I will be twitter-twatting tonight’s Presidential debate between (in the Blah Corner) Barack “The Kenyan Usurper” Obama and (in the Whitebread With Mayo Corner) Willard “The Mormon Mangler” Romney. With the help of internet technology-magic (or magyck for you Renaissance Faire freaks) and the FDL IT nerd-elves, we hope to have a twitter feed on this very page for those of you haven’t graduated to Twitter yet because you just this week figured out how to post pictures of your grandkids on The Facebook.
Remember: pix of adorable baby messily eating puh-sketti or GTFO.
We’ll be here for all the zings, gaffes, WTF’s?, talking points, spin, unintentional double-entendres, running out the clock, awkward ha ha ha’s, obscene gerunds, and attempts to “sound black” (Mitt Romney only) through the whole debate because the TV people will be pre-empting Jeopardy although I think it would be awesome if they did one debate where the candidates were given the answer and they had to reply in the form of a question (“Drones” “What makes Conor Freidersdorf and Freddie deBoer have a sad?’“).
Yes. I would enjoy that.
Also, the dogs will be pre-fed and pre-de-pooped before the debate so there won’t be any interruptions of very important and significant 140-character Tourette-esque twatterings because this is what the internet was invented for.
That and porn. Mainly the porn.

I thought Obama’s fighting name was “The Islamic Shock”?
No, this is “The Kenyan Usurper” vs. “Money Boo-Boo” in a steel-cage death match!
If the Debate Commission had any balls, a gigantic set of the two photos at the top of this post would make an awesome backdrop to the debate stage.
Hee! Arthur’s been fed and tickled and playedwithalltehBabiezwithsqueekiethings and iz now hazing a nice NAP.
I haz instaled a significant piece of archival software and demonstrated that it works. So, SCREW U SEQUESTRATION CAUSE TEH ANSWER IZ THAT LAST HIRED, FIRST HOLIDAY LEAVE SO THERE AND I’LL JUST GO HOME SO THERE.
But still. all iz gud. Gonna be cold tomorrow
Will this debate be in Romney’s preferred format, the gawd awful family summer camp with all it’s gawd awful races and challenges and spilling the beans on how your spouse (or dressage pony) has a tiny little wienie and cries after sex and then Smores!!?
I’m gonna be drunk tomorrow!
Everytime Willard says “jobs” it’s drink time!
Everytime tanbark (the chicken fucker) types “drones” or “duopoly” it’s drink time!
I’ve set teh drinking game at ’47%”
YMMV
Dronez iz GUD
Dang! I wanna play! the drinking game, I mean. but I gotta get up and be at the airport by 6:30 in the am to go to court 300 miles away. And think more or less clearly when I get there.
Also grovel some before the judge, for a screw up a coupla weeks ago. Sigh.. It’s really hard to grovel with a hangover.
Go to the airport now. No time for sleeping! And I’d think you’d be bery bery persuasish if you’re still drunk when you see the judge.
Gee, thanks! Good advice, as always.
(I see you started early…)
Wait, where did the twitter thingy go?
It’s important to warm up properly before the main event…
Now we know Mitt thinks every American watches only Fox News.
Just posted over at the front page coverage. Romney was trying desperately not to be a dick, and he really couldn’t pull it off. I didn’t watch, but I listened, so this might be a difference.
It appears that Romney finished by saying that he will save the middle class by putting them all to work in the military.
Yet another public speech where Romney was totally reliant on an ‘Etch a Sketch’ to get through it.
Romney also took credit for the massive success that Harvard, MIT and Boston U., have in their roles as top universities in the US. I also liked him telling Jim “…I like you, but you’re fired.”
Geez, I’m on another mailing list with some excitable guy who just posted this silly bit of worry-wartism:
Dude, chill. “Some say” that because their ratings are better if it’s a horse race, as opposed to what it really is. And of course, there are reasons why I call our press “the GOP/Media Complex”, in this case as memories of another debate night were stirred — and I wonder now if Mittens was wearing a wire tonight too; the technology’s improved a lot since 2004, it wouldn’t be visible at all if he went with the cutting-edge stuff.
OK, did the intertoobz kill this thread AS WELL AS twitterit?
Team Obama: “Message – I care about Republican ideas.”
WOW, quite a bunch of WATB around the intertoobz tonight. The funny thing is, most of them are convinced the opinions they had before the debate are, wait for it! The same ones they have now: If you think President Obama is the greatest failure of Western Civilization and Mumia Land, you are correct!
If you think the President came across as a wonky, un-angry, black guy, you are correct!
I’m guessing Romney’s victory here will actually end up hurting him, now that his own advisers have immediately gone into “Uh, yes the Governor was wrong about that” mode.
There are a lot of people who appear to be upset that Obama didn’t punch Romney repeatedly.
I must admit that I would appear to fall into that demographic; however, in the alternate reality on which this happened, also saw President Obama’s Pegasus-Unicorn fill all of Governor Romney’s orifices with rainbow-vomit. After which they all shook hands, and Obama went for the “inside hug”.
I think I need to drink more…
Why is there a photo of a young Mitt Romney committing fake suicide behind Tyne Daly and Hillary Clinton?
Is Obama ready for the next debate, where Romney will be saying the exact opposite of what he said this time?
