Correction

Yesterday I said that McCain was asked about seeking advice from Palin on energy. Thanks to a caller on NPR (who made the same point that I did), the question was not about energy but foreign policy. Also, the caller said that McCain met Palin twice before choosing her, not once.

My points still stand: do we really believe that McCain sought advice "many times" from an obscure governor in Alaska on foreign policy? And what exactly did he mean by "in the past" since she's only been his running mate for less than two months? I can understand if an infant thought two months was "in the past," but not a man in his 70's. Doesn't he have a longer view than that?


Tonight is the debate between Palin and Biden. I will watch, then I will go out drinking. I'm sure I will need a few cocktails to ease the pain. If that doesn't work, I'll click over to nbc.com again and watch the Tina Fey skits: the one with Clinton, and the one where she's being interviewed by Katie Couric. Top notch work by Fey in both.
