I’ve got dibs on how many times he says ‘you betcha’ like his gal pal from Hicklaska.

Lonewolf.
That is scary/funny.

Wait… don’t they hunt lonewolves from snowmobiles in Alaska?

mainlining Xanax here…….

Your debate drinking game word…

As always, I choose “at the end of the day”. BTW, I hate that “WHO IS THIS PERSON” ad. I know money is money but it’s insulting that a picture of Sidney Poitier is used to ask us if we can tell the difference Halle Barry and Chris Rock.

The drinking word game is “my friends” and i thjkb kjmnewhbflhbsjhf v

Man, alcohol poisoning is really nasty…

By the way, o Host, what’s the latest on the health care front?

I won’t be able to watch the debate tonight so let me know if former prisoner of war John McCain cracks under the pressure, pulls a gun, and starts blasting away at the assembled media.

He verbally blasted this poor black guy by saying (I paraphrase) — “You probably had never heard of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.” Even though the young man made it clear he was asking the question on behalf of himself and his friends — McCain said he wanted to help Americans like the white guy who’d asked the previous question.

He stood there jabbing his finger aggressively at this kid.

You know. “That one.”

Doggonit I betcha Don Rickles lost the debates about 65%-40% in da polls mah friends as moronacuda continues to ride the Ayres Wright dead horse. The moronacudas continue to pull their wild hairs trying to chain vote cage via Wing Nut AGs and grasp at the loose straw of “Obama’s foreign doners.” Obama continues to sink 3 pointers as the cudas manically jump around trying to get the ball.

And you betcha the Right Wignut blogs be bitchin’ now. They’re mad as hell and they have to take it for eight years.

The electoral vote implosion is getting fun to watch. Obamas didn’t even bother to hit Rickles with the fact that he voted for all the wacky million dollar earmark amphibious DNA studies.

&Brokaw planted his face in the pavement at the end. He decided to end the debate with two mind-numbing “questions” — “All this requires is a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ –Is Russia still the Evil Empire?” was Brokaw’s contribution to the foolhardy simplicity of American political discourse.

Obama ignored the either/or frame, and McCain tried to game the frame by answering “Maybe.”

“What don’t you know and how will you learn it?” — was a question from the internet, proving the “new media” has parity with the “old media” for idiocy.

if former prisoner of war John McCain cracks under the pressure, pulls a gun, and starts blasting away at the assembled media.

No, but he did do a masterful job of kicking his heels and whining “ME TOO! ME TOO! I GETTA RESPOND TOO” when Obama wanted to respond to McCain’s “mah opponent wants to tell Pakistan he’ll invade!” bullshit.

We also got a repeat performance of “freeze the entire Federal budget except for the War Department”. Uh, yeah, John. Keep going to the well on that one. I dare you.

I thought two semi-bizarre moments were when Rickles told Brokaw he wouldn’t pick him for his Sec Treasury and McCain pointed to Obama and called him “that one.”

PTSD. I think McCain felt the evening slip away. His task to turn Obama into a blob of jello and nail him to the wall was a tall task..for a short insane codger. He is the most pissed off asshole I’ve ever seen in politics.

“He is the most pissed off asshole I’ve ever seen in politics.”

“Asshole” being the operative word here. If that likeability factor comes into play in this election, McPalin are dead in the water. Both are obvious assholes. I don’t think anyone “likes” McCain, including his base. Palin is beloved by those 27% Bushie deadenders. 27% is not going to put the ticket over the top.

Sorry, lonewolf was disqualified as it was found to provoke an armed reaction by VP trophy candidate Palin.

My debate drinking word was “my friends”, because I wanted to get drunk.

bonus word (for the hard stuff) – “waziristan”

The most disturbing sight to me was McCain continuing not to just step forward and directly address a person asking a question — he kept walking in between the stadium-style seats so he could get this close to somebody in that area and lean into them and pound on the railing. Everyone in the group had to turn sideways to watch him and looked like they weren’t sure if they were going to be slapped or just yelled at.

It also looked to me like the McCain’s escaped post-haste while the Obamas stayed and shook hands and signed autographs and posed for pictures with anyone who wanted to engage them — and there were a lot of those. My favorite – a paunchy old guy in a veteran’s cap who wanted to put his arm around Obama for a photo.

One thing is obvious: McCain did not survive his years as a POW intact. The guy is definitely damaged goods. Fortunately, if he becomes president he will have 6-1/2 billion people to take it out on, so that reduces the odds that he’ll get me.

I’m not so sure Palin is going to survive this campaign intact. By that I mean she may be doing serious damage to that wonderful future she is supposed to have leading the GOP. First, there may not be much left of the GOP after Crazy J and Daisy Mae get finished with it. Palin’s going to be primarily known as the Daughter of Joe McCarthy and leader of the fringe of the fringe. Admittedly, incompetents have a way of triumphing in American politics, but I remain unconvinced that the net result of her candidacy (for her) will be much more than her being discredited as a nasty buffoon.

Palin makes the Know Nothings seem like the party of multiple Nobel Prize laureates.

I think we’ll all be happier if Sarah is retired to giving guest speeches at gatherings of the Red Mist Club in Wyoming (Club? Society? Gang? Whatever the hell those cretins call themselves.)
