Well the debate wasn't the wipeout us "sneering leftist elite" were hoping for, but polls and reality showed a solid if unimpressive win for Biden.

Still, rightards are trying to spin this by some clever redefinitions of victory.

Planet Janet today said

WITH no gaffes, no 'gotcha' moments and no collapse, the straight-talking Sarah Palin not only survived the debate, she came out a winner.

So according to Janet, because she didn't make a complete fool of herself Palin instantly wins. It wasn't really a debate, just a journey of self discovery for Sarah Palin. All she had to do was prove that she believed in herself and she achieved her own personal victory or some such thing. The rest of the column is a greatest hit garble of all of Janet's usual nonsense, the elite and teh left hating families, victory and happiness. Teh right being all for love, children, sweetness, light and victory in Iraq, all she needed was some feminist bashing and talk of activist judges to fit in all her usual cliches.

Timmeh has fallen further into the Palin delusion by declaring she won the debate because of her superior winking abilities.

WINK WINS ... Still, he can’t beat the wink:

Cute wink i guess, although confusing. Adults usually only wink at other when they are in on a joke or flirting. So is Palin self referencing her ridiculous candidacy or does she want to take America to bed with her? If its the latter, i dont think they will be ready after the 8 year rogering George has given the country.

This is the best video of Palins "im a widdle cutie pie" moments that she used to pad her answers.

Being a slightly ditzy but deadly sidekick to a supervillian, Palin instantly reminds me of Harley Quinn.

And after seeing this video, it is obvious which Batman character John McCain is.

HhhhhhEEEhh. HHHehehheh, plus a hunched back. HE'S THE PENGUIN
