<g>No problem.From redstate.com: When the media vomit in their mouths... well, it's kind of funny. Posted by: Mark Kilmer Friday, October 3, 2008 The myopic editorialists at the Los Angeles Times must think Sarah Palin defeated Joe Biden in Thursday night's vice presidential debate. Their post-debate editorial, when read between the lines, indicates as much: "Gov. Sarah Palin shared a stage with Sen. Joe Biden and for 90 minutes skirted the edge of the abyss but avoided the plunge. Luckily for her, their debate Thursday night avoided serious civics -- no questions about Supreme Court rulings and only the briefest exposition on what constitutes the vice presidency. She did nothing to arrest her slide from phenomenon to embarrassment, but her conservative supporters, many jumping ship in recent days, can take solace that she correctly pronounced the names of several world leaders. In avoiding catastrophe, she was aided by Biden, whose looping answers drifted along a current known only to him. His best friend was the clock. [T]hese two candidates -- aided and abetted by the singularly inarticulate work of moderator Gwen Ifill -- combined to produce one of the worst debates in modern American presidential history." If Joe Biden had won the debate, the paper would have used it to reinforce the media's sloppily crafted image of Sarah Palin as a rube from the outback blinking in the big city's lights. Palin won the debate, so it has become, in their resentful prose, a tear in the political fabric, a mistake which just should not have been.
