9:00 Katie Couric stumbles over the second word she says to the camera, and then the cameraman seems to panic with a random zoom. Everyone's already freaking out about this!
9:02 Ifill: I have instructed the crowd to STFU.
9:02 SP right out of the gate: HAY can I call you Joe!! OK.
9:03 JB: I love you all.
9:04 Seriousy, HDTV. I can see Biden's individual eyelashes. How long will it take for video games to pick up on this?
9:05 SP Tee hee! soccer! Well, she doesn't sound like a moon unit any more but she looks petrified.
9:07 SP: U-S-A! OMG they have an entire team of mavericks now?
9:09 SP: "Americans are craving something new and different!" John McCain is not a Swanson family chicken dinner, dude
9:10 SP: Americans are only joe sixpacks and hockeymoms. Everyone else is evil corrupt predatory rargh. Well, there's your populist card played.
9:11 JB: Mostly talking about McCain, too. They're both talking about McCain. Joe! It's a trap!!
9:12 JB: Mentioned how he talked to a gas station guy about the price of gad, and then mumbled about middle-class tax relief at the end. Dude, focus! SP is setting up a softball for you to whack out of the park now...
9:12 JB: Obama didn't raise taxes like that! It was John McCain! John McCain!! I don't like how this is going
9:14 SP: Oh snap, she just started out by saying (paraphrase) "I know I'm gonna get moderated down for this, but..." geezus
9:15 Ifill: Your time is up. SP: ok
9:16 JB: OK, finally talking about Middle Class. Nooo! He's talking about McC again! And how he'll tax all up ins the MC but srsly dude
9:17 Wow, apparently under the Obama plan, tax law will be changed so that businesses will be treated as individuals! Well shit!
9:19 JB: Uh OK it's not communism to tax the rich guys. And then he whacks down the business/individuals confusion, though he coulda done it harder.
9:21 Oh DUDE he's been waiting to spring that "bridge to nowhere" line. I bet he's gonna be a lot looser now that he's unloaded it.
9:25 OMG BIDEN JUST SAID "I AGREE WITH THE GOVERNOR" IT'S ALL OVER
9:27 Now Ifill is saying "John McCain" a lot. I have to laugh.
9:28 JB: Obama foresaw the mortgage crisis! Meanwhile, johnmccainjohnmccainjohnmccain
9:29 SP: "East coast politicians" are friends of FOREIGN COUNTRIES. Who SELL US OIL and HATE US.
9:31 SP: Yes, we must have other nations follow America's example in the fight against climate change! Okay Also apparently there's no proof that global warming is from humans, but we should still lessen CO2 in the atmosphere, for some other reason I guess
9:34 Hahaha! JB mockingly said "Drill drill drill" and SP corrected him. "The chant is Drill baby drill." Awesum.
9:36 I predict many interweb jokes about how SP supports drilling even in the case of outer continental shelf rape or incest.
9:36 Ha ha! Joe should say "Obamabiden" more. I did not know he's 100 percent for same-sex marriage.
9:37 SP: Hey, you can totally be gay if you want. I won't pass laws against you visiting your gay buddy in the hospital! OK.
9:38 Wait, what? OK, he doesn't support same-sex marriage, but... I'm not sure what actually. Duhr OK. Ifill: OK! You agree! Audience: LOL?
9:41 I have to say that this debate is anything but the complete trainwreck that "everyone" was expecting / hoping for. Sorry everyone.
9:42 SP: On iraq, "Um... [seconds pass] Your plan is a white flag of surrender." Joe, m'man, you can't let that stand plz. "Also how can you leave your own son in the national guard while Obama is voting to cut all funding to the military, huh??" eech
9:44 JB: johnmccainjohnmccainjohnmccain. Sigh...
9:45 JB: PAKISTAN! GRR ARGGH I don't hear much about the obamabiden ticket's insistence that Pakistan is a sleeping dragon of some sort, but here it is again.
9:47 I'll say it again. "nucular" is an acceptable pronounciation. The "bush in a skirt" meme-spreaders are high-fiving each other now though.
9:49 SP repeats the McC line that talking to national leaders at all means that you approve of all of their national policies. JB is smacking this around as he should. This is the first time this is sounding just like last Friday, actually.
9:51 JB "He wouldn't sit down with Spainnnnuh." oof
9:52 SP name-checking the Holocaust again, just like McC did. Whee
9:52 JB has third-personed himself at least a couple times tonight. Look for his SNL doppelganger to do it about 57 times.
9:54 This is whetting my appetite for the pres candidates to talk about Isreal/Palestine next week.
9:54. WHOA, JB just made some kind of reptilian hissing noise like the Gorn at Palin. what KIRK I WILL GIVE YOU A QUICK DEATH
9:55 I await the dance remix of "I can't tell how his policy on ____ is different from georgebushiz!" x 10 Actually is this the first time anyone's mentioned G. Bush by name in this whole debate cycle? Just a lot of "this administration".
9:59 Heh heh... when Biden sees the time-up light flashing he stops attacking McCain and then compliments Obama. Oh there he goes on McC again OK.
10:01 Yeah we're back to using John McCain as the frame for everything going on across the whole globe. I'm going to take a little break here.
10:03 SP invokes John Kerry, and then talks again about how Americans are craving John McCain and his 11 herbs and spices. mmmmm. This is as goofy as she's getting, though. Sorry everyone.
10:06 Joe says MCCAIN SUX for three minutes, and then Palin did a funny little dance to pause for words before delivering NO WAI MCCAIN RULZ. This is getting boring yo
10:08 On "What would you do if the prez died or sumthin" Joe says: we must get away from premptive war and towards prevention and cooperation. Palin says: ANWAR! Also, destroy the evil east-coast snooty-snoot plutocrats!
10:10 Joe is talking about gas station attendants again.
10:11 OK, Palin's waiting-to-spring-it-line was "Say it aint so, Joe!" Uh-huh. And now she's imitating Tina Fey imitating her going "Pew pew pew!" i guess
10:13 Ifill extends extra credit to ALL CHILDREN
10:13 SP: LOL! IT WAS A JOKE ^_^ The audience is getting punchy now.
10:17 Joe is ripping into Cheney now. I am not sure why.
10:18 SP sounds like she's delivering her closing remarks a little early. I am awesome and experienced and etc and America is numba 1!!
10:20 Joe Biden will be a great VP because of johnmccainjohnmccain. What the - he seems to be claiming sexism against himself now. Wha? (Edit: Reading other blogs, I see now that this was part of a reference to a family tragedy in his past, and his getting slightly upset at Palin's statement that she's qualified because she's a mom, implying that he's less qualified because - what, he's a dad?)
10:25 Sorry, I'm fading on this. I really am looking forward to the final debate now, I'll tell you that much.
10:28 SP: You will either vote for the pro-job ticket or the KILL JOB ticket.
10:29 SP: Oh yeah and the media is an evil liberal east-coast filter and y'all may go back to ignoring it now. kthxbi
10:32 Joe's got the stronger close, but the righty bloggies are gonna be analyzing what he meant by "Selfishly, may god bless the troops" at the end, which was a little random actually.
OK all done.
9:02 Ifill: I have instructed the crowd to STFU.
9:02 SP right out of the gate: HAY can I call you Joe!! OK.
9:03 JB: I love you all.
