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 Fey is quite the comedienne! Sadly for the networks, the desperate voters who watched last night’s Obama-McCain show don’t have any money to buy any consumer items, so there were no commercials to pay for the teevee rays which are beamed from space at great expense to every room in America.

Who wouldn’t want to watch about team of mavericks that acts like a team, also…
Walnuts’ face looks freshly sliced up in that pic. MEL-A-NO-MA CHA! CHA! CHA!
Yowza. Nice picture. Are those scars where pieces of Grampy’s face have been sliced away?
Jesus Christ, McCain’s halfway to the Montauk Monster state of disintegration in this one.
The questions always suck. For once, will some grand inquisitor get Palin or McCain to admit they hate the UN and want to annihilate it? Why do the reporters seize “that one” and ignore McCain’s repeated references to the League of Nati–, oh, um, The “League of Democracies?”
This mutual checking out of packages is disconcerting, particularly after the pre-debate communal shower. Elephant walk, indeed.
No commercials?! I thought the whole thing was an ad to get the rich to buy one of the candidates.
It looks like McCain is saying, “I think I just shat myself.”
Yikes. I think his cheek tumor slid down into his neck. He should have that checked out.
The following neo-noir post-structuralist ballet successfully interprets the debate.

Be sure to watch the whole thing!
What is Obama thinking in that photo?
“Yes, yes, continue gruesome white man.”
nice boxing match..lol

Did Walnuts have half of a weimaraner’s nutsack grafted onto his cheek?
Well…let’s just say it was on in the house. Watching? Define your terms. Biden said it best today…we saw an angry man last night (an angry white man, at that). He know he sold out the 2000 version of Jamakane for this hybrid stinkbomb. In two years, he’ll be hollering “get off my seven lawns” at some sad Arizona teenagers who think he’s Barry Goldwater. Meanwhile, states continue to turn from “battleground” to blue. I imagine WALNUTS wishes yesterday was election day just like Barry does.
Code for “That Woman” if you read the elitist press…
Hahahaha, I just checked out Politico McLovin’s site http://www.fivethirtyeight.com, and Walnuts is advertising on it! Um, just above the whole map of Merka turning blue!
Hahahaha, sucker.
Now I know why McKlan’s dogs kept disrupting the Stehanopoulos interview. Dogs can sniff cancer and that, my friends, is a ginormous, flesh eating tumor.
[re=127183]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: I lurv Nerdy Nate even more for stripping Grampy of some of his cash. Hope those ads are expensive!
[re=127173]facehead[/re]: And where do you find these things? Ouch!
[re=127183]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: Haha. They read polls. Horny dudes like her.
What?! KO just said that Palin will, from now on, only be allowed to be interviewed by Hannity or Greta. Is this really true? Seriously?!
[re=127189]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: I didn’t see 9pm edition i have to catch the 10 pm showing. I wouldn’t be surprised by that happening though.
[re=127183]Tommy Says Soooo[/re]: Also lol at 9.5% chance at walnuts winning.
[re=127192]Worlds End[/re]: He says it at the very end, during the hand-off to Rachel. Rachel seemed to be backing him up on that. Free Sarah! I’ll miss the funny.
Maddow show: Obama: are you better off than you were four weeks ago? Classic. Now BHO is up by 11 nationwide (according to drunken Gallup)
The networks could still make money off this stuff.
Like Sarah would talk to any of you left wing, dope smoking, drive by, e-mail hacking, America hating, terrorist supporting legit media.
[re=127160]Delicious[/re]: What the hell is a “team of mavericks” anyway?
That’s like a “band of loners” or a “solitary team player”
The pink swelling on the side of Maverick’s head reminds me of those glow in the dark democracy truck nutz.
This is fascinating. Since I do not watch the TV, I viewed the debate online, on the Young Turks, with Cenk Uygur and Michael Schure providing “play-by-play” commentary. I did not, as I’ve heard so much today, find it dull whatsoever. Admittedly I am a total political freak (as well as a general one) but I thought it was fascinating to see the contrast between Obama’s centered, steady approach and McCain’s peripatetic, Penguinesque weirdness, and though the format and Brokaw’s bizarre handling of the moderation left much to be desired, I was totally absorbed in the proceeedings. OK, well, maybe also it was the choice of “my friends” as my drinking mantra that enlivened the shit.
We are about to do something VERY naughty and un-ladylike in our eternally unofficial chat room:

