... so I can post about something else today, damn it.
From here, a quote from Governor Palin's interview with Katie Couric:
COURIC: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?
PALIN: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie--that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.
COURIC: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.
PALIN: He's also known as the maverick though. Taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about--the need to reform government.
COURIC: I'm just going to ask you one more time, not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation?
PALIN: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.
... yeah, you do that.
EDIT: And now there's this: "Okay, so you're against postponing the presidential debate? What do you think about postponing the vice-presidential debates? Would that be okay?"
Well, speaking for myself, considering Palin has nothing to do with dealing with the bailout and Biden would probably pass on postponing the debates, and therefore this seems like yet another attempt by the McCain/Palin camp to save Palin from public humiliation ... no. Get stuffed. And while you're at it, figure out why the hell a woman who has a Bachelors of Science in communication-journalism can't fucking talk to reporters.

argh!
Because, okay! He can pretend he's all about doing his senatorial duties during this time, but why on earth suspend the VP debates?? Is he worried that he'll need Biden on the floor of the senate?? I DOUBT IT. What a tool. Seriously.
