Just imagine how sick of this all Hillary and Barack must be. Most of us tuned out the contentless bullsh*t a week ago in order to rate trolls and campaign for William Jennings Bryan.

But they *can't* rate trolls. They've got to keep slinging the bullshit 24-7. The amazing thing is that either of them still want the job.

I think ABC should have had a dance off instead of a debate.

In my best Brittany-fan voice, "Leave Desidero Alone! Just leave Desidero alone!"

ahem...aside from that...

Brillaint! Thanks!

Lack of comic relief killed Star Wars I-III.

We won't have to face that dire fate, it seems. And since we got nuttin' else, keep the yuks coming.

I was thinking more about this post on my way to work, Genghis.

Though it's more Onion than Swift, this is just a great piece of satire.

This has been like going through a time warp and a black hole and finding out what's on the other side and it's not pretty.

This is much ado about nothing. An attempt was made to make it appear that the public is rising up in anger against ABC. In fact, it was Obama supporters, and ABC has handled the controversy very gracefully.

What angered Obama supporters more than the questions themselves is that they created the circumstance which allowed Obama to stumble and show his weakness in the "ugly politics" arena. Obama wanted to be in politics. He wants "a new kind of politics", but for now he's stuck with politics as they are. Maybe if elected he can begin to change the way things are, but for now he's running the old fashioned way as evidenced by his own campaign's negative attacks, and the debate showed he's not good at it when the heat gets turned up. Now we know exactly what kind of campaign to expect from the GOP, because they will of course go after Obama's weaknesses.

Yes, it is.

And you are like Obi-Wan Kenobi and I'm Luke Skywalker. You've crossed over to the other side but I can still talk to you by using the force because we can both use the force (aka TPM comments thread).

Actually, The Obama Cult's angry bloggers are just pouting and upset that Obama is actually getting questions about his words and actions. This is long overdue.

How are you all going to handle that one news item going into this weekend is Obama's boorish response the day after the debate in flipping off Clinton at an event in North Carolina? Dismiss it as you likely will, it is already gaining more mention in the news and the video and audience response is pretty clear.

The more Obama acts out, whines, and cries, the worse he looks. The online tantrums of his supporters only highlight the immaturity of his campaign and his unelectability. Good going!

Angry Bloggers should Demand Substance from Obama. Why Protest against ABC? They should protest against Obama to get some substantive clear answers from their leader.

While Hillary Clinton was saying today that she
did not think Senator Obama should not be complaining about the kind of questions that Charlie and George asked during the debate, her daughter Chelsey was saying the exact opposite to a College group.

Chelsey urged them to call ABC and complain about the lack of substance in the questions that Charlie and George asked during the debate. Chelsey also said that her mother has complained about those kinds of questions, in the past.

More of the same usual Clinton Doublespeak Bullshit.

Here is the NBC account of what Chelsey said, today.
She did a lot of "whining" about the quality of the questions.

From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum
PHILADELPHIA -- During an event billed as a discussion on the high costs of higher education yesterday afternoon, Chelsea Clinton faced difficult questions from Drexel University law students and faculty. Clinton called on those in attendance to call ABC with their complaints about last night's debate, tied her mother's work with children and women to the current situation with the Texas sect, and poked fun at a conservative first-year law student in the audience.

THE DEBATE: UNFAIR TO OBAMA?
One of the questions Clinton fielded came from a university administrator who asked her about her mom's actions during Tuesday night's debate. "Frankly, I was disappointed in her that she didn't have a stronger reaction to some of the inane questions that were asked that last night and that were really insulting to us and the candidates," Leslie Friedman said to Clinton.

"I agree," Clinton said. "My mom's been talking about the issues ... from public school reform to higher education affordability to equal pay to expanding Family Medical Leave. ... That's what she talks about. I wish that was what the media covered. I wish that was what they had asked about from the beginning last night."

But Friedman, who supports Obama, was not satisfied with this answer, firing back: "I think it's important though for a leader also to step up and say, 'You know, these kinds of questions are inappropriate, and I am insulted when you ask me or my opponent those questions.' And I wish that your mom would stand up and say that."

"And she has so frequently," Chelsea responded. "I am certainly proud at how she has been standing up and talking about the issues, and I wish that is what was focused on. I wish that was what the two moderators at the debate had started the debate last night. I also, as someone who has been a member of the family that has been on the receiving end quite a bit of Republican fire understand that some of what came up in the debate last night in the first part of the debate is unfortunately what will come up in the general election for whomever is running. ... I know that that type of attack will often be more subtle than what was raised in the debate last night and certainly will be pushed forward as trying to carve out what is at stake in this election."

"I wish that was what the debate was focused on last night," Clinton continued, saying her mother would have rather had issue-based questions. "And I hope that you'll write to ABC and you'll tell them that. I'm serous though. ... I hope that you will try to again reestablish those issues of being the focal point of not only this debate but of our politics. I wish that were true. I'm so proud that that is what my mom is always fighting to do."

Why did this thread go all serious at the end? I am furrowing my brow at the seriousness.
