I tried to watch that "debate" on Wednesday but found myself losing IQ points.<BR/><BR/>"shoddy [and] despicable," "specious and gossipy," "cringe-worthy," "banal," consisting of "tabloid trivia," "flat-out repulsive," "embarrassing," "seem[ingly] slanted against [Sen. Barack] Obama," "shameful," and "an outrage."<BR/><BR/>That's how Media Matters summed up the temperature of the running commentary on Wednesday's Democratic Presidential Debate moderated by ABC's Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous.<BR/><BR/>It took the better part of an hour before questions of substance were asked and still, the candidates (hell, just Obama) were asked questions so stupid I could only think "we have a chance to ask someone who could be the next POTUS our questions, and we want to know about flag pins?!" <BR/><BR/>Couldn't tell if that woman (the chick with the unfortunate hairdo) was being serious or was looking for her 15 minutes a la brotha Warhol.<BR/><BR/>What it proved to be was an unfortunate metaphor for the current state of Washington politics: keep the American people focused on what's happening in the weeds and they've never see what we're doing right in plain sight.Lalitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460917758732512734noreply@blogger.com
