SFGate: A secret memo controls the rules of the presidential debates - should it?

So any chance of Palin charging the stage and hitting Obama with a steel folding chair a la the WWE? After all, the big pay per view show is in less than three weeks, it’s time to ramp up the rhetoric.

That way, we can have Obama and Biden in a tag match with McCain and Palin next week. Rush Limbaugh tries to interfere in the match by slipping Palin a foreign object (everything foreign is clearly evil) but gets clobbered by Williams Ayers and his patented move, the Radical Leftist Bomb.

Am I the only one who finds this eagle display thing really atrocious? It has been at every debate so far and looks like the bird is drilling its talons into the US flag while tearing the constitution apart with his beak. He looks really angry…like McCain.

Why do you hate freedom, Blue Harvester?

It’s an old symbol, no doubt. Maybe they had to cut the new symbol out of the budget thanks to recent financial troubles?

Looks like one of them surfin’ birds to me. You heard about them?

I forgot this was a debate with the “table setup”.

Jesus, the “table setup?” Why isn’t Bill Maher moderating?

Hahahha look at the fat dude to the right.

I was too distracted by the super patriotic tie.

I love how every single debate has been defined as “make or break” by every news outlet. By definition, if the first debate was make or break, shouldn’t every other debate after that not be so?

But each debate has been a tie. Didn’t you get the memo?

Poor media. Politics just isn’t exciting unless you’re a giant nerd*. There’s no way around it.

* Please note - MissZooey = giant nerd.

They brought in a pool table!

It looks more like the eagle is surfing…

As for that pool table, it looks more like it was meant for playing craps. That’s McCain’s pecadillo, gambling. Maybe he’s gonna try to run the table, but come up snake eyes?

C-SPAN debate cam is already up, in case you want to see live streaming of the empty debate table :slight_smile:

Okay, the anticipation is killing me, but it’s not going to be anything compared to the time period between the debate’s end and November 4th. Ugh.

I kinda just want this all to be said and done so that I’ll know whether or not I’m going to slip into an alcoholic haze for the next four and some-odd years.

I’m dying to see it, but i have a stone temple pilots concert. So I look forward to catching the replay at Youtube later. And seeing your comments, of course.

They have been pretty boring affairs so far, I’m hoping things get more interesting tonight.

From Sarah Walker at 23/6 . What to Look for in Tonight’s Debate

Quote:

Is McCain still old? Is Obama still black? Did Obama look at me personally, or was he looking at the camera? Did McCain’s left ear just fall off? Did Obama just make a secret terrorist hand gesture that would signal his terrorist friends to hop in the Obama Time Machine to travel back to 1969 to attempt to set off a bomb? Did McCain wink long and slow and then put his entire fist in his mouth instead of answering a question? Did Sarah Palin rush onstage and yell at Obama, “You’ll lose in Iraq, Barack” and then high five McCain and rush off? Did Joe Biden tell his wife to show more cleav because she’s secretly the hottest of the spouses? Did Michelle Obama break one of Cindy McCain’s bird-bones by shaking her hand too awesomely because she’s so awesome? Barack did look at me, right? Because when I smiled at him on the TV he smiled at the camera.

and hmmm…Did Sarah Palin rush onstage and yell at Obama, “You’ll lose in Iraq, Barack” and then high five McCain and rush off?

Prophetic? You decide.
