We've Been Bailed Out!

House votes 263-171.

I can already feel the economy getting better. Really.

Sarah Palin Didn't Answer Anything

From Think Progress:

For Sarah Palin, last night’s debate was an open-book exam. She spent much of the evening methodically reading and rehearsing answers from “carefully scripted talking points.” Palin’s notes were largely hidden from plain view, resting behind the lectern where she stood.

Because the cable and network television stations did not show a split screen of the debate, most viewers could not see that, during Joe Biden’s answers, Palin spent almost all her time looking down and studiously reading her notes. But viewers did see that when Palin delivered her answers, she would repeatedly glance down to check her talking points.

ThinkProgress has compiled a video documenting some of the instances where it was clear to the audience that Palin was propped up by written responses. Watch a video compilation:

So, we'll never get to see Palin unscripted and working off the top of her head. Wouldn't want to know how someone a heartbeat from the presidency would handle that kind of situation, would we?

Rick Baker: "I don't think homeless people should vote. Frankly. In fact, I have to be very honest. I'm not that excited about women voting, to be honest....But that's just me. I'm a pig, and that's fine. All right? And we'll see that, I'm sure, on a lame-ass website very soon. But I don't think hobos ought to vote at all. They're nuts. And I think that there needs to be a little more care in who votes."

I'm doing some work with the great women (and a few men) behind Not My Gal, a site dedicated to women explaining why Sarah Palin is not their girl. Here are a few Floridians on Palin:
