“My impression is that if Senator Biden tries an early sucker punch, he will bring back a bloody stump. But what do I know?”
Gail Collins wrote an op-ed article in the NYT, dated Aug 30th.2008, titled:”McCain’s Baked Alaska”

As usual, coming from the NYT, it is pretty much a hit piece. She mentions that Palin is “reminicent of a Dan Quayle selection”, and then in the FINAL paragraph writes:
“If she’s only on the ticket to try to get disaffected Clinton supporters to cross over, it’s a bad choice. Joe Biden may already be practicing his drop-dead line for the vice-presidential debate: “I know Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a friend of mine, and governor, you’re no Hillary Clinton.” .
End of Article.
Well, on the “Hillary is 44” blog (that I have referenced twice earlier in the thread), they mentioned Gail’s column with the last paragraph verbage about Biden (plagerizing as is his usual M.O.) pulling this line against Palin.
Well, on the website, the Hillary supporters came up with some comebacks, and IMHO, should be sent to the McCain-Palin camp to work on ASAP, because I believe Biden will think it’s a very smart-a$$ line he thinks he can slam Palin with, when the opening arises, and get the same results as when it was used on Dan Quale in the infamous 1988 VP Debate.
Here are a couple of the comebacks they sugested tha Palin use:
Biden: “I know Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a friend of mine, and governor, you’re no Hillary Clinton.”
to which Sarah could reply:
Palin: “If you wanted Hillary, you should have nominated her.”
That one was...OK.
I like this one best!!...quote from the website:
“Best retort from Palin for any Dem who states to her that she’s no Hillary…is for her to say (for instance to Biden or any other surrogate) “:
“With all due respect, sir (madam)..you are no Hillary Clinton either.”
...with this last line added:
“Back atcha bud!!”
End quote.
Not only would that last comeback line be IMHO, THE BEST COMEBACK, it would slam “Plugs” as being the “second best pick because Obama picked him over the “much-more-qualified-and should-have-been-top-of-the-2008-dem-ticket” Hillary Clinton, but it also again shows and gives MAJOR respect to Hillary like she did in her Ohio speech.
...and what do you think that line would do to any of the still steadfast Hillary supporters watching Sarah on NATIONAL TV (with ALL of them watching with the hope that Biden “goofs-up” in some way durring the debate), and THAT COMEBACK LINE ends up DESTROYING “Plugs”, Obama, the DNC AND the Obama MSM enablers who dissed her so badly, with THAT ONE QUICK AND WELL DELIVERED REPLY if Biden tries it??
That line, delivered by Sarah on NATIONAL TV, would AGAIN be reminding Hillary’s very hard working 2008 supporters, the Obamabots,all dem voters, AND big smart-mouthed Biden that HE was NOT the best choice the dems could have put in the VP slot, let alone the POTUS position, where Hillary could have possibly been the most qualified of ALL the dem 2008 POTUS or VPOTUS candidates, and the most likely pick to help the dems in either position to attempt a dem 2008 election victory.
Again, IMHO, if Sarah prepares for this very possible line from Biden for their VP debate, and can comeback at him with the second reply in a “Sarah the Barracuda” style delivery to the “good ol’boy”, aka: “Plugs The Babysitter”.......
...well let’s just say I’ll be awaiting that first “Sunday Morning Talk Show Thread” after the VP debate SO MUCH, that I’ll write Santa in early October, and tell him to skip my house because I’ve already received what I wanted for Christmas 2008.
Thank God!
I have no doubt she will handle Biden with several body slams and let the DBM run him over with their bus when it's all over.
She is a formidable candidate with a huge army of conservative supporters behind her and it all happened in less than 48 hours!!Unheard of and yet steamrolling right along.!Hurricane Sarah cat 5!!
