Talibany?

The Vice Presidential Debate was surprising, but for the wrong reasons. Many Americans were geared up for this debate. We were curious to see if Governor Palin would fall flat on her face, or Senator Biden stick his foot in his mouth. However, nothing of the sort would occur on America's grandstand of debate.

The CNN media coverage on the debate was actually quite surprising as the comments made by the analysts held a positive outlook on both debaters. The analysts commended Governor Palin for her effort and thought that her performance acted as an essential bandage to stop the bleeding from her previous interviews. All in all, Palin's performance was far from groundbreaking, nor was it a quick fall down the stairs. It was more like a gentle glide down the side of a jagged mountain with a porous parachute. I noticed that Palin did utilized her sports caster credentials to speak straight into the camera, but her glasses were so magnified it made her eyes look as if she was a scared little Oliver Twist asking if she could, "have some more, please." Anyway, I did not know there was such a thing called a "Talibany." It sounds cute; I think I want one, whatever it is.

Senator Biden gave an impressive performance in terms of allowing his knowledge to speak his speech instead of his temper. However, there was an evident moment were Governor Palin mentioned something about the waving of a white flag of surrender for America and Biden's face turned redder than the backside of a barn. Senator Biden did keep his cool and gave a good debate. He responded to questions with answers, which is more than I can say about some other candidates who insist on making off the cuff remarks about the new child's play toy sweeping the nation called the "Talibany." I think I really want one!