FREE LURKAGE FOR REPUBLICAN SENATORS!
Is it me or does Cindy McCain look creepy. I find her even creepier when she talks.
My Friends, My Friends, My Friends…if he could say it a little more condecendingly, that would make my day. And McCain’s heavy breathing?!! At first I thought the chalk lines in the red carpet were so McCain could find his way from the toilet to the stage and back, then I realized they were on both candidates sides of the stage….which is very disturbing. Neither of these men can find there way into a circle???
HARSH! I hope I don’t have any of you commenting on my looks in fifty years!
Speaking of creepy, Karen Hughes is now a red head. She looks like a vampire on Larry King.
One day, this shall be over, and we will have a wonderful dusky president. Then what? I guess I can stop drinking and start volunteering. I want Karen Hughes’ old job.
So, Grampy Grumpy, if this being prez thing doesn’t pan out, you might could find work as the Penguin in the next Batman flick.
When is the Michelle-Cindy debate?
“Now you listen to me, see. This is how it’s going to be, see. Me and the boys are going to the Kit Kat club, the place is crawling with dames, see….”
[re=127203]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Technically, it’s a herd, not a team. And it’s about damned time to cull the herd and make a up a big helping of maverick veal.
My friends, I’m not too popular in the U.S. Senate, and in fact, I am a Maverick. I spent time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and they put snakes in my head. Now, my friends, I don’t know where I am at times, like when TV lights are flashing at me, but I proved that I can make the hard decisions like not to name Tom Brokaw to be secretary of the treasury. Heh-heh. And you will know their names. If you see me walking down a highway, please lend a hand and get me to the nearest campaign event.
My friends, Sean Hannity has just been arrested in the bus station men’s room in a stall next to Larry Craig.
This is so FOX:
“The left’s blatant bias has crept from within its pages onto the cover shot.”
http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/10/08/atantaros_1008/#comment-139966
Basically, Fox is saying that the NEWSWEEK photography department is in the tank for OBAMA (because a few republican males didn’t immediately shoot their loads when they saw her on the cover.)
I also have a comment below the story, maybe it is still there.
[re=127206]serj![/re]: HA! That’s it – “Penguinese.” I’ve been trying to figure out what Grampa Simpson reminded me of, especially last night when he was waddling around the Town Hall stage – been bugging me for weeks. And of course – a penguin! A mean, nasty, disgusting melanoma-ridden, shit-sack of a penguin. I’d been thinking Tyrannosaurus Rex myself (cause of his weird little arms) but penguinese is better. Thank you!
HOLY CRAP all of you watched the debate? OH MY GAWD you should be begging for food right now! You kids are so easily distracted.
[re=127218]Shot at Wolf[/re]:
For some of us, Grumpyness is a way of life. Now, get off my lawn.
The Bride of The One is on The Daily Show tonight.
I watched on C-Span…do I count?

I’m voting for That One.
Great Ross Perot’s Ghost…
can someone help me here, or is this washington post headline a bit homoerotic?
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/10/08/mccain_looks_to_rise_again.html
“Balz’s Take: McCain Looks to Rise Again”
and then the sub-head is “Facing Stiff Odds, McCain Looks to Rise Again”
is the RNC funneling Viagra to McCain?
[re=127236]obfuscator[/re]: I know it’s your job to obfuscate, but don’t you mean the “Baby Mama” of “That One?”
Debate night was Music Night, for me. I play with some great musicians, lead by one of the greatest guitar players ever, retired from Grand Ole Opry.
When we took our first break, the debate was playing soundlessly with John McCain on the TV in the side room. At second break, Barack Obama was talking. When we quit for the night, the same TV channel had Homer Simpson on. Who was Homer debating with? Is Homer running for something?
Did I miss anything?
[re=127230]facehead[/re]: That’s their idea of an unflattering shot? They should visit Wonkette.
The ONLY thing that made watching the debate even remotely palatable was coming here to comment. And read other commenters comments. And the commenters comments on the comments.
In the picture, McCain is saying to Obama “I’m sure glad I’m wearing my Depends”.
