i don’t get it. the democratic party is 99.99% as bad as the republican party. why aren’t we allowed to criticize democrats?

[...] Sadly, No! » Mark Hemingway: Too Big To Fail: this election is like a Phil Dick/Thomas Pynchon/Franz Kafka collaboration novel re-written for the small screen by the Monty Python cast and then reassembled with a completely random page order. [...]

Go up a thread. There’s one dedicated to the debate.

It worked for Obama in an early CBS poll:

Forty-six percent of uncommitted voters said their opinion of Obama got better tonight.

This debate wasn't for people who have made up their mind. So in that sense, I think it was quite successful.

Am I the only one who has had so much good red wine tonight that the very air tastes sweet again? Or am I just giddy from the obvious discombobulation effect that Obama had on McSame? Ah, the wine. That good ol’ Columbian red. Er, no, I mean, the Australian red. Shiraz. Wine. Why is my cat looking at me?

Ok, I have had too much to drink. Bill Maher is talking about the debate with Chris Rock (of course, it could be like the WSJ ad about how McCain won the debate 12 hours before it occurred).

Lesley — the SNL redo of the VP debate is bound to be a comedown from the comedic value of the actual debate (although I await with bated breath Tina Fey’s rendition of the same; I shall be all agiggle).

Hmm, I’ve heard others say “pomposity and egocentrism” about KO, but I don’t see it that way. Maybe because it was so good, early on, to see someone upset about the same things I was getting upset about.

Dude, hi-def. He looked nervous and bad.

Fantastic? He looked almost as bad as Nixon.

Even with his $5000 makeup job?

I am just going to watch Bill Maher. I wish it was relatively live and had his comments on the debate

Biden’s on CNN, calling McCain a loser. I love it.

McCain was authoritative, intelligent, witty

Laughing at your own jokes doesn’t count as “witty”.

I’m watching Countdown now. Olberman, for all his pomposity and egocentrism, looks like he’s got a good lineup.

Oh, poor Truthy, he was watching Bizzaro Channel.

On my tv, McCain looked like someone struggling to prevent veins from leaping out of his face like demented killer snakes.
