Away from her friends on Fox, Palin folds like a cheap suit"In a media week when, aside from the more mundane news that the American economy is collapsing, it was all Palin, all the time, the best description of Sarah Palin's utter cluelessness about anything outside her own small, provincial Northern Exposure existence came from a caller to a talk radio show, albeit a show not typical of the usual American talk radio fare.
National Public Radio's " On Point " is one of the more thoughtful call-in shows in America, and one caller told host Tom Ashbrook that after listening to the debate she had come to the conclusion that Sarah Palin is George Bush in a skirt.
No doubt, Governor Palin would find comfort in her belief that anyone who listens to NPR is a God-hatin', Obama-lovin' commie."
Reality intrudes and McCain buckles"Ineffectual under pressure. McCain pulled a transparent stunt in pretending to suspend his campaign so he could go to Washington and somehow appear relevant."
John McCain's tactics of desperation"The schizophrenic campaign of John McCain is getting uglier. Losing ground as the economy tumbles, he's betting on innuendo and vilification — tactics of desperation — to defeat Barack Obama. Voters should expect better from a candidate who boasts straight talk and bipartisanship, even if he is behind in the polls."
McCain races towards a dead end"Erratic, irascible, fidgety - it is John McCain who looks like a cornered loser, while Barack Obama exhibits cool intelligence and grace under pressure"
Call Off the Pit Bull"Democrats and other critics distracted by her winks may have missed the message, but Palin's target audience heard it loud and clear.
She is like the high-pitched whistle only dogs can hear. While Democrats heard non-answers, superfluous segues and cartoon words -- shout-out, I'll betcha, doggone, extra credit --
Republicans heard God, patriotism, courage, victory. It's called code, and Republicans are fluent."
For John McCain, these aren’t the good ol’ days"If your parents live long enough there comes that awful moment when you look at them and realize: they’ve grown old. Suddenly, they’re unsteady on their feet. They tell bizarre, wince-inducing jokes. They’re the only ones grinning - and grinning weirdly at that. That’s how I felt watching John McCain on Tuesday night."
