Debate Drunkblogging -- The Wrap
Posted by Stephen Green · 15 November 2007
If you don't want to read through my entire drunkblog to get to my mini wrap-up at the end, here it is: Ultra-quick wrap-up: Lots of fireworks, yet still the worst debate I've seen all season. The blame rests squarely with CNN. They ran a bad debate on a bad stage with stupid questions from insipid people in a format that was neither fish nor fowl but spoiled meat nonetheless. Horrible, even by the low standards set by Fox News and MSNBC. Horrible, horrible. I want my two hours back, but I'm keeping the martinis in my gullet. Man, that sucked. Comments
If it makes you feel any better, the final episode (rerun) of "Twin Peaks" on Chiller was just as lousy tonight as when it was first aired. Not as bad as what *you* watched, of course, but still pretty darn bad. "Black Lodge" my hiney... Posted by: Will Collier at November 15, 2007 08:19 PMSpot on. I'm disappointed I allowed myself to be sucked in to watching such crap. The only thing that saved me was the alcohol (copious amounts of beer here). Posted by: steveegg at November 15, 2007 08:33 PMI was out telling ghost stories to tourists tonight. Much more believable and entertaining. Came here for all of my debate-news-catch-up. You never disappoint. Thanks! Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at November 15, 2007 08:56 PMLame. Obama did ok until he told us that George Bush spent the Social Security Trust Fund monies. What trust fund, for Christ's sake? He lost me on that. The Wicked Witch is still wicked and unable to change an iota of that. Lame, too. Richardson sounded good at the beginning but he lost me when he said he would bring all the contractors home immediately and ditto for the troops. Lame. Kucinich. Who the hell is Kucinich? Biden, the only one with sense enough to shut up when he ran out of something to say. Lame, lamer, lamest. Posted by: Calvin at November 15, 2007 08:58 PMStephen, Mr. Green, I have to thank you for watching that debate so I didn't have to. I am retro-actively dedicating one of the many beers I drank to you. Cheers! Posted by: James From Pittsburgh at November 15, 2007 09:27 PMStephen, I don't know if you saw it in HD; I'm gonna guess you've got the high tech toys. Ugh. This is the first campaign "debate" I've watched in HD and I swear to God, it was worse than anything else I've seen. There are some things we don't need to see in that level of detail and campaign "debates" between wallowing sacks of meat is one of them. Posted by: Everett at November 15, 2007 10:01 PMYour play-by-play of tonight's fiasco was pretty much on target. Name another blog that references Monty Python's "Upper Class Twit of the Year Contest", the Kellogg-Briand pact, the German invasion of Poland, Lend-Lease and "I Got Banged #17"? Stephen, you rock!!! Posted by: Spudskie at November 15, 2007 10:02 PMCorrection... I meant to say "I Got Gang Banged #17". Posted by: Spudskie at November 15, 2007 10:03 PMFor a second, I almost regretted that I didn't watch the debate. I was surprised that CNN let Lou Dobbs anywhere near the Dem candidates. Then silence. Did Dobbs get to ask a question about immigration? Posted by: Jabba the Tutt at November 16, 2007 05:11 AMNot the Wedgewood cocktail shaker? Posted by: Kat at November 16, 2007 07:51 AMBravo!! Posted by: Jim O'Sullivan at November 16, 2007 08:06 AMThanks for taking one for the team, Stephen Posted by: rbj at November 16, 2007 12:19 PMYou were funny, and I agreed with a surprising amount of what you said. Not this though: "Obama: Strong presidents negotiate with our enemies. Really? Name one. OK -- name one that worked out well for us." Nixon with China. Improved trade relations which has resulted in a movement towards greater democratization and property rights in their country and significant wealth in ours. Of course you were probably pretty drunk by then - and I wouldn't blame you. Posted by: Ben R. at November 16, 2007 01:25 PMI found a replacement for your shaker, btw. Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at November 17, 2007 09:39 AMTO: Stephen Green, et al. ....to show you that the Dhimmicrats can't handle the tough questions. And, if they can't handle the tough questions, how are they going to handle people REALLY REALLY want to kill them? Regards, Chuck(le) Posted by: Chuck Pelto at November 17, 2007 10:32 AMChris Dodd couldn't get a crowd worked up if he jumped a waitress in a restaurant. Posted by: richard mcenroe at November 17, 2007 11:27 AMI didn't watch, but I'll bet it was great when Wolf asked little miss "Suspension of Disbelief" if she still thinks Petraeus is full of it now that he is kicking Al Qaeda's ass?! Right?... I mean, how could you NOT ask Hillary a question about something she got such headlines for saying, that proved to be idiotic so fast!? Not even CNN could be THAT chickshit, right?
