VP Debate

Watching the debate I feel like Palin is like "Talking Leave-it-to-Beaver Barbie" with a little string in her back, and when you pull it she spouts some kind of homespun catchphrase like "doggone it" or "say it ain't so joe" or "you betcha" or "bless their hearts." She's like a human framed needlepoint. The (inevitably elitist) part of me that thinks that precise and intelligent usage of language is something to be admired retches a little bit listening to her.
