Debate? What Debate?

Last night’s debate was more like “The George and Charlie Show.” It was perfectly disgusting, the way both moderators lobbed “gotcha” questions, more of them aimed at Barack Obama than at Hillary Clinton. For the first fifty-five minutes, we were treated to a rehash of the latest non-issues.

Note to Media: The opinions of Obama’s retired minister have been done to death. And, who was that ignorant woman you managed to find who asked Obama why he wouldn’t wear a flag pin? Do you really think that wearing a flag pin would make him more patriotic? I am so tired of watching all those ignoramuses wrapping themselves in the flag in order to make others appear to be something less than “real” Americans.

Charlie, on a more personal note, those glasses don’t make you look any more intelligent, perched there on the end of your nose. They just make you look even more smug and self-satisfied.

George, I kind of think it would be a good idea if you came right out and admitted that you are working, whether paid or unpaid, for the Clinton campaign. Your bias is much too obvious, and since you have set yourself up as someone who should be unbiased, you really ought to start every program on which you appear with this admission.

Frankly, after seeing the latest debate, I think the candidates ought to refuse to debate again on ABC and also refuse to allow last night’s moderators to participate in any future debates. In fact, if I ran ABC, I would have called a meeting early this morning, and fired both of them for their disgraceful behavior.

So there.
