For those of us who have better things to do, Stephen Green is drunk/liveblogging the Democratic Debate on ABC this morning.
Update: It’s over, and here are a few of the highlights:
9:42am Obama is, as a friend said, a nincompoop. He wants an “orderly, phased withdrawal… so that diplomacy can begin.” How does he think diplomacy works?
9:43am It’s funny hearing Kucinich use the word “maturity” when he’s shorter than my 19-month-old son.
9:44am Hillary claims she’s relied on prayer through her life. Her usual one goes, “Dear Lord, please don’t let Bill screw this up for me.”
9:45am Mike Gravel believes in love. Picture, if you will, a warm, loving Mike Gravel. You’re locked in his embrace… then he starts shouting in your ear and biting your shoulder like a mad dog.
(…)
9:51am I’ve had 2.5 Bloodys. Is it asking too much for a commercial break?
(…)
10:22am Remember back in 1992, when Ross Perot compared the deficit to the “crazy aunt in the basement.” Mike Gravel is the crazy uncle in the liquor cabinet.
Heh.
