Pre-Palin-Biden-Debate

Governor Palin should not be allowed to be condescending.
She has already given condescending a new meaning. Well...maybe it is the old meaning.
Maybe it is the full meaning of irony, she gives out.
Lowering the bar, to be above it all.
[POST DEBATE COMMENT:
Governor Palin clearly hit the hockey puck out of the park*.
Senator Biden clearly kept it on ice and scored the goals.
Debate winner: Biden
Of course my expectations were met.** Palin clearly could not be as uninformed and goofy as she portrays herself. She is still wrong and uninformed but had a wonderful performance. She performed well above the bar she had so casually stomped on. Biden held to his promise and avoided being condescending, while Palin raised condescension to almost a snottiness mixed with the matronly scolding of an errant child.]
[Early Polls: Independents
Biden won, little game change.
Secondary winner? The media. They survived her bashing. Meaning that the debate did not change the composite picture the people have.] Belittle. The word used in post debate comment on MSNBC, that is the word for the condescension.
The debate may have halted Palin's drag on the ticket, it just won't drag it in the right direction.
** I am relieved that Palin was not worse than she has been shown to be, and that Biden was not cowed by her tactics.
* this asterisk inserted much later to include a just found reference to park and
