Joe Biden is an idiot. Seriously. Biden makes Quayle look like a Rhodes Scholar. Why are liberals so busy nitpicking Palin while their own choice for Vice President gets a pass for huge knowledge blunders? My guess is they are either sexist and/or bitter that Palin has taken the wind out of Obama's sails.
Whether or not you actually saw them, you have likely heard the non-stop criticism following Palin's interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric. It's all hot air of course, there were no huge blunders in either interview. All the criticism, from CNN to Saturday Night Live, is focused on Palin's style, accent, and appearance. What is lacking is commentary on the substance of her replies. Tina Fey's impression of Palin is brilliant. However, certainly even Fey would concede that a healthy economy does, in fact, depend on job creation and reigning in spending.
Why did SNL forgo the opportunity to focus on the stupidity of Biden, who lacks a basic command of U.S. history? In case you missed it, Katie Couric asked about the planned $700 billion bailout of Wall Street. Biden responded by showing off his knowledge of economics and The Great Depression.
"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed," Biden told Couric. "He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"
The problem? FDR wasn't the president at the time and television had not yet been invented. Biden's interview would have made for a brilliant SNL skit, and should have been the focus of the press, but apparently Biden gets a pass for this blunder because he was focused on criticizing a commercial made by his own campaign. A commercial, by the way, that Biden had never bothered to watch. Biden has a long history of putting his foot in his mouth during his insufferable lengthy plagiarized speeches, and yet he and his hair plugs get a pass from media scrutiny. If Palin's nose is too shiny we are going to hear about it.
Have no doubt, women can most certainly be sexist. Especially if they are Democrats and/or are employed by media outlets.

Amen to that. Unfortunately, it's the same story everywhere - not just politics. Corporations are the same way.
This is no surprise. It's well known that the SNL crowd, Tina Fey and all the rest are strongly liberal. This is why all the dumbed-down jokes were made on Palin during their vice presidential skit. There were little, if any, on Biden. The real shame is it was not that funny.
I don't find any fault that their political opinions are liberal. But coming from a comedy/entertainment viewpoint, it is stupid to put all your eggs in one basket, rather all your jokes on one candidate. I'd be making fun of the candidates pretty equally, like they did in the past, ie Dana Carvey as George Bush , Phil Hartman as Bill Clinton, Jon Lovitz as Michael Dukakus (sp?), etc.
What is SNL going to do if/when Obama wins this thing? There won't be any political skits.
Welcome back Polly!
