Oh, Palin, You're CRAFTY!

At the opening of last night's debate, Sarah "insert some folksy cliche here " Palin shook Biden's hand and benignly asked "Hey, can I call you Joe?"
Polite ice-breaker?
NAY! A calculated effort to make sure that one of her "zingers" would fly true.

For not too long after, she was actually able to say with her characteristic "I totally didn't write this down earlier, I totally thought of this off the cuff just now, Real American People" panache:
"Say it ain't so, Joe!" and then in the same sentence said "Doggoneit". I don't even know how to spell that because I don't talk like a goddamned home-schooled spelling bee champ.

I'm about halfway through the transcript. I couldn't watch last night because I had a show, and, truthfully, I CANNOT listen to that woman speak. Her accent is like biting down on tinfoil.
But, here are some observations so far:

I've got 2 instances of "Darn right", 1 "Heck", 3 Americana-y phrases ie and I shit you not: "Bless their hearts", and oh my god ANOTHER zinger "Joe Six Pack".

My BODY hurts.

If I were Joe Biden and she asked me if she could call me Joe, I would have answered, "You can call me Mr. Vice President."
