This is the Achilles heel question, when Palin shows she has no clue what that is. It also includes the bit where Biden chokes up about his family, then Palin shows total lack of empathy. Or perhaps cluelessness. I thought this was a very telling part of the debate and wanted to make sure it was shared here on DU.

The person who posted this has the whole debate in 5ish min segments, by question.

2. True. I'd assumed she didn't know what achilles heel was, but perhaps she does.
That is a funny take on it. I searched this one out to show MrUP after watching the SNL skit. He was aghast at her after Biden choked up as well as laughing at her having no clue what an achilles heel was.

Perhaps she does know. Still has minus zero empathy.

3. rather than talking about her Achilles heel, she demonstrated it
Because her true Achilles heel is not really her lack of experience, but the fact that she is so utterly and obviously full of shit.
