VP Debate Open Thread
October 2nd, 2008 at 8:54 pm by BrianI know I’ve been absent. I’m sorry. I’m a bad person. But I’m excited about the throwdown tonight.
I’ve got my Arturo Fuente Hemingway at the ready – My Ron Zacapa Centenario in the wings….bring it on bitches.
ON THE WAY: Don’t talk to me about credit cards coming from Delaware.
Big Joe just declared himself and Obama in favor of Same-Sex Marriage. And the subsequent protection of health insurance benefits. Thanks, Big Joe.
Mrs. McMurphy just declared herself in a platonic, same-sex love with Sarah Palin’s answer. She has my blessing. Take that NOW.
Biden just declared himself Israel’s best friend. He brings the potato latkes. He buys Hebrew National hot dogs. He supports a pre-emptive air strike on Iran’s nucular facilities. Ooops. Strike that last one.
Download Skype and get the McMurphy replay live! Hear the voice of the person you’ve hated for years.
Biden: Maverick, Schmaverick…he’s the reason why your house is cold in the winter!
And….it’s over! If it was an orgasm, it would have been faked. Please wash your hands before leaving and we’ll try this again we’re in the mood. Remember to practice safe debating.
Apropo of nothing, someone in Louth, Ireland loves us.
Per Mrs. McMurphy, quote “Take it from a woman who lives there and knows people who talk like that…you remember when Jennifer said “you know what, she is just like you.” You know what, we have virtually the same opinions on everything.”
“We have the same opinions on everything…I thought she was fan-f****ing tastic”.
“Stop quoting me burvatim…you’re making me sound stupid. I had a drink, so what?”
“You’re a f****ing jerk. Type that down.”
Sleeping On It: After having a few hours to absorb the debate and dreaming about Sarah Palin in a Barbarella outfit being chased by men in 3 piece suits with kitten heads while Joe Biden suckled the teat of a sewer rat bearing a Chase Manhattan Master Card logo, I still say – DRAW.
I know everybody wants to root for the home team and all but I calls ‘em likes I sees ‘em.
The research team nestled in the armed fortress that is Laurie Industries does likewise.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Surprisingly, 20 minutes in and I don’t want to beat the shit out of Gwen Ifill…
Yet.
I might want to do that to Biden though…
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Gwen was fair in the last debate she did. I think it was during the 2004 election.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Seems like the only way to be a good American to Biden is to pay a lot of taxes. I know that sounds simplistic, but oh well.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:29 pm
She’s doing fine so far.
To be honest, I could do without so many “You betchas” and “Gosh darns” but she seems to be fairing far better than in previous showings.
Just relax Sarah. Stay the course. Biden’s mental Viagra has already kicked in. Stay smart, succinct and provide him all the “deflatio” he needs.

Sarah…you’ve had three opportunities now to point out the over $100,000 that Obama has collected from FNMA and FHLMC…and also his ties to Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines…
Would you please play that card and let Biden grip on that?
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:31 pm
LK – get wise and come up here. You’ve got a home in Tennessee and you don’t even know it.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Back off my woman, Brian.
Laurie, Caleefornia is the place you oughta be…why don’t you load up the truck and move to Beverly…
OK, Joe Biden…you global warming freak…you have kool-aid stains all over your collar
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Global warming… global warming… global warming. Biden said the polar ice cap is melting. Maybe we could put hair plugs on it to shore it up.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Did she just say “Nucular”?
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:36 pm
For every tree we chop down, we should invest several thousand dollars in hair plugs for follically challenged Americans.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Can somebody find gay marriage in the constitution for me? Plugs just said it was in there so it must be.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Whoops. Boortz would hang up on Palin. She just said I-Rack.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Preston, that would be covered under the 1st, 5th, 8th, 14th, and 34th Amendments…under the new Obama administration’s math and his Supreme Court nominees…
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Or planning in the hills of Chicago. Biggest Jihad cells in America.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Brian…you know how much I appreciate you Vols. We both know Tennesseans helped make the great state of Texas what it is!!!
I liked her pit bull lipstick at 8:43 Houston time. She told American that Obama bin Biden’s exit strategy in Iraq was “waiving the white flag of surrender…you betcha”.
She’s doing fine.
Hi Nigel!!
LK
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Yep. She said Nukular. She wants to be president.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:48 pm
You know…it’s really a shame that Six Meat Buffet is too fricken cheap to have one of those chat/live blog machines like they have at Ace and Hot Air…
I might be a Moron…but y’all are my peeps. So I’m gonna stay here.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:49 pm
This is just painful to watch. It’s a damn good thing Palin is worth looking at.
She keeps saying nucular. It’s a good thing that that pronunciation is Carter-approved.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Mid-debate grading of Gwen Ifill? Anyone wanna chime in?
