LOL - you don't know me at all my friend...... I think you would be shocked by my moral standards, I just don't believe in the Bible. I DO believe in a happy wife though....... DD
Serious question for Palin supporters...do you not care that she basically told the moderator "I'm not going to answer your questions" and went on her own path? Did both parties not agree to the debate format? I found that to be very disrespectful. I don't think it will make much of a difference....just saying how much more in your face disrespectful can one be than to say I'm going to ignore the question at hand and talk about what I want.
That's a pretty bigoted naive remark though, from a different era, about a different topic entirely. Seriously... a movie critic?

His first paragraph: [rquoter] I have some observations about what we observed Thursday night. They are not political. They involve such matters as body language, facial expression and vocal tone. These are legitimate subjects for a film critic. As Patrick Goldstein wrote recently in the Los Angeles Times: "In some ways film critics are probably better equipped to assess the political theater of today's presidential campaigns, since our campaigns are -- as has surely been obvious for some time -- far more about theater and image creation than politics." I would like to discuss the vice presidential debate as theater. [/rquoter] http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2008/10/you_didnt_ask_me_about_the_deb.html And that particular quote from above should be read in context: [rquoter] Yes, she wins high marks for emerging from the debate still standing and still smiling. Polls show that she performed better than a great majority of viewers thought she would. My concern here is not with the substance of which either candidate said; that would be political. My concern is with the performances. Watching the debate, I was reminded of an observation by Dr. Samuel Johnson, the great 18th century English critic, about an unrelated subject: "It is not done well, but one is surprised to find it done at all." [/rquoter] Ebert apparently rewrote that portion, to make clear his intention was not to compare Palin to a dog. He responded to a comment in this way: [rquoter] Ebert: Of course it does. Johnson lived in a society that was cruelly sexist. I quoted his remark for its use of, "It is not done well, but one is surprised to find it done at all." I thought that said it all. I was not for a moment comparing Gov. Palin to a dog. To avoid that implication, I have rewritten the sentence remove the context of the remark. I should have known better, in this time of "lipstick" literalism. [/rquoter]
