Wouldn’t it be awesome if Palin opened with something like this, “Thank you Gwenn, it’s an honor to be here. And before I begin I’d like to remind the American public that you have a book coming out in inauguration day. Isn’t that book titled, The Age of Obama? Anyway, I’m looking forward to your really unbiased debate moderating.”

[Nick Thimmesch]

What gets me is how Gwen gets to spin — oh, as a heroine — that she was “carrying research related to her moderating duties at Thursday’s Vice Presidential debate in St. Louis, when she took a wrong step”.

Barf.

Please God. Let nobody change the venue for this debate. Sarah simply MUST challenge her moderator and constantly address OBAMA as “your friend” and your “candidate”. This is a slam-dunk for SARAH.. YAHOO!!

[BamaDi]

I e-mailed the address Michelle Malkin put in her column and expressed my outrage at the bias and partisianship being displayed by the organizers of the debate. I told them that in fairness to all voters (not just Republicans) she needs to be replaced immediately or full disclosure needs to be given at the beginning of the debate with regards to her book. Wonder if they’ll even respond?

and that, as they say, would be that....

Nah, not "Sarah" enough. She'd say something like:

"Before I answer that, Gwenn, I'd like to thank the Presidential Debate Committee and Washington University for hosting this debate, and you, Gwenn, for moderating. I understand you have book due out next January, so best of luck with that project. What was the title?"

That was my line from an earlier thread! You added to it and it does sound better.

About Gwen: I wish her a rapid recovery.

I shattered my left ankle ski racing. It took almost 5 hours of surgery to stabilize everything, install a plate, 10 screws and finish off with 34 stitches. A second surgery was necessary to remove the plate and the screws. I was out of racing for about 2 years!

As much as I disagree with her, I could never wish this on anyone!

The TV coverage should be required to put this in a banner under Ifill whenever she’s pictured and speaking.

That’s just about the same suggestion I made from Gov. Palin last night.

And she should say, “Go to the McCain-Palin website where we have
a link to the amazon.com website for pre-ordering Ms. Ifill’s
loving homage to Barrack Hussein Obama.”

(Yep, it’s already listed at amazon.com for pre-ordering)
