Top Five
(In No Particular Order)
SNL Biden/Palin Opener
I don’t know about Scranton but Wilmington is a fine place to grow up. Ok so I grew up in Newark but still :)

Bill Maher Takes On Palin’s Debate Performance
I’m surprised that no one is talking about the fact that if all Republican males can say about her performance is how they reacted when she winked that they are being sexist. Ok so that isn’t all they talked about but I think that comment is as bad as when they talked about Condi Rice’s knee high boots when she first became Secretary of State.

John McCain’s Rage is a National Security ConcernBiden Explains Debate Moment Where He Choked Up
One of my favorite moments in this debate because it shows Joe Biden the person not Joe Biden the Senator.

Palin On Fox News: Couric Annoyed Me
I have to say that if Palin wants to talk to the American people without a filter then she should give more speeches or make unfiltered statements at press conferences. She should not get upset at people doing their jobs. No one forced her to be interviewed by Katie Couric and if she is from the “media elite” you knew that before you sat down with her. If you are a real maverick why not be interviewed by a Washington outsider say a reporter from the local Wasilla paper or TV station. Just something to think about.
