"At the end of the debate, Brokaw asked McCain to get out of the way of his Teleprompter, so he could sign off. Brokaw might as well have been speaking on behalf of the future: Senator McCain can you please get out of the way so we can get on with it?" Adriana Huffington

OUCH. I know he isn't getting her vote but dang!

what does fred thompson think? WHO CARES WHAT FRED THOMPSON THINKS.

Gotta love Thompson - only mentions Obama in terms of the economic crisis, not President Bush, not John McCain... and he thinks somehow Palin would arrive in Washington, guns blazing and corral all the wild-spending boys with her Main Street wisdom.
Someone has to tell Fred and Sarah that this is real life, not a crappy movie.

(sssh! don't tell Yester that I read it.)

Fred Thompson = Foghorn Leghorn.

OMG...so true!

All debates should be in graphic novel form. For serious.

I love 23/6. Did you guys see the Joe Biden slideshow? Classic.

Thanks Indie, that was great - here's a line I could never have imagined:

"You look like a jack-o-lantern taking a difficult crap. You just need to look less threatening."

Fred Thompson was great in Die Hard 2...really went with his gut and trusted Bruce Willis when he had no reason to. That's the kind of gut decision making that could have made Fred a great president.

Thanks, indie!

You're welcome stephley and em.

I loved when he's all like 'Holy sh*t.' when Jennifer Granholm quotes Palin about Putin.

I also liked when he starts crying and says that he wants to protect Palin from guys like him.

I love 23/6. I did the IM once with John McCain. That was fun.

And I loved the IM's conversations they do with the candidates. They did a really funny IM chat between McCain, Romney and Huckabee talking about Palin. Funny stuff. They're like the Onion of political blogs.

That's a high recommendation, I'll have to pay more attention to them. I love my daily Onion email.

I can't believe how absolutely crazy everyone is going over that one. That is so over-sensitive and pathetic that they are trying to make news out of it. Good grief, give me lipstick on a pig anyday.

I'm not going "crazy" over it, but it's pretty unprofessional and disrespectful, IMO. At least say "my opponent"--that's so basic, I learned that in high school debate. I'd think the same thing if Obama did it. They are both Senators and should at least speak to each other respectfully.

LOL! I'm glad people are going crazy. Remember the last debate when people were offended Barack called him "John". Oh how the tables have turned!!!!

Exactly Adren. Referring to some one as "that one" like you can't even be bothered to say their name is far ruder than referring to some one by their first name. It was dismissive and unprofessional.
