Some arguments in favor of delaying the Veep Debate

John McCain's decision yesterday to suspend his presidential campaign and his request to possibly hold the first of three presidential debates on the night originally scheduled for the sole vice-presidential debate has set gossip-addicts on both sides of the political spectrum afire with examples of how McCain and Obama might sleep easier at night knowing their respective running mates would never have to make it through a 90-minute debate without putting their foot in their mouth.

For your consideration, a few examples:


1. Katie Couric and Sarah Palin discuss John McCain's record as a deregulator...sort of.



2. Palin cites Russia's plans for an air invasion from the Bering Strait




3. Joe Biden dusts off a two-fer in the gaffe department when he explains to Katie Couric how FDR went on TV to console the nation when the stock market crashed in 1929




4. Joe Biden invites wheelchair-bound state senator Chuck Graham to stand up and be recognized

Biden's mistakes are funny, Palin's are just embarrassing.

Its both shocking, and embarrassing, that both of the VP nominees are that out of touch. Granted, there are bound to be screw ups in an interview or a speech, but Palin is almost insistant on sounding like an idiot, and Biden constantly puts his foot in his mouth. Telling Senator Graham to repeatedly stand up and be recognized was incredibly insulting. It was also hysterical, but only in a sick way. I will give them both some credit though, while they might have some judgemental problems, they are both entertainging as hell to watch.
