9:00 Ohhh, this is gonna be good. This is gonna be like a bull fight, according to Chris Matthews. They are using red carpeted floors so the blood won't show. There are two altars by the moderator's desk, one with glue, the other with broken glass.
9:01 David Gregory says McCain needs to bloody Obama's nose. IE, make it flatter, right? RACIST! "He'd need to pull his hair, too, if it weren't so nappy."
9:02 Tom Brokaw cannot not sound drunk. It's official. It's science.
9:02 Awkward entrance. I'm starting to think these two candidates don't like each other. Obama should've asked McCain for a high five and then laughed at Gimpy McPowPow
9:03 Welp, McCain didn't shield his eyes and scream, "I can't see you!" so, so far, so good
9:03 Coin tossing is in the tank for Obama
9:04 First question is from Major Briggs from Twin Peaks
9:05 numberssss boring blahblahblaheconomy. Call him a cracker already.
9:06 Macca's up.
9:06 For a nonblinker, he sure is blinking a lot
9:07 Macca mentions China without editorializing that he "hates gooks." Good for him.
9:07 I love when politicians make the "finger pounding" gesture without something to pound their finger on. Like there's an invisible podium.
9:08 First "my friends" of the evening
9:08 Second "my friends" of the evening
9:08 Third "my friends" of the evening
9:08 Macca knows how to fix the economy, like he knows how to win wars. And he won't tell any of us how until we elect him.
9:11 Uh-oh . . . black guy asking McCain a question . . . will Macca call him "boy?"
9;11 No.
9:12 I love when McCain references suspending his campaign. No joke there. I just do. Like a shitty boyfriend who always defends himself with "that time I made you dinner (that I really ordered from Boston Market)."
9:12 Oh, snap, "Sen Obama and his cronies." And Barry O laughs.
9:12 Now O's watching Macca with something akin to pity and love
9:13 Barry's up. He's actually answering the guy's question. Must be a black thing.
9:14 "I've gotta correct some of McCain's history, not surprisingly." Snark meter: 2
9:16 Brokaw hates Obama.
9:17 Brokaw kinda hates McCain. Maybe he's just pissed about not being able to continue drinking while on camera
9:20 In the background, it looked like McCain was leaving. Maybe he just got lost again
9:21 This format is kinda creepy. I would hate having the candidates all up in my grill while answering my questions. Well, mainly McCain. I bet Barry smells like cinnamon
9:22 "I have fought for cutting spending," sez Macca on the day it came out that McCain voted FOR the $5 million bear DNA project he has lambasted for so long
9:23 Brokaw hates everyone around him
9:24 YOU DID NOT JUST USE JOE LEIBERMAN AS AN E
9:25 While Macckers is blathering, it looks like Barry is posing for headshots
9:26 Barry references Venezuala without implying it's in the Middle East. He's automatically a better candidate than McCain.
9:26 DO YOU SEE HOW HE'S ACTUALLY ANSWERING T
9:29 McCain just referenced Barack asking for an overhead projector. I must have missed something. It sounded like an insult. Maybe he's implying Barack is an arugala-munching fag who likes to use visual aids while he windsurfs
9:30 This debate's boring. Let's get to the name calling, please.
9:31 John McCain must be reading this, 'cause he just got all pissy about the nature of the previous question, and how he doesn't need to answer that because "We're Americans" and can apparently multitask. How's that working out for us right now? Feel free to use the words Afghanistan and Iraq in your answer.
9:34 Seriously, someone throw something or something! This is like eavesdropping on a conversation in the accounting department on a Wednesday.
9:35 "Nailing Jell-O to the wall." No one conjures up-to-date similies like John S. McCain III. "That's how we entertained ourselves IN GOOK JAIL!"
9:36 HOLY SHIT EYE CONTACT! "I got news for you, Barack. I'm handing you this debate by being a condescending douchebag."
9:36 Come on, Barry, you can't not respond to this bullshit politely
9:37 Brokaw won't let Barack respond. Never mind. Racist.
9:41 McCain just yelled at Brokaw for asking the same question to him. Yikes.
9:41 The second time McCain's referenced Obama not voting against his party line in the history of the country. Why so arbitrary a metric? Maybe it's 'cause Obama's party was AGAINST ALL THE SHIT YOUR PARTY WAS DOIN
9:44 "Sen Obama's worried about nuclear power 'cause it's potentially dangerous or some shit. I was on nuclear ships and I'm alive!"
