Early Thoughts on the Debate

By Zamboni

We really hope that the next President can correctly pronounce the name "Ahmadinejad."

We also really hope that unlike Senator McCain, the next President can pick the right kind of tie to wear on T.V. "Moray eel effect," anyone?

Somebody should have told Senator McCain that Senator Kennedy was already out of the hospital.

We don't understand how Senator McCain is going to effectively deal with foreign leaders when he wouldn't even look Senator Obama in the eye.

The media's newfound lack of McCain love was on display — at least on CNN — as it became apparent that Sarah Palin had turned Wolf Blitzer down on a post-debate interview (Joe Biden appeared by satellite from Milwaukee). When Blitzer said he wished he could talk to John McCain's running mate as well, Anderson Cooper said, "Yeah, don't hold your breath on that one."

Off to bed.
