Anybody Watch the R "Debate"?

Open discussion of the Mob o' Ten Preliminary Tryout In the Sticks. Didn't watch the whole thing myself but caught some bits...and got a little tired of watching them toss my uterus back and forth; I think the last guy to try to go for a long pass overthrew and left it plopped on the wing of Air Force One in the background. Ouch.

And on the postgame wrapup...what's the deal with OfBrownback? She was trying so hard to do the Nancy Reagan Adoration Stare, but she has this unfortunate squint of the eyes, that made it look like she saw a tick crawling on his right cheek but knew she couldn't pluck it off while they were on camera. It was about the most interesting thing seen all night.

McCain, by all accounts, tanked. Anybody who hasn't been watching him for the last few weeks but tuned in tonight is probably picking out a Get Well Soon card to send in support, then thinking uncomfortably that perhaps a Sympathy For Your Loss card for his wife might be more prudent.

Most interesting of the unimpressive crowd were Ron Paul (I was actually woo-hoo!ing some of his foreign policy comments) and Huckabee. Fortunately they will be long gone for lack of money within months.

Guiliana will be Geraldine Ferraro

What were the Dems thinking, nominating somebody involved with New York Real estate?

Same deal with Rudy. I'm sure Kerik is just the beginning.

And hey, would you want to have a beer with the guy? Even if he did take off the wig and the pearls?

Y'know, if you held a gun to my head

and said I *had* to go have a beer with one of Teh Ten, I probably would pick Rudy!(tm)

First of all, if I'm drinkin' with him rather than out in the street with a sign and a loud mouth protesting against him, I am at least marginally less likely to get my head knocked in and several of my favorite bodily parts stomped on/perforated/etc. Secondly, c'mon, men who crossdress proudly are more our kind of folks, arent' they?

Aside from his fascist tendencies, general worthlessness, shameless suckling at the 9/11 teat and overall Republicanism, he's probably the most fun of the lot.*

Buddha on a soda cracker, can you imagine drinking a beer with...well, any of the others? Mormon Mitt would sort of gingerly hand you something he thought was "heartlandish" like a Bud or related horsepiss, upside down out of lack of familiarity with the container, while he sat there with a little teacup with hot water and a lemon slice in it. The others would just be creepy. Make that creepier.

ewww. Thought gets more disgusting as I think it. Off to drink for real now.

No follow up. Personally wondered whether it was belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster that they sought to substitute for the sceintific method and reason.

Oh well we'll never know.

( To Bad this could have given Romney a hat trick with Mormon valueing a Sceintologist holy writ and a vision of an all mighty pasta)
