This VP debate is weird ...

[blamebrampton]

Tragically, there was work for me to do today, so I am only catching up with the VP debate now (and given that the weather made a solid bid for 100 deg F today, I'll probably run out and grab ice-cream to see me through it).

It may just be me, but my opening thought is: Why does Sarah Palin's body language all read as though she has a massive crush on Joe Biden?

The ice-cream will probably help this all make more sense, I should go and sort that mission before I start slashing them ...

Palin keeps referring to Biden as Obiden, which must be their smush name, so secretly she slashes them

Oh, great. Thanks so much for the incentive. :P I've been trying to avoid watching the VP debate on my DVR (my parents recorded it) because... well, it just doesn't interest me at all (any election doesn't interest me at all), but now you've gone and done it: you made me want to watch this.

I haven't seen it yet so I can't really comment. But of course I'm going to anyway. ;) I'm actively trying to avoid watching her, to be honest, she just gets up my nose. And the treatment she's getting - silk gloves because she's a mother, for example (as if Obama and McCain aren't fathers!) - is beyond infuriating. Come ON, people - if the best thing to say about a VP candidate is that she manages to avoid making a total fool of herself on occasion (oh, and that she's purdy), it's a sad state of affairs.

In other news, we have 9 degrees C and rain today. It's almost summer! ;)

Eww! No way! LOL Though I hear she has a thing for older men who call her sweetcakes.

she was totally flirting with him, which is why she was winking so damn much.

It's a sad state of affairs when a woman running for an office of such importance can't keep that shit under control on national TV. Honestly, does she not know the difference between a political debate and a cocktail party.

I hate her for a whole new set of reasons now. She's just really crappy PR for women in positions of responsibility.

LOL.

Oh, you. &hearts

But I would, uh...totally read it.

I watched a bit at someone's urging (solely for entertainment value, I already know against whom I'm voting), and before falling asleep shortly into it I managed to be nearly mesmerized by Palin. Her body language almost seemed coquettish at times. She's certainly not my type, and prior to this week watching her made me physically ill, so I find it unsettling that she was so appealing, (while as usual managing to say nothing of substance). Maybe just a moment of insanity. *shudder*
