Continuing in the vein of my comments on the Presidential debate, I will cast my remarks on the Vice-Presidential debate in terms of what Joe Biden should have said.  I will write it as the Biden part of a script.

Biden:

It is well known in executive circles that the best way to judge a person’s future performance is to look at how they have behaved in the past under similar circumstances. This is why we keep looking at McCain’s record in the past 8 years. Apparently Governor Palin also recognizes this principle because she frequently refers to what she thinks is Senator Obama’s past behavior.

I leave it to the voters to decide whether their own experience of the history of McCain’s support of this administration matches what I have said here tonight.If you cannot tell whose recitation of past history is more accurate, Governor Palin’s or mine, then I suggest you do some independent research from neutral sources.

Oddly enough, I can’t think of anything else at the moment that Biden should have said differently.  What do you think?

Follow this link to the interview of Robert Baer by Terry Gross.

I learned about this from an email from DebbyG. The following is what Debby emailed:

I just heard part of an amazing interview on NPR; Terry Gross interviewing Robert Baer, a former CIA agent who had some extremely interesting things to say about Iran.

I would recommend downloading a podcast of the inteview if you haven’t heard it.

After listening to the interview, I am going to check out his new book –  “The Devil we Know”.

After listening to the interview, I have to wholeheartedly agree with Debby’s assessment.

Follow this link to the article in The Nation that describes McCain’s and his campaign’s advisors’ links to Russia and the maneuverings in the Balkans.

It’s a good thing that Sarah Palin has her eyes focused on the skies over Alaska.  That way she won’t see the Russians coming into JFK Airport in New York.

This little saga is worthy of being turned into a John LeCarré spy novel.

Here is Hollywood telling you not to vote.  (Rated R for some offensive language)
