First Presidential Debate Live Blog
by tom at 6:01 pm on September 26th, 2008 in 2008 PresidentialDemonstrating 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.

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