I recently interviewed Sarah Palin. Here’s how it went.
Me: What day is it today?
Sarah Palin: There are 7 days in a week. There are many days. We could choose from many different days.
Me: Yes, but what day is today?
Sarah Palin: Today could be one of 7 days. And I have a great appreciation for how beautifully the week is set up. I mean, our question might even be rephrased to ask if we haven’t lost sight of the bigger picture, where the day is just a small part of what constitutes a week, which would be yet another part of what is known as the month.
Me: I just want to know what day it is, specifically.
Sarah Palin: Any and all of them that have come and gone. I have always been comfortable with any and all of them. My point, however, is that it all comes back to the year. I am someone who believes that the voiceless can count on me to represent the calendar in an unbiased way, from within one of the highest offices of government. After all, I have always made myself clear, and I am not apologetic about who I am. There are 30 days in a month and 52 weeks in a year. I was born in the 20th century, and this might already be the 21st , who knows? Here, our sense of the space-time continuum has come to be challenged by those who insist they must know what day of the week we are presently at. And I think it needs to be addressed in concrete terms for the good of the American people. Thank you.

Date: 2008-10-02 09:01 pm (UTC)Last week was so totally *yawn*. I told my Dad while we were watching that I knew what they were going to say so I was going to bed and he was all like, "You *know* what they're going to say? How?" Uh... because they're pre-programmed to say what they're going to say and stick to their guns. They both NEVER deviate from that. Ever.
However Biden and Palin are just simply no match for each other. It's like my cat Winston debating Winston Churchill. It's just not even remotely in the same realm of being on an even playing field.
