Peep Toe vs. Daily Show

As you all know, Biden and Palin squared off in the Vice Presidential debate last week. Political pundits on every channel were quick to give their neverending opinions on every word and every gesture. All the spin can be enough to send you straight back to your Tivo for reruns of Best Week Ever. Lucky for me my friends provide me with my own fair and balanced coverage of the VP race. Here are examples from two friends of mine (these are real, but I'm keeping them anonymous because I didn't ask them if I could share their thoughts on my blog):

Pro-Palin
Last night's Vice Presidential debate was a watershed moment for both campaigns. The stakes were high and expectations even higher. Senator Biden may have done an excellent job in representing his views and those of the Obama campaign. However, he was no match for the 3 inch high red peep toe shoes. To be fair, I had watched the majority of the debate with the sound off. Since politicians never answer the questions they are asked and spin the truth to meet their needs, my vote will be strictly based on looks. As Americans I think we can all agree, Sarah Palin looked wicked hot in those shoes. The heel height was perfect. It allowed her to express her confident sensuality and conservative predisposition. The American press, in my opinion is beginning to shift its focus to the the things that really make Governor Palin an excellent choice for the Vice Presidency of the United States. In addition to her command of issues such as energy policy and governmental reform, her legs and shoes will show the world that American women can bring home the bacon, cook it up in the pan, and NEVER, EVER let me forget I am a man.

Anti-Palin
There is one thing which does not affect my feelings about Palin, but about voters in general. The fact that people like her because “She’s like me” is the most frightening of all! I do NOT want someone like me in a position like that. For example, I was supposed to be at work at 10 am this morning, but I stayed home to watch The Daily Show in my bathrobe and then talked to my sister for 30 minutes. I was 1 ½ hours late because I wanted to watch TV. I want someone WAY better than me for the VP!!

I agree that watching SP with the sound all the way off is the only acceptable way to watch.
