Palin's Achilles Heel

By Cernig

I'm back after more than 24 hours without internet and trying to catch up, but as to the Biden-Palin debate I'm in agreement with my co-bloggers on their assessments and left wondering how even the lowest of lowered expectations can believe Palin showed herself as competent and ready for the second most powerful office in the land.

Anderson's got it exactly right on her incoherent ramblings when she doesn't know what she is talking about. But he missed one absolute gem:

"My Achilles heel is that my executive experience of a huge energy-producing state counting towards much progress towards getting our nation energy independence. That's very important."

She doesn't know what the phrase means, does she?

Behind the theatrical protestations of victory, even conservatives think she barely managed to stand up and breathe at the same time - and that was with her referring to her talking points all the time Biden was responding to questions and even some of the time she herself was speaking.

Look, Palin thinks Katie Couric gave her a hard time! The already-asked question about how this woman - who likes the Dick Cheney level of Veep power - is going to react if Putin or Sarkozy asks her the wrong thing should be the main part of the Palin debate. It'll be one diplomatic incident after another unless they keep her permanently at Cheney's "undisclosed location".

Her incoherence and her inability to handle even softballs without rancor is her Achilles heel, since she was wondering. Pair that with McCain's "Cotton Hill" temper and America would have a major problem. Ask yourself, Joe and Jolene Six-Pack - would you send your most quarrelsome and mean cousins out to talk to your best friends and your neighbours for you?
