debate
Ah, snap polls. Here is how they work: A news-gathering organization rounds up a bunch of plumbers, all named Joe, and puts them in a lockbox where they are forced to look at two people arguing for 90 minutes. At the end of this torture session, people ask themselves, “Who blinked less? I’ll go with [...]
It’s the photograph we have all been waiting for, the one you have already seen on the million frigging blogs you check every morning. John McCain makes very silly faces, indeed! Here he is vomiting, or making a lizard face, or trying to grab Barack Obama’s ass, or who knows. Re-enacting this commercial maybe?
Thanks to Jed Report/DailyKos for suffering through this long enough to make the awful clip you see today.
Thank you for staying with Wonkette for our special sexy late-night post-debate fun! John McCain and Cindy McCain have left the building! Barack and Michelle are, as usual, still there. Are they? Hey, C-SPAN, could you zoom in? Here is Part I, and Part II, and Part III, and Part IV. (Oh and Sara started [...]
BREAKING OBAMA WINS DEBATE BY LANDSLIDE: Yikes, Obama won by 58%, he has won Three In A Row, according to All Networks, CNN, CBS, Everything. [Katie Couric Live Right Now, Online, Interviewing Joe the Plumber!]
Liveblogging The Last Debate In The History Of Mankind, Part III
How drunk are you people yet? Joe the Plumber is going to be elected President of America, because he has suffered so greatly for all of us, and gotten all of us drunk by being mentioned fourteen billion times by each presidential candidate so far. Bob Schieffer is being a hardass, oh boy! He even [...]
Is this really it? The end of the debates, for this presidential race? It seems like only two years ago that these awful debates began — because that’s how long they’ve been going on, for two years. And now, it comes down to Two Men. One is an increasingly terrifying old lunatic who is probably [...]
We had a hard time watching the whole thing, and this is our job. Did 63.2 million people — 66 million if you count elitist PBS viewers — really watch that dull sleepytime debate last night? That’s what the ratings company claims. Even more people (70 million!) watched the Palin-Biden debate, because hey, that Tina [...]
Here is that remarkable video from last night, just after the debate. The news channels quickly cut to their commentators and spin rooms and such, but the C-SPAN cameras stayed as long as there was a candidate in the room. Here’s what to watch for:
Here it is again, my friends. It is also here. And here’s the fun entire debate, via C-SPAN, after the jump.
This is the first time your editor has really paid attention to those squiggly lines on the CNN independent voter torture graph. Wow! The uncommitted voters of Ohio do not like this John McCain character. The only time we’ve seen a real happy response to McCain was when he was talking very generally (and quite [...]
Liveblogging The Boring Economic Town Hall Depression Debate, Part IV

The New Great Depression hobo pictured here is Joe Biden, getting on the hobo train from Washington to Delaware to tend to his adult children. Joe Biden therefore cannot debate tonight, so lil’ old Hopey will have to debate against the old fart in his place. Who can pretend he will fix the economy more [...]
If there was ever a time for an old-fashioned community meetin’ at the old town hall, what with the world comin’ to an end and such, that time is now, brothers and sisters. But, we can’t even do a Great Depression right, so get ready for a lot of inane questions submitted via Twitter on [...]
Sarah Palin continues to avoid the “mainstream gotcha media” wing of yellow black journalists after Katie Couric, the host of a basic news program for old people, proved to be too In The Tank in too many interviews. Since last week’s debate, she’s only granted interviews to such staunch conservative kingpins as Hugh Hewitt, Rush [...]
