Dude, I was yelling at my TV. Also when he accused Obama of running a more negative campaign. And mistaking downs syndrome for autism. And asking Obama to again clarify his relationship with Ayers right after ha had just done so. And the persistent misrepresentation of Obama's tax and healthcare plans. And... yeah, pretty much everything that came out of his nasty, doddering, meanspirited mouth.

On the other hand "Senator Government" is a pretty great nickname.

I LOVED, loved how hurt poor John McCain's feelings are by Obama's negative campainging. Do you know Obama is running attack ads on his health care plan? Why, that's just underhanded. Attacking policies is totally below the belt. All the McCain camp did was attack Obama's character, imply that he's a terrorist muslim who's hiding something, that he can't be trusted -why, that's just good tough american politics.

But Chris, she understands about families with Autism and she's married to one tough dude. That's all we should ask of a lady. Can't go expecting her to be qualified like we would menfolk.

Seriously. I'm pretty sure that was his answer: She's a nice republican lady and I probly won't die in office.

yeah. what an asshat.

I do take great joy in the clip of Obama explaining that small businesses wouldn't be fined if they couldn't provide healthcare. McCain's face is fantastic. clearly, he was not prepared for that answer.

kevin posted it on his lj if you haven't seen it. I mean, I know you saw it, but it's so worth watching again. during the actual debate, I was paying attention to Obama and completely missed some the hilarious faces McCain was making.

That picture right there is basically what I took away from the debate. Crazy, awful, old man.

I just read the transcript (I feel asleep watching it in replay) and the line that most stands out to me is during the debate on abortion -- "So Obama's for the mother's health" -- I haven't watched the clip but did he say that as flippantly as it sounds????

Because seriously ... fuck that dude. That's the same thing as Palin talking about "blunders" in Iraq with her folksy nonchalance that makes it sound like it's no big deal.

I did scream at the TV when I was awake ... and McCain's grimacing was ridiculous. Seriously, grandpa ridiculous.

Very flippantly. With little air quotes around "women's health".

No joke. Air quotes.

I'm still convinced McCain will spend all his energy trying to find a plumber named joe that makes quarter a million a year with a kid with autism.

And when he does find that guy, he's going to declare victory and insist people call him King of America.
