice-presidential candidate seems far less deserving of ridicule than a 70-year-old presidential candidate.
