I watched last night’s “debate” with horror. As you probably know by now, nearly the entire first hour was taken up by bullshit questions about lapel pins, bitterness, Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers nonsense. But they did manage to carve out a minute from their televised circus to discuss gas prices for sixty seconds. I would have rather listened to a real discussion on the horrible treatment of vets, the economic crisis, China’s human rights record, trade deals, h1B visas, renewable energy, the tap on my phone, the plummeting dollar and a solution to health care just to name a few.
Anyway, I didn’t know which strip to choose, so I am publishing them all. You get to decide which is best.

Part 1 is definitely the most clever. Interesting to see how upset Obama supporters get when their candidate is actually.. asked questions. FYI, by any measure (number of words, number of minutes, etc.), two things are true of the debate: (1) Obama was given the most time to speak, (2) the majority of the time was spent on policy questions. Also true – Hillary fielded first answer on all but one of the joint questions – and Obama followed up on her answers the way he usually does: “What she said.”