9:44 "We'll figure this all out 'cause we're Americans." I like McCain's moxie. "I'm sure someone'll figure this out!"
9:46 God, this audience totally wants to be somewhere else now. It's like being at church, only on camera. "Wish I brought my PSP . . . "
9:48 McCain stutters after a reference to Silicon Valley. Maybe 'cause he doesn't know what it is. "That's a strip club, right?"
9:48 McCain just called Obama "that one." Jeeeeesus.
9:48 407th "my friends" of the evening
9:49 408th. Does he get paid for these?
9:50 The only good thing about this format is that McCain is unable to sit still (WARWOUNDS), so whenever Obama's speaking, you get to occasionally catch glimpses of Macca wandering around in the background, like it was a Sunday afternoon in a supermarket. "What kinda of soups do I like again . . . ?"
9:54 zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzMacknack gives the angriest and most boring screed on socialized-but-still-free-market-based health care. I'm surprised he didn't say that wellness will trickle down, as long as the top 1% is healthy first.
9:56 Oh, so there's NO mandate, Barack? But John McCain just went on for 3 hours saying that you're all about mandates.
9:57 Oh, so you mean that it would only be illegal to not insure children? And John McCain voted against SCHiP's expansion? Huh. Well, that McCain fellow might not be so trustworthy after all.
9:57 That last point made Mack the Knife get up and wander some more. "Oh, orange juice is on sale. Am I still able to drink that . . . ?"
9:59 NOTE TO BROKAW: Maybe you have to keep mentioning this format's rules because this is a ridiculously bad format
9:59 John McCain's joke about Barack's fines for not insuring children goes over about as well as his plane did above Vietnam. . . . too soon?
10:03 Obama stumbles on saying America is a "force of good" in the world. 'Cause he's a terrorist. Sarah Palin starts masturbating.
10:06 Two "my friends" in one answer already.
10:06 What the fuck does "bringing them home in victory" mean, you insane old man?
10:07 McCain sounds all too hungry when he says "Our most precious asset is American blood."
10:08 I'll say it again, this format is shit. All too easy to lie for 2 minutes and then not allow the opponant to respond.
10:10 Shit, Obama wants to invade Pakistan and potentially rape and pillage it. Of course, Obamaz calls it "Pockystan" because he's an elitist terror agent.
10:13 WE'RE ARGUING ABOUT THE FORMAT AGAIN
10:14 Oh, shit, that was hilarious. McCain tried to jump in with a "joke" right when Obama brings up "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." It shut him up real fast.
10:15 "I know how to handle these crises," says McCain. I dunno, call me crazy, but I don't want my country being imprisoned for 5 1/2 years. . . . Too soon?
10:20 I just remembered John McCain used his "no time for on-the-job training" crack 10 minutes or so ago. Is that the first time he's said that since picking Palin?
10:25 "And now a question from Teri Schiavo?!"
10:25 Oh, I guess I misheard. Still. That'd be a curveball, eh?
10:26 Boy, Obama's gotta be so tired of having to clearly correct McCain on this "no preconditions with Iran" shit
10:26 myfriendmyfriendmyfriend. That's John McCain's "um"
10:29 You can hear Brokaw tapping his watch. "John McCain hasn't been speaking for too long. I miss his voice."
10:33 Ewww, during Obama's "What I don't know" answer, I turned to Alexis and said, "He should've just said, 'I don't know what's going to happen.'" And then McCain answered with that verbatim.
10:33 And then he goes on to pretty much repeat Obama's answer, just changing the proper nouns. He's even trying to hone in on the single-mom territory. Says Alexis: "He wants to be Obama so bad."
10:35 And it ends. Man. Whomever was playing the "my friends" drinking game is now dead. What was the final count? 20-something? Kind of a disappointing debate, as far as all the "gloves are off" nonsense we heard all day today. McCain came off as a douchebag. Obama came off as smart. It was mainly policy, and that's a good (albeit kinda boring) thing, methinks.
9:01 David Gregory says McCain needs to bloody Obama's nose. IE, make it flatter, right? RACIST! "He'd need to pull his hair, too, if it weren't so nappy."
