Seriously, the whole time I was watching Sarah Palin's "cutesy" folksy performance, I couldn't get this out of my head:
My final analysis is that women are not going to like Sarah Palin's performance. She will remind them of every woman who has ever hit on their boyfriend or husband at a party. Too cute by half.
The pundits will make the same mistake they did with the Obama/McCain debate. They will miss what the public gets. Joe Biden was reassuring and made you feel safe. Palin made you want to tear your hair out and run screaming from the room.
On the Titanic, Joe Biden would lead you to the lifeboats. Sarah Palin would be screaming in hysterics on the deck. I wanted to slap her.
And, yes, Shirley Temple got on my nerves, too. I preferred the Little Rascals.
