The only Biden-Palin debate preview you need to read

Oct 02, 2008 in politics

Sure you can read qualified pundits talk about tonight’s Palin-Biden debate. They’ll tell you that Biden needs to not be a complete pompous, patronizing windbag and that Sarah Palin needs to not fall down. But really, the Biden-Palin debate can be summed up by one of the fiercest rivalries in pop culture. I am talking about the life and death struggle between Wil.E. Coyote and the Roadrunner.

The Coyote is the cunning, experienced one. Always with a plan (anvils, rocket-powered skates, traps and lure) but often tripped up by his own cleverness.

The Roadrunner is speedy, really hard to pin down, and popular amongst its supporters. So when you’re watching the debate tonight just remember Biden is the coyote and he really has to watch out for his own traps. Let Palin/Roadrunner beep-beep her way to debate defeat.

Also, if you’re bored, watch the National Post double-barrelled live blogs of tonight’s VP debate and English language debate. I’ll be helping to run the coffee-chat that is the Canadian debate. Boo ya.

Palin meets Couric…. hilarity ensues

Sep 25, 2008 in politics

Now, I can understand how some people could argue that Charlie Gibson and the rest of those rabid wolverines known as the male press corps are just being mean to Sarah Palin but Katie Couric, she of the chipmunk cheeks and million-watt style, she’s America’s sweetheart (her and Kelly Ripa).

But when Couric interviews Palin, she can’t even answer easy questions like citing examples of John McCain’s track-record of financial regulations. Ben Smith at Politico has a full transcript.

COURIC: But he’s been in Congress for 26 years. He’s been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

PALIN: He’s also known as the maverick, though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he’s been talking about — the need to reform government.

COURIC: I’m just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation?

PALIN: I’ll try to find you some, and I’ll bring them to you.

I’m not sure who we should blame Palin, or her press handlers for being so ridiculously incompetent and not prepping her properly. The best part, this train wreck will repeat itself a couple more times as Couric and CBS airs more clips from the Palin interview over the next few days. It’s like watching the same train run over someone, back up and run over them again and again.

Barack Obama for PM… I wish

So now that the Canadian election has been called I’ll no doubt be busy covering Stephane Dion’s comedic attempt at a campaign. I love Stephane, with his backpack and dog and Yoga, but I’m not sure if the average voter really thinks he’s got the chops to be PM.

Anyways, what we really need is a candidate that we can all believe in. And that candidate is none other than Barack Obama (he’s got the numbers to prove it!
