Changing the rules...

It seems that those who comment like my little political commentary. I'll keep it brief with something that had me alternately pissed off and laughing at the insanity this week.

It seems that the GOP has requested that the rules for the Oct 2nd VP debates be changed for Sarah. Poor Baby isn't quite up to a REAL debate. You can google this and find quotes from all over the internet but I have chosen to quote the NY Times:

At the insistence of the McCain campaign, the Oct. 2 debate between the Republican nominee for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin, and her Democratic rival, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., will have shorter question-and-answer segments than those for the presidential nominees, the advisers said. There will also be much less opportunity for free-wheeling, direct exchanges between the running mates. McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Ms. Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive.

McCain advisers said they were only somewhat concerned about Ms. Palin’s debating skills compared with those of Mr. Biden, who has served six terms in the Senate, or about his chances of tripping her up. Instead, they say, they wanted Ms. Palin to have opportunities to present Mr. McCain’s positions, rather than spending time talking about her own experience or playing defense.


SERIOUSLY?

Just imagine what the GOP would do with this if we were changing the debate rules for someone on the Dem side...
