The Lion and Gun

Okay, so I actually do think it's important that a would-be President know more landmark Supreme Court cases than Roe v. Wade, and that she know more about Roe v. Wade than its name and that it has something to do with abortion. And, contrary to what is implied in the email Malkin quotes in this piece, Couric did ask Biden which Supreme Court decisions he disagreed with. But I think Malkin is essentially right when she says that if Palin doesn't know something she's asked about tonight it'd be in her interests just to 'fess up and move retreat to vague talking points, instead of trying to gussy up vague talking points like they're real answers. (Which newspapers and magazines specifically? All of them! Specifically.)

Of course, that would force a change in my plan to turn tonight's debate into a drinking game. On the upside, I might wake up tomorrow without a hangover.

Update: One-time Wonkette Ana Marie Cox has some suggestions for my drinking game.
