No comedy

Me a few days ago, responding to Ambers:

BTW: A helluva week for Sarah Palin to debate, huh?

Omigosh! Not just Sarah, but Biden! This debate and its aftermath will be comedy gold.

I was dead wrong about that; no comedy whatsoever -- unless you count chirpy ramblings, but I was not amused.

UPDATE: Wilkinson has the comedy. Great stuff!


Rich Lowry:

I'm sure I'm not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, "Hey, I think she just winked at me." And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew she was doing well, it was so sparkling it was almost mesmerizing. It sent little starbursts through the screen and ricocheting around the living rooms of America. This is a quality that can't be learned; it's either something you have or you don't, and man, she's got it.

Actual quote.
