First Presidential Debate Live Blog

Demonstrating decision making that rivals McCain’s, Matt is letting me live blog the debates. It’s about to go down, I have a bottle of wine and some other refreshments all ready to go. This could get ugly. (Oh yeah, we operate on EST up in this bitch for the evening)

9:04 - Foreign policy = financial crisis? I like that logic.

9:06 - no golden parachutes. but he didn’t say anything about golden showers.

9:07 - McCain’s hair is the same color as his skin. freaky.

9:09 - haha, they got called out for not saying a damn thing in the previous 4 minutes. this needs canned laughter.

9:13 - the Pittsburgh Pirates’ new management has been all about “accountability”. they just sealed up their 16th straight losing season.

9:15 - earmarks or weed? which would you choose?

9:20 - i’m getting hungry with all this pork talk.

9:28 - biodiesel? way to pander to farmers Obama

9:31 - obama is negotiating away parts of his plans with jim lehrer. wtf

9:33 - i’m not drunk enough yet

9:36 - finally obama ties the tax cuts to the rich to universal healthcare. what was he waiting for?

9:38 - black man says word “orgy”, white people everywhere hide under the bed

9:40 - mccain isnt miss congeniality, he’s little miss bossy

9:45 - mccain is afraid to look at obama when he is speaking to him, what a punk

9:47 - how does mccain know this is what happens? it didnt go down like that for him in vietnam.

9:53 - mccain isnt like bush since he can pronounce the names of foreign countries. even if he doesnt know where they are, like spain

9:56 - if you think it is boring you have no idea how i feel. i am regretting doing this. if the Pirates game was being broadcast on teevee i would change to that and live blog it instead.

9:57 - nullus on absorbing blows and coddling musharraf

9:59 - did he wear his earrings and necklace too?

10:01 - all this bracelet talk is killing me. i think obama would look better dressed as a woman, thats the best endorsement i can give the guy

10:02 - speaking of which, dont they have DVDrs in afghanistan yet? it seems much more convenient than lugging a VCR around to random caves.

10:14 - there isnt even anything funny about any of this. its just painful

10:20 - i think we should send chevy chase and dan akroyd into russia, that shit is a better idea than mccain has

10:21 - i give up. im not sure whether im more disappointed in myself or these fools for making this shit so boring.

    re: 9:33. Me neither. McCain sort of sounds like he’s going to cry, though, which is amusing.

    why is mccain clenching his jaw whenever he’s not speaking? that makes me nervous.

    Frankly, I haven’t seen a good debate since Lincoln-Douglas.
    Hope it was good wine. The debate sucked.
