#3 I got a question. How come Democrats never get asked these questions? And how come they get Brian Williams as a moderator and the Republicans get this quack?

#4 I listened to this so-called debate for a bit on the radio last night. This was the most sophomoric, dipsh*t debate I ever heard. It was shallow, it was stupid. And where in the hell did they get Chris Mattews for the moderator? I turned it off after 15 minutes. I literally could not stand the stupidity any more. Where is the leadership? It ain't here.

#5 "What do you dislike most about America?"

"Well, you see, I believe this is the greatest country in the world but what I dislike most is the lack of any Constitutional authority to tar and feather miserable little media swine like you and run them out of town on a rail."

#6 I watched all but the first 15 minutes. Matthews' style of "moderation" was the same as that used on his Hardball program-invested in promoting his own version of truth. I have no opinion either way on Karl Rove, but it was really something to watch Matthews' bias so out front in an event which demands disinterested professionalism.

#7 I got a question. How come Democrats never get asked these questions?

Because they essentially own the questioners. Compare that to the Dem candidates who were too scared of that mean old Fox Network to let them host their debate.

I'm already sick of this campaign, but giving up on politics completely will only help the Dems.

#8 It looks like it is going to be an excruciatingly long time between now and November 2008.

#9 Matthews is a freakin putz, bizarro Vandehei is a maggot.

Can we find grown ups to be debate mods?
