Debate!
My grandparents have been married for sixty-two years. They love each other a great deal (obviously), but they have sort of tuned each other out over the years. Every time my grandma tells a story, my grandpa proceeds to tell the same story within about five minutes. Also, if my grandpa launches into one of his epic tales, my grandma will listen to the whole thing with her lips pursed, shaking her head. When he is finally done, she'll say, "THAT'S not how it happened, Ed." And then she'll repeat the entire twenty-minute long story verbatim, with one innocuous detail changed, like how the gas station attendant was wearing a blue shirt and not a red shirt.
Watching John McCain in this debate is like spending a four-day weekend like my grandparents. All he does is repeat points that Obama already made more eloquently seconds earlier, and then he keeps repeating his same tired talking points over and over and over, long after Obama has addressed them and moved on. Seriously. I have this mental picture of McCain dozing and drooling in a rocking chair on the front porch, and periodically sitting bolt upright and hollering "Pork barrel!" He looks so cranky. I think it's about grandpa's bedtime.
Man, I cannot WAIT for Biden to systematically dismantle Sarah Palin so that she can be exposed for the evil android from the future that she so clearly is.
And speaking of androids, has Jim Lehrer had work done? If not he either has a metal endoskeleton, or he just looks fantastic for being seventy-four.
