Things that make me laugh -- Biden "preparing for debates"

Joe Biden does not need to "prepare" to discuss what he has been living, eating, and breathing for three decades.

What on earth could he possibly be asked on any political subject that he'd need to study for?

Very complex topic when you think about it.

While Sarah Palin has been watching to see if Putin's head is invading Alaskan airspace, in Delaware we've been watching the injured and dead arriving at Dover Air Force Base.

I suppose politesse will prevent Biden from going there, but it would be a priceless moment to watch her try to respond to that.

Michael Jordan preparing to play basketball :P

the handshake alone and his approach will be watched.. this will no doubt be the performance of his career...

How many miles away is Sarah from reality?

for a game they've been playing for 2 decades.

Absolute bullshit.

That's what 3 of the top 5 college teams thought this weekend - that you win just by arriving on the field. Not true. You win by being better, and part of being better is better preparation. Even if you're playing the worst team in the league.

If he did it right he could reduce her to a puddle while looking and sounding like a kindly uncle.

When the Delaware R's put up Jane Brady against him, she even went so far as to distribute an attack video to Delaware voters making a 20-minute big deal out of the Kinnock quote.

She was every bit as obnoxious and petty as Palin, and there was no question about whether Joe Biden was "ungentlemanly" in putting her away.

but she just says impossibly stupid stuff and Joe has to keep from breaking down or rolling his eyes.

Because I want him to completely overpower Palin in any way possible. Even if he's already gonna give her a knockout, I want him to go full power because I'm sick of the everlasting fountain of bullshit that is the McCain-Palin "No Talk Express."

Fucking destroy her, Joe!

He could be asked about that! :P

We send out those to keep an eye on threats that might come from New Jersey because, carrot!, reporters... oh, and job creation because 1 in 5 of them doesn't have EZ-Pass and we have to collect the tolls on that bridge because it matters to people who are concerned about health care.

I don't know how you'd go about this BUT if I were on Palin's team I'd be studying up on Biden's area of expertise to try and find some likely subject from w/in that area, and cram as much detail as I could into Palin's skull on that issue, with the GOP's critique of the Democratic position. My goal would be for Palin to know figure or facts that Biden might not remember, and produce it during the debate while she lays into him or the Dem Party in general. With a LOT of luck they could hit some detail, even an irrelevant one that Biden doesn't remember quickly and clearly. The Republicans have a real love of making a cheesy attack on our candidates' strong suit (mocking Kerry's heroism in combat) and they seem to be able to make it work pretty damn often in our degraded public arena. With one lucky punch they could nullify all his decades of experience in the minds of the audience.

all the talking points come out together in one incoherent rambling answer to a single question.

The virtue of preparation... yes, I suppose it would better to sit around sucking your own dick.

He's lived style, but is a notorius run on speaker, prone to a gentle gaffe now and then. If he were mine to coach, I'd work on keeping answers short, to the point, and always turning the debate back to McCain.

"Don't take the bait and attack Palin, Joe. Attack her boss like there's no man'ana, make eye contact, but don't stare, and otherwise ignore her. She ain't in your class at all."

Joe doesn't have to cut down Palin. She's done a fine job of that herself. He just has to stand on the same floor and show America what a real statesperson sounds like.

fly on the wall during their practice sessions. I imagine lots of giggles.

Content isn't the issue, and is seldom considered in debate scoring.

Do you know how hard it is going to be for him to NOT LAUGH? Do ya?!

Then Palin looks even worse when she gets PWNT on Thursday.
