Debating the Vice Debate

I made a transcript of Palin's answers from the Vice Presidential Debate tonight. Here it is:

Question: Blah, blah, blah Economy?
Answer: No Problem, Blah, blah, blah Alaska.

Question: Blah, blah, blah Foreign Policy?
Answer: Blah, blah Governor of an energy-producing state, blah, blah Alaska.

Question: Blah, blah, blah your weaknesses?
Answer: None. Blah, blah, blah executive experience, blah Alaska.

Hey there gal, you aren't running for Vice President of Alaska! What about the other 99.97 percent of Americans? Have you thought about us? I find her point of view irritating. While it is fine for her current job, it seems completely out of whack for somebody trying to become a representative for the entire nation.

Here are other assorted observations:

• Palin showed complete disregard for the moderator's questions. She clearly has a degree from the George W. Bush school of debate. The fundamental principle of that school is "Say what you like, regardless of the question."
• When asked about the causes of global warming she said she didn't want to talk about the causes, but then said the solution was cleaning up the planet and reducing pollution. I guess that means she thinks global warming is caused by humans after all. Just say it.
• She is pointedly informal, and makes self deprecating remarks about her scant experience. The only case she makes for her qualification is basically that she has common sense. If George W. Bush has taught us anything, it is that any old dumbass can be president, but that dumbass presidents suck. Please, no more unqualified applicants for this position.
