And now for something completely unexpected

The headlines after the VP debate will be on the scale of historic perspective as "Dewey Defeats Truman."

The liberal press will have to eat crow:

THE NEW YORK TIMES: "A BRIGHTER SHADE OF PALIN!"

THE WASHINGTON POST: "SARA-CUDA WAS A SHARK!" Republicans can exhale now

The conservative news organizations will strut:

FOX NEWS: "We thought we were right about everything. Now we're sure."

THE NEW YORK POST (whether Palin succeeds or fails): "SAR-RAH! RAH! RAH!"

That's right. Sarah Palin trounces Joe Biden in tonight's debate. It could happen. We are living in a time when we can expect the unexpected. When the know-it-all elitists are proven wrong. The Cubs will win the World Series. Leaders of Congress will show their spine and lead us out of this economic mine-field. President Bush will complete a sentence. Every reality-TV show will be cancelled. Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and Jim Carrey will be banned from making movies because the public will finally realize their films are all the same. There will be fewer male bashing TV commercials -- only about 75 percent. Lawyers will be placed on the endangered species list. And "Who let the Dogs out" will replace the national anthem.

Palin wins tonight's debate because of her charm, her middle-class values and her down-to-earth nature. She'll connect and communicate -- even with answers like the following:

Palin's opening statement: "Hello America! First I want to thank our moderator Gwen Ifill: Hi, Gwen, how's the book about Barack coming along? Secondly, I want to say to all the Jewish voters out there, I hope you had a nice Rush Hour. I'm not here to silence my critics as much as I am to silence Joe Biden. Remember, Joe, gaffe and the world gaffe's with you. I'm prepared to be vice president because I put my country first. I don't need to read a lot of newspapers because they're always filled with bad news. And don't we have enough bad news? And Barack Obama is a ton of bad news. John McCain will stand tall on the world stage. Barackwants to sit down with our enemies on the world stage. And though he'll be more comfortable because he's sitting down -- he'll look the same height as our enemies and that will make him look, ya know, small. And Barack Obama is like the college professor who gave you homework over spring break.He keeps trying to educate the public. Well, the public I knowain't dumb. They don't need to be reminded of history -- that's what HBO is for. Ya know, "The John Adams Show."

Palin's closing statement: "I'm the new energy. I'm the new face. And I'm cute -- OK, I admit it. Babies are cute. Puppies, too. America loves cute. And John McCain and I are gonna reform Washington's special interest groups who have made America all wrinkly and threatened our national cuteness. Let's do it for all the babies -- whose lives begin at conception -- and even those puppies out there. America is a family portrait on Christmas morning. That's how John McCain and I see her. And I gotta tell ya, when the camera is snapped, we'll get it right on the first take because we won't blink."

Biden doesn't stand a chance. Is it because he's not expecting the unexpected? You betcha!
