On what planet...
is it acceptable for a Vice-President of the United States to wink at a camera and virtually flirt???

I was APPALLED.

Sorry, but that is NOT what I call Vice-Presidential (and thereby potentially Presidential) behavior.

That not withstanding the fact that Palin didn't even answer half the questions that were posed to her... she'd redirect them to either taxes or energy. (And what makes her an energy expert? Just because she's the governor of a state that happens to have oil and oil drilling? Does that mean that McCain is an expert in red rocks... or senior citizens...? Oh.. well, maybe he does have some expertise in the latter.)

I was glad that Biden didn't try to correct her when she called General McKierman "McClellan" (who has been dead since the late 1800s and had nothing to do with Afghanistan). It would have been petty, and I think he showed great restraint (especially considering that's the occasional weak point in his pocket.)

But, I will say that Palin didn't fall to pieces... 70 million Americans waited with baited breath, kind of like waiting for the big crash at an auto race. She just didn't ... well, answer the questions.
