I can't believe I'm watching FoxNews... (Debate Thread)

[FlashHarry]

That little Fox bug in the lower left-hand corner of the screen is freaking me out.

1. Just make sure you change the channel after....

or you might end up watching Hannity discussing the debate.....

[FlashHarry]

3. No sh*t!

I loved how Franken described him as an Irish Ape in his book. Nothing like a little ad hominem attack shoveled back at the purveyors.

[Cha]

2. It's pretty damn disgraceful that fauxsux is the only one carrying..

the Dems debates! Is that like timmy the gewhore russert moderating the Florida debates?

[thom1102]

5. It's their debate...

They are sponsoring. I agree, though, I can't believe I am watching this.

[Cha]

7. I know it's "their debate" ....but why is it only their debate...?

It's just too twilight Zonish!

[thom1102]

6. What does the sticker on Dean's lapel say?

[SweetZombieJesus]

4. Fuck you Joe!

This is only a battle in the war on terror because Bush made it one, you fucking asshole!

And Dean calls him on it! Eat shit, Joe!

[Cha]

8. "Dean calls him on it" ? I like the sound of that!

[FlashHarry]

9. Gephardt: "Miserable Failure" again

Yada yada yada. It's like watching a comedian recycle the same jokes. It sounded good when it sounded extemporaneous; now it just sounds canned.

[Wwagsthedog]

10. Didn't the Black Caucus chair this debate?

And wasn't faux news the only channel to agree to carry the debate?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

12. wheres is this? on the net?

it ain't being broadcast here in NYC

[FlashHarry]

13. FoxNews Channel. Ugh.

They're co-sponsors, along with the Black Caucus.

[LosinIt]

14. foxnews, it's cable not fox network

[LastRobot]

16. WNYC 820AM out of NY

I'm listening to it now.

[Wwagsthedog]

17. faux news channel (FNC) on cable

Can't find a net source

[sweetladybug]

15. I can't bear to watch Fox so keep us posted on what is going on

[Wwagsthedog]

20. Its OK to watch this debate on faux. Honest

The Black Caucus is moderating without apparent interference.

[FlashHarry]

11. What the hell was that disruptor yelling?

I couldn't tell. I did like Graham's unequivocal 'yes,' though, when asked if Bush* intentionally misled the American people.

[Township75]

21. I heard Cheney's name mentioned, but couldn't make out anything else*

*

[pstokely]

18. how did Faux get the rights to this debate?

why are they even showing it?

[FlashHarry]

19. They're co-sponsoring it. N/T

[FlashHarry]

22. Britt Hume must be grinding his teeth down to stumps!

I love it! Contrary to earlier thought, the questions so far have been softballs that most candidates have hit out of the park!

[Wwagsthedog]

23. Someone just interupted joltin joe

brit hume said they were being hauled off. Then they gave joe a new clock so he could spout pro israelisms.

[baby_bear]

25. Some woman in the crowd kept yelling, where is LaRouche

I think it was Dean who said, I think he's in jail...

s_m

[FlashHarry]

24. FYI: Debunking the Saddam/9/11 link on MSNBC now

[FlashHarry]

26. What was Dean's Trent Lott comment?

Oh, great, another LaRouche disruptor...

[thom1102]

27. Asked if he thought that because he comes from

a state where African Americans are less than .5% of the population, could he connect with them. He said that if percentages of population determined your ability to connect with the people then Trent Lott would be Martin Luther King Jr.

[FlashHarry]

28. Really?

I'm guessing Mississippi has way more blacks than Vermont. Hmm.

[thom1102]

30. That was the point...

Just because you have a lot of black people in the state, doesn't mean you know how to connect with them.

[FlashHarry]

31. Duh. Sorry.

Nice quip.

[FlashHarry]

29. Dean's favorite song, a Wyclef Jean tune.

Hmm. Interesting. Poor Gephardt screwed up Springsteen's name. Sharpton: "Republican theme song, James Brown's 'Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothin."

[FlashHarry]

32. Whoops. Kerry said a president 'writes laws.'

I thought a president just signed or vetoed them.
