First of all, I’d like to thank Allen, Oliver, Teresa, Fiora, Langdon, Ingrid, Lindsay, Steve, Katie, and Zenned out Peggy. Your milquetoasty, bland, and probably heavily vetted questions kept the fun out of one more debate, one more time. Not even that old codger, McCain, could sit still for the whole thing without wandering around the room like he’d lost his keys.
“Those of you at home, are not so constrained,” said Tom Brokaw, referring to the television audience’s freedom to howl like goddamned monkeys, if they liked, at the proceedings. Just there was nothing to howl about. Obama got to run, pretty smoothly, through a calm rehash of stump speeches and the Curmudgeon from the Dungeon rattled off the names of a bunch of old fogies he used to pal around with, like Reagan, Tip O’Neil, and Russ Feingold.
It’s no wonder that it’s more fun to follow the Palin side of the campaign. Keeping up with that hillbilly woman’s syntax is like an addiction to Sudoku puzzles, and add to it the fact that her rallies are starting more and more to look like thinly veiled Klan meetings, this the one to watch. At a rally this week, supporters shouted ‘Kill him’ after Palin made comments linking Obama to terrorist activities. An African American AV Tech was menaced, as were reporters of the mainstream media. This is good old fashioned politics!
The Republicans are fading in the polls like an old pair of jeans and you had best be Very Nervous and Wary they don’t try something desperate before the seat gets blown out. These Sinister Hoodlums are capable of anything and not for a moment held back by Conciousness or Civil Liberty. God protect Track Palin is what I’ve got to say. Sacre’Poutine! That’s not good enough! You’ve got to contribute to the Bertie Ernesto(*) “Chasing Track” fund! He’s raising money to buy personal armor and a plane ticket to Diyala in order to keep that piece of Political Canon Fodder safe and sound! I predict something terrible before the next debate if nothing is done!
* Bertie is, apparently, raising funds through treasurer Thomas Foster. Don't ask me why, he's from Manitoba, go figure.
