I was expecting some Palin howlers, but she stuck pretty closely to her talking points and avoided big bloopers. (And thank god, otherwise, we´d hear them on continuous loop on all mainstream media for days).
Actually the only real outrageous howler came from Biden, when he declared that "the French had driven Hizbollah from Lebanon". Gee, someone should tell the French, the Lebanese, and Hizobollah about that. Of course, don´t hold your breath for any replay of that on CNN or MSNBC. Biden is not Palin. Different rules apply.

You can be sure that whatever the infidel American missiles hit, will be a building exclusively populated by cute little babies and totally innocent civilians. The Taleban have learnt how to play the gullible Western media from their Hamas and Mizbollah friends.

Traced where? The scammers open bank accounts with fake names. That is course where this scam should addressed. And not by putting lots Inspector Closeaus next to ATMs.

Not an accusation, a statement of fact. Even lawyers living in caves should know the difference.
"Piracy along Somalia’s long, unpatrolled coastline on the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden started years ago as an effort to deter foreign fishing boats depleting the country’s maritime resources."
....groan!

She is not running for commander in chief. What is this continuous drum-beat about.... a subliminal message that McCain is going to drop dead in the near future? That is borderline bizarre.
I have never heard anything like this in a US prez campaign before, has any one else? A tad tasteless, too.

When is the last time you asked a date to show you an ID? If she looked 18, why would he doubt it, especially if he was horny enough?

Classic! We could have told them. What a ridiculous symbolic exercise.

What a start in life for the little munchkin... being abandoned in a manga kissa toilet. And here I am, slaving away to create a nice childhood for my kids. Makes you wonder about karma.

The Japanese dating websites that I have seen have a clear warning that they are off limits under 18. So how is the guy even supposed to know she was 14 unless she told him? Seems to me the JT lynchmob is too fast with their judgements this time.

I am cracking up. Is there a limit to the length the mainstream media will go to whitewash jihadist terrorism?
Counting the days the til the Russians get there.

The moderator has a book on Obamas presidency coming out. It is naive to assume that she has not slipped Biden a copy of her questions to him so that he can prepare and look good. Look forward to a very one-sided contest.

This will blow up in their face. Fat chance that the Shiite government will tolerate the Sunni "sons of Iraq" running around with weapons. Welcome back, Al Quaida.

I wouldn´t call enjou-kosei a "relationship". And I am in split mind about the guilt of the guy. Some of the 14-year old students who walk passed my house in their micromini school uniforms look pretty adult to me. Did she tell him she was 14? Article doesn´t say.
