Faking it: Gail Collins, NYT Editorial Board (Talking in Points) on the real vice-presidential debate Thursday:

This entire election season has been a long-running saga about the rise of women in American politics. On Thursday, it all went sour. The people boosting (Sarah) Palin's triumph were not celebrating because she demonstrated that she is qualified to be president if something ever happened to John McCain. They were cheering her success in covering up her lack of knowledge about the things she would have to deal with if she wound up running the country.

Later:
There are a lot of people in Washington who want to be president but don't want to have to run for President. Plenty that would love to govern and let a flattered Palin be their spokesmodel.

I hope the founding fathers aren't just leering.
