TONIGHT: Liveblogging The GOP Debate At Ronald Reagan's Horror Emporium
We are hearing some kind of rumor that the corpse of Ronald Reagan is walking around the former president's library with a Rick Perry mask stapled over its face? Sure, that sounds like good television. We will be liveblogging it tonight! Join in for the fun at 7: 45PM ET. OH LOOK A PREVIEW, The Politico is on the scene, and they haveΒ tweetedΒ this exciting spotting of the Rick Reagan monster wandering around next to, let's see, the ghost of Dick Cheney and some white guy without a face. Freaky!
Doesn&#039;t matter, because it&#039;s not a debate. It&#039;s a test of how well he can memorize and spit out canned mini-speeches. Note how often his canned &quot;answers&quot; fail to answer the actual question asked. When blindsided, he&#039;ll blurt out something like &quot;What we <u>really</u> need to be talking about is something something something I&#039;ve memorized.&quot;
Reagan was a master at putting together great-sounding empty sentences, which drove my father nuts: &quot;What the hell is he saying?&quot; [Applause from audience.] &quot;But he didn&#039;t SAY anything!!&quot; [Throws hands in the air, sits down sputtering and muttering.]
Palin doesn&#039;t have nearly enough brainpower to master these particular arts. Worse, she can&#039;t hold a thought in her head for the length of time needed to construct a complete sentence, nor does she have the sense to stop running her mouth while attempting to do so. You can see the panic in her eyes during the Couric interview, when she realizes her brain is trailing her mouth by at least one lap of the track.
For what it&#039;s worth, Obama can speak extemporaneously, with clarity and logic. Too bad so few voters are capable of seeing the difference.
Hell, I&#039;d have a hard time keeping my drinks down. (Getting anything UP is &quot;not on the table&quot;, as Boner so appropriately puts it.)
I say fuck &#039;em all. Besides, the Red Sox are playing, too, also.
