I can't get a stable stream. Guess I'll have to watch it later.

So I guess now we know that Romney doesn't understand archaically structured debates any more than relating to "normal" people.

"Do you want to ask the President a question about that?"

"Yes."

Drink if anything makes you facepalm?

That would drop even me within a few minutes...

I would be so pissed if I was moderating this shit.  I would have probably walked out, gotten a beer, came back and conspicuously drunk it while waiting for them to stop being overtime.

Romney keeps agreeing with things then changing the subject instead of the other way around.

Am I the only one who would really, really want to see a drunk moderator?

I'm far more interested in the entertaining mistakes than what either one actually said. As long as it's a pony show dressed up as a debate, may as well judge em by their stage presence.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Oh, now we're getting to the point where they let the moderator speak and then outright ignore his questions.

Am I the only one who would really, really want to see a drunk moderator?

I would sell my soul to drunkly moderate a presidential debate.

Is that an offer?


Back on topic, this is probably the funniest one I've seen in awhile.

Well, we all know you (and others among us, including myself) would enjoy a pony show. :P

I think so far Romney's got a noticeable advantage in countering Obama's points with "Why haven't you done that already?" He needs to blame Congress more.

My tv signal broke up for some reason and I can't hear the debate anymore.  My mood has considerably improved.

It's now the moderator interrupting Romney rather than Romney interrupting the moderator. I took the shot.

I think that Romney got confused on the way there and is convinced that he's supposed to be the moderator.

Obama invokes Ronny before Romney?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

At this point I've moved from the desk to the bed because I couldn't feel my face any more.
