"She Blew Me Off" Is The Technical Term

A little Tina Fey, a little Palin-bashing . . . all you need on a Sunday morning. Here, Gwen Ifill and others watch some SNL on Meet the Press and talk about Thursday's debate, in which, Ifill says, Palin "more than ignored her" and the rules of a debate. Essentially, she says, Joe Biden decided he was going to debate John McCain, and Sarah Palin decided to just give a speech.

But at least Joe answered the questions! David Gregory says Palin's strategy was to be rhetorical and not substantive. Gwen also mentions how transparent Palin was, actually telling the audience that she wasn't going to debate. She's undoubtedly trying to live up to her favorite M-word here, but please, let's pray that Americans know that in the face of an international crisis--or a banking crisis like the one we're suffereing from now!--you can't just give a 9/11 speech and walk off the stage and consider yourself victorious.
