I need to stop drinking my way through debates

[trinityvixen]

When not entirely possessed of my sober mind, it's nearly impossible for me to figure out who won these things. CNN seemed to call it for Obama. I didn't get that impression. I think Obama breaking the rules of the debate, as agreed upon by both sides, to be a serious error on his part. Then again, I'm surprised McCain thought he could get away with calling Obama "that one" as if considering his opponent too hideous to name would appear as anything but hideous.

I think everyone can agree that Tom Brokaw was a terrible moderator. Tom, you're not a school marm with power over his pupils. These are United States Senators, and you sounded like a whiny bitch when you couldn't make them stick to the debate structure that was agreed upon. Far as I know, you weren't supposed to ask follow-up questions of your own, so you weren't sticking to script. Shut the F up. Also, what the F happened to your eyeballs? Did they shrink? No, I'm totally serious. This was the first thing I noticed in the whole debate: Tom Brokaw's eyeballs have retracted into his skull. What the shit?

I had some definite anxiety over the debate. I was really upset that Obama broke the rules, and I was annoyed at the snorkeling noises Brokaw was making. What really bothered the hell out of me was McCain, though. I guess he was just projecting his anger or something, because I felt so threatened and uncomfortable watching and listening to him.

And not just because he appeared to be wearing a wet diaper.

And I agree, Brokaw looked different. Weird.
