Annoying

Well, look, I really - uh - hated this stupid debate. Schieffer fought valiantly to be as bad as Gibson and Ifill and largely succeeded. Obama was maddeningly boring as he stuck to his rope-a-dope strategy and refused to confront McCain. McCain at least grappled and attacked, though I suppose the most entertaining feature was trying to find six differences between his head and the Great Pumpkin - that and wondering whether his head was going to explode.

The big gooey puffballs Schieffer served up didn't challenge either candidate's talking points with anything as disreputable as a specific, though McCain did a better job of getting his foot stuck to his ear in them.

My grades for the debate:

  • McCain - dance -> 5 looks-> -5
  • Obama - dance ->2, looks ->9
