Watch again how she robotically mustered her way back into the spotlight with her canned "maverick" nonsense after Biden displayed some real emotion:

Biden's strongest moment and Palin's weakest moment last night. She came off as an oblivious bitch.

No, she connected, at least in part.

Oh please!  Palin may be green, but she is hardly a bitch.

She just didn't deviate at all from her scripts.
I wouldn't call that green.

Green means inexperienced in Old English. Tongue

Thank you, Torie.  Palin was exceedingly gracious the whole night.  I liked her even more than I did before, though I still prefer Biden and think he won.  She's plucky, warm and seems like a very kind person, one on one.  I really thought there was some genuine warmth there as the Biden and Palin families mixed on stage, too.  It was all ice, both ways, when the Obamas and McCains interacted.

I am sick of hearing that word, too.  I didn't like it when people used it about Senator Clinton and I don't like to hear it associated with Governor Palin.

Very well pointed out. Surely shows how emotionless Palin is with her prepared speeches. Funny how it escaped my attention when I was watching the debate live !

Thanks, but living in English-speaking countries for 6 years taught me at least this much. Wink
Would you describe not deviating from your script as being inexperienced? But you are right, I wouldn't call her a bitch because of that.
