TIMEOUT!
HUDDLE UP!
Barack, Joe - over here, quick!
Biden, I need your eyes. Right here. Now.
Biden.
Okay.
Look, fellas - it’s slipping away, everyone knows it.
Barack - it’s like you’ve been channeling fucking Dukakis out there.
Get back on message. Now.
It’s obvious Palin-mania has thrown you guys off your game.
Nope! Stop!
Joe - I don’t want to hear it. Just shut up and listen a second.
No - you haven’t effectively handled Palin, Senator.
Please just quit talking about her altogether. You’re only breaking yourselves and strengthening her! You’re doing everything they wanted you to do. The ‘Lipstick on a Pig’ idea?
What was that? You been taking lines from John Kerry again?
Biden! Eyes up here, now!
Focus on McCain. John McCain. Forget Palin. Forget George Bush.
Biden - Eyes!
Yes - forget George Bush. You heard me. I know, everyone is telling you the only way to win is to tie McCain to Bush and make it “Bush’s third term” and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…
How’s that been going lately?
This election’s not about George Bush - quit talking about him.
Trying to turn Palin into Bush is even less effective.
Step up!
Get back to basics.
Execute on the fundamentals! And have some fun out there!
Alright - get in here you two…Hope on three!
One…two…three…HOPE!
BREAK!