Right now I’d give her a “B”…she has been even-handed.
Did Joe Biden just sigh?
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Oh my GOD…she DID say nukular.
LK
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Ya know, I’ve tried to do the Ace and Hot Air live chats before and the shit doesn’t work.
Now maybe I’m just not gay enough, but Skype works too. We can live chat this shit together. I’m at Brian McMurphy on Skype. Check it, yo.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Nucular is the correct spelling.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Unfortunately foreign policy seems like Biden’s thing. Not enough alcohol in my house.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I have AIM.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Nucular as opposed to nukular? Please forgive me Brian for misspelling the the mispronunciation wrong.
Biden has presented well for the most part. Any thoughts so far? He’s got her beat in the foreign policy department.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Where are y’all watching this? I’m on FoxNews…anyone watching this on MSNBC?
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 pm
OK, she’s now kind of “hybriding” the word Nuclear…”Nuculear” is the new pronounciation
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Ahkmedinijad????
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I’m watching it on myspace debates.
October 2nd, 2008 at 9:59 pm
I wonder if they do the nucular thing intentionally. Have you ever heard someone say nucular energy? I haven’t. But you hear the word nucular in regards to weaponry. Am I wrong?
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:00 pm
I gotta say it looks like a draw at best at this point. I’m on Skype as Sixmeat. Where you at, Bmac? And where’s Crank?
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Hugo Chavez is going to get nucular weapons from Russia. Hugo funds FARC turrists. Farc Turrists root for Barack O-bam-A.
What else do I need to know here?
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Well…Biden does pronounce “nuclear” correctly…
And he’s a better liar than Palin. Obama has not put together ANY legislation. Obama DID say he would meet with “Ahkmedinijihad”…and leaders like him…without pre-condition.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:03 pm
OK, I don’t know how to get to “Skype”. I am afraid I would end up in some gay chatroom…
So methinks I’ll stay here. “Skype” just sounds gay.
(Of course “Twitter” sounds gay too…and Stacy from StillStacy made me sign up)
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:03 pm
All arabs put an “aaaach” in there. Aaaahkmidinejad. Aaaaaccapulco. Aaaaack C. Klanheider.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Biden’s winning.
Did I say that?
Palin sounds like me to me though. What I mean is that she sounds like a real person.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Joe just lauded his efforts in Bosnia intervention and during his diatribe you could have substituted the name Iraq for Bosnia and tied his ass in knots….
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:08 pm
I don’t think Biden is “winning”…I’m thinking its a draw at this point.
Of course you would have to believe the Biden is telling the truth in order to believe he is “winning”.
Sarah is right…you can say what you want to say NOW…but he will get taken apart tomorrow morning by a press who will do their duty and fact check all of this.
(OK, who just laughed at that?)
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I thought that was a typo, Nigel.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Is this the biggest election since 1932? Is the sickle coming down?
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:11 pm
The people in his neighborhood watch the network news.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:16 pm
If ya’ll want, for the Presidential debate we may have an open invite to Casa de McMurphy. Who wants to come to Nashville?
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Hey everyone! Sarah Palin won the debate in a landslide! For reals:
http://thisgoesto11.blogspot.com/2008/10/sarah-palin-wins-really.html
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Brian, I would love to return to N-ville…but your town is too moonbatty…
Maybe if we can go beat up some liberals post-debate.
Cry, Joe…Cry!
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Hey…where the hell is Cranky?
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:26 pm
I think the problem is that Palin doesn’t have 30 something years of congressional history to talk about. Nor does Obama. She doesn’t really have anything to pin on Obama and Biden is just bypassing her and focusing on McCain.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Michele…that’s a great point.
Nice point that Sarah just made about the MSM filter.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:31 pm
You get a few drinks in me and this town is whatever I want it to be.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:34 pm
And it’s over.
I don’t think there was a winner.
Which is what Sarah needed to do tonight…it needed to be a knockout and it wasn’t.
Bummed.
I don’t drink. So I think I’ll go find a gallon of Cookies and Cream…
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Yeah, Brian! Good thing we don’t have much of a Moonbat problem down here in SD, right Nigel?!
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:36 pm
All the Palins rushed the stage. Where’s Preggers?!
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Well, all I can say was that was tedious at best. I didn’t see a winner. It just kind of sucked.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Yiddish…you are in North County. Head down to PB and we can find plenty of hippies and liberals to beat up.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Oh wait Yid…you were being snarky.
Sorry. Too depressed to notice.
Of course the Fox guys are all saying Sarah crushed it…but somehow I just don’t feel it.
Maybe my expectations were too high.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:49 pm
My tummy hurts.
