Burning Questions From Last Night’s Debate
Wow. We will excerpt some mainstream and non-mainstream media reactions to Wednesday night’s Democratic debate shortly, but now, our staff has a few of its own questions and observations regarding the latest Clinton-Obama clash …
- Wait, Hillary, what’s your website again?
- What the hell did George Stephanopoulos do beforehand to end up sitting in such a dark corner? It was like he was being punished by ABC.
- If the over-under on the number of hours Barack Obama sleeps a night was four, would you take the over? Guy needs a cup of coffee …
- It ended way past his bedtime, but don’t you think John McCain would have loved some of the questions posed to the Democrats?
- Why was neither candidate asked about the Rocky YouTube video?
- Would anyone care if the woman who raised the American flag pin question was beaten down by security? What are Obama’s thoughts on the flag? Not even patriotism in general? Are they trying to waste time?
- What, exactly, are all the questions associating Barack Obama with Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers even getting at? Obama wants to blow up buildings? We get Jeremiah Wright, but even that’s played out.
- On a similar note, that was a great Louis Farrakhan mention last night - but if you’re gonna go down that road, why stop there? Why not call Obama by his middle name throughout the debate, too?”
- How ironic was the “electable” question? Hillary is forced to say Barack is, indeed, capable of winning in November, yet facing an insurmountable deficit, her only justification for staying in the race is convincing superdelegates that he’s not, and to jump ship. Awesome.
- When Hillary rambled her way through the Bosnia explanation, stating she needed to get more sleep in the future in order to avoid such missteps, didn’t you want Obama to jump in with: “That could be difficult, Hillary, with the phone constantly ringing at 3 a.m. and everything.”
- If those lame quotes that ended every commercial break don’t get you energized about the political process, gosh, what will?
