That's My Girl!

Yes, Sarah Barracuda bitchslapped Biden tonight. 

It was pleasant to watch, but I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed.  I expected more combativeness. I wanted more bitchslapping, and then for her to ask, "You want some more?  Because I'm just dying to serve it up, big boy."  

At least, that's what I would have liked to see, but given her interview performances, and how she had to make up for lost ground, perhaps that was asking too much. But the thing is...there was plenty of low-hanging fruit (Iraq, Fannie and Freddie, Afghanistan, Ahmadinejad, etc.)  that was hers for the taking, if only she'd wanted to...and she apparently didn't want to.  I have to think, perhaps, she was cautioned about getting into a pissing match with Biden.  It's one thing to come up with one zippy comeback.  It's another to keep coming up with them.  Problem is, if there was ever anyone who would have screwed up a zippy comeback quicker than she would, it's Joe Biden.  Perhaps this was an actual campaign strategy decision, so as not to affect her overall likeability factor, but I felt a little let down.

She again did what she needed to do, and while that may be "the soft bigotry of low expectations" playing out again, all you need to do is ask W. how it worked out for him. 

Of course, you have to ring the doorbell at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to do so.
