I Wasn't Going to Live Blog the Debate...

Posted by Emily Farris

 

... but then I kept updating my Facebook status, so I figured I might as well have just been live blogging, so at 9:51 I gave up on Facebook and switched over to Scanner. As many of these comments were originally meant for my close circle of 471 friends, you might be offended. Get over it. Or don't click through. Either way, Scanner Brian will most likely bring you real political commentary in the morning. I talk quite a bit about McCain's pin stripes...they were bad, real bad.

 

Blue dress red dress. 10:32pm

Well, I'm glad one man can organize his thoughts in a way all Americans can understand. And I believe him, too. 10:31pm

Fundamental change. 10:29pm

I wish you could see me doing my John McCain chuckle impression right now... And I want to talk more about vouchers!!!! 10:27pm

All Americans will open their hearts and wallets to to help find a cure for Autism? That'd be great, but... 10:25pm

Perhaps it's time McCain gets dentures... 10:20pm

Is that tution credit retroactive, Senator Obama? Because I have $50,000 in unpaid student loans. Probably more now with interest. 10:18pm

Let's put all those pro-life-born babies into the education system we can't afford! Yay! 10:17pm

Was that McCain just breathing really loudly? Coughing fit! Coughing fit! Please! 10:15pm

There's no "Pro Abortion movement," Mr. McCain. Pro choice, you mean? 10:13pm

Obama couldn't have voted against Justices Bryer and Roberts... right? Didn't he mean Alito? 10:09pm

I guess I can now stop writing as if I'm updating my Facebook status.....

Would like John McCain and his politics (and his Supreme Court Nominees, I don't believe him!) to stay far, far, far away from my reproductive system.10:07pm

Yes, because two years in Congress are so much more powerful than eight years in the White House? 10:06pm

Poor Joe. He's a busy guy. 10:05pm

Senator Government? 10:05pm

This is the first time I've ever watched anything in HD on an HD TV and I'm totally distracted by the pin stripes. So distracted that I can't really follow McCain's train of thought. 10:05pm

$5,000 doesn't go so far when it comes to health insurance. 10:02pm

Yes, Obama, I do exist. Love, Joe the Plumber. 10:00pm

Is Joe the Plumber also Joe Six Pack? 10:00pm

Joe the plumber again? 9:59pm

Herbert Hoover? You might as well have said "And the Magna Carta." 9:56pm

Senator Obama has never traveled south of the border? Me neither! 9: 52pm

Emily also, I can't believe how high the men's line went up when McCain talked about Palin. 9:52pm

Emily is wondering what's wrong with John McCain's eyes? Is the Devil trying to burn through? 9:50p

Emily thinks pinstripes do not look good in HD. 9:48pm

Emily thinks John McCain's feelings are hurt. Boo. Wishes he would break into a coughing fit. 9:34pm

Emily is wonders what Joe the plumber has to say about all this. 9:12pm

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the spike for men when he mentioned Palin!  Do they really like her, or is it just that they want to fuck her? I'm not being sarcastic, I just really do not understand.

Um....they want to fuck her. Some have to clothe it in jibberish about her opinions or her brave stance on blahblahblah, but the upswept + the glasses = librarian. If she hadn't been a beauty contestant, she wouldn't be here.
