Perhaps that is because there is SUPPOSED to be a debate tonight. Apparently McCain doesn’t feel he can multitask. The good news is that Obama plans to attend either way and if Old Man Caruthers still is feeling squeemish, there will be a town hall session for Obama.

This seems like a terrible move on McCain’s part, especially when Palin is running around giving national news interviews and sounding like a total idiot.

Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?

Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.

You can’t make this stuff up, people. Read the transcript and view the interview.

And finally, remember when Matt Damon said, “It’s like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom from Alaska… is the president. She’s facing down Vladmir Putin using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It’s absurd.”

Now we can see what that movie might actually be like. I’m not a big Matt Damon fan and I’m not sure why he was being asked to speak about this at all, but his interview was truly what everyone has been thinking since she was picked to be the Republican nom. for VP. Well maybe not everyone, but I’m the only one who counts, right?
