Considered Seppaku Barry?

Bad time for a flat tire

“ It’s a fact: you can’t just keep up with the gaffes these days. Joe Biden intimates that Sarah Palin should be more supportive of stem cell research because of her Down’s Syndrome child. Barack Obama commits a meta-gaffe — “lipstick on a pig” – intentionally or unintentionally suggesting that one of his opponents is the pig and the other the cosmetic accent. The big mistake comes on top of an ongoing problem with his tone regarding the GOP vice-presidential nominee: he continually refers to Palin as a mother, an up-and-coming talent, or any number of variations on the theme, all displaying condescending irritation, particularly from someone of his relatively limited experience. ... continued ” What's struck me since Palin, is that presidential candidate Obama has been obsessed with responding to McCain's vice-president lady. On ABC’s This Week program, Obama laughed off the idea that Sarah Palin has more national security experience than he does. She was able to point out that Obama has never convened his own subcommittee on European Affairs.  Point:Palin.  Obama's damned lucky he's about to begin a series of debates with McCain, and not Palin.  She'd chew him to pieces.  Hell, I suspect McCain will too.
