DescriptionWe haven't seen a rout like this since Bulgaria's women's hockey team was beat down by Slovakia 82-0 in Olympic qualifying a month ago. Gov. Sarah Palin's debate coaches must be pleased she hit the key words (boy, did she) and a little unhappy that that's the extent of it. The grinning, winking (twice) Governor with the room temperature IQ America saw tonight made that "McCain-Spears" bumpersticker I saw the other day seem more than a little prescient.

By my count, she mentioned her running mate Sen. John McCain as a "reformer" ten times; as a "maverick" nine times. She used the phrase "greed and corruption on Wall Street" six times. And, she brought up "energy independence" seven times. She even repeated her canard about Obama "not voting to fund the troops" twice more after Sen. Joe Biden noted that McCain voted exactly the same way on the very bill she was referring to the first time. It seemed at times that McCain had voted the same way as Obama on just about every Obama vote she decried.

She even trotted out the mindless "they hate our freedoms." Rarely did the key word/phrase have anything to do with the actual question. In fact, rarely did anything she said have anything to do with the question asked.
