Coach: A key tactic you'll use is to ignore questions you don't have good answers for. But if you just ignore questions, you'll get called on it. So you first have to announce that you're not going to answer all the questions.

Sarah: You mean I just say "I'm not going to answer all the questions"?

Coach: No, no, not that plainly. It's got to be a bit more subtle. And you have to give a reason for it.

Sarah: And what would be the reason for ignoring questions?

Coach: You say you're doing it to be straight with the American people. That pre-emptively neutralizes the charge that you're doing it to deceive them.

Sarah: Will that work?

Coach: It works all the time. Listen to McCain, listen to Bush, it's one of our most valuable tactics. It's all in the way you say it. You have to sound strong. That makes you sound forthright and honest.

Sarah: But what about the commentators after the debate? Won't they notice?

Coach: Yeah, they'll all see it. But they'll be afraid to really discuss it. They're afraid they'll look partisan. The reality - they're afraid they'll look partisan to their bosses.

Sarah: I guess this is one of those cases where the truth needs a bodyguard of lies.

Coach: Exactly. But don't mention that in the debate.

Sarah: I understand. God works in mysterious ways. On the surface, you wouldn't think God would want you to deceive in a Vice Presidential debate.

Coach: Right, on the surface you wouldn't.

Sarah: But when you know the bigger purpose, when you see the bigger truth, you can see why He would.

Coach: You got it, Sarah.

The difference...

At least Sarah Palin pays her speech writers. As far as Joe Biden goes, Neil Kinnock is still waiting for his check.

There you have it.

The question isnt about Biden borrowing a phrase-its about Palin avoiding the questins with proven bully tactics. But you try and change the subject because it is painfully clear Palin ignored entire questions.
