Palin debate against Biden

It is enough to say that Bidden offered a relatively self-assured performance in his debate with Palin and he did, at least to some extent, address the questions. Palin on the other hand failed to address the questions and her whole performance was indicative of a lady who is a way out of her depth here. Did I say a way out of her depth? This woman is a babbling idiot; she was asked the question, what she considered more dangerous, a nuclear Iran or a nuclear Pakistan? Her reply, "“An armed, nuclear armed especially Iran is so extremely dangerous to consider.”1 Excuse me, please! What kind of drivel is that? Still, at least here we got an answer of sorts and on the whole she avoided, ..... well she avoided answering those types of questions that you would think it necessary for an American Vice President to answer; questions, for instance, on Iran, on global warming, interventionism, Israel and Palestine. This isn't just a bad joke, it is also not just an insult to our intelligence, it is, bloody dangerous.
Palin is not a recent phenomena, indeed, having been exposed to Ronald Reagan, Dan Qualye, George Herbert Walker Bush, Dick Cheney, George W Bush and, yes, John "did I ever tell you that I was a POW in Vietnam" McCain, she is, at best, only a front runner in the biggest idiot stakes and do you notice that those idiots are Republicans and that when they are in power we invariably have a more aggressive, unilateral and, ultimately, bellicose American foreign policy that in its dimensions and consequences surpasses anything that the Democrats are capable of and I say that despite "Bill Cinton's war" against the former Yugoslavia. Surely, surely the American voting public aren't going to be that stupid this time round. Still as we were shown in 2000 they might not even have to.
