inconceivable!

Given the people I know, I don't think a Sarah Palin fan will stumble across this blog... so, have a link to an article about her debate that summarises almost everything I felt was wrong with it. (If it tries to make you log in, you can get a password from Bug Me Not.)

The one thing it didn't mention was something that I found a little scary as opposed to comical; it was the moment directly after when Biden choked up talking about his late wife and child.

What Palin should have done: made some sympathetic noises and a nice, conservative-friendly comment about the importance of having a mother figure present in a child's life, or about how single parents need more support, or whatever.

What Palin did: blinked and launched back into her "John McCain is a maverick" shtick. I honestly expected her to show a touch of human feeling, but... no.

On that note, regarding her use of 'maverick': You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
