8:48:19 PM: Debate in 15.
8:49:57 PM: Well you know how it’s going to end.
8:50:04 PM: Obama will look smooth and McCain will look erratic.
8:50:06 PM: Game, set, match.
8:50:09 PM: Quid pro quo.
8:50:10 PM: QED.
(8:50:11 PM Kattni: You plan to watch it, right?)
8:50:20 PM: Natch.
(8:50:22 PM Kattni: Sweet. Then you will be my personal live blog. Watching Colbert. Funny shit.)
9:01:20 PM: I’ll catch it tomorrow morning.
9:01:22 PM: Getting ready to liveblog the second clash of Cool Hand Barack and Oldy McGrumpybriefs.
9:01:54 PM: Ohh is it Brokaw moderating.
9:03:39 PM: Drink every time McCain says “maverick”, “my friends”, or says “Obama doesn’t understand”.
9:05:09 PM: No, hellfire has rained down on us.
9:05:12 PM: Not prosperity.
9:07:05 PM: Yes let’s not raise taxes on anyone today.
9:07:10 PM: Let’s wait till after I’m elected.
9:07:27 PM: Then you’ll be stuck with me.
9:09:16 PM: Dude, McCain? People identify with Palin but that doesn’t make her qualified for shit.
9:09:32 PM: Oh ok he’s talking about a different broad, a former CEO.
9:09:45 PM: DOES SHE MAKE MOOSEBURGERS.
9:09:51 PM: The question on everyone’s mind.
9:10:31 PM: Yeah, something tends to “trickle down” but it’s not prosperity.
9:11:00 PM: I almost feel bad for McCain. He should definitely be better versed on the economy but it’s just bad luck that one of his weakest areas of knowledge exploded into the number one topic 2 months before election day. I’m glad because it means he’s screwed but man, what shitty luck.
9:11:58 PM: haha McCain is thinking “OH NO A BLACK MAN SHOULD I CALL HIM BROTHER”.
9:12:14 PM: “NOBODY TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE NEGROES HERE.”
9:12:30 PM: Hahaha.
9:12:52 PM: “You never even heard of them before this crisis [because you are black, what do you know about good financing?].”
9:13:29 PM: I should stop playing the race card.
9:13:36 PM: As hilarious as it is.
9:14:09 PM: Ahhh Obama shoots and scores.
9:14:16 PM: “Let me tell you what’s in this plan for you.”
9:14:41 PM: Hmm he’s going on the attack now.
9:14:57 PM: Re: deregulation.
9:15:50 PM: Yeah.
9:16:11 PM: It’s kinda boring.
9:16:18 PM: Maybe Obama’s attacking McCain hoping he will blow up.
9:16:20 PM: That’d be hilarious.
9:16:32 PM: Just watching a vein bulging in his neck getting bigger and bigger.
9:18:24 PM: Obama’s gotta watch that minute time limit.
9:18:38 PM: He’s doing ok content wise but he’ll look bad if he goes over too often.
9:18:54 PM: Good question…
9:19:08 PM: “How can we trust you when both parties got us into this financial crisis?”
9:19:47 PM: Obama’s talking about the inherited surplus vs. current deficit.
9:19:54 PM: Which is ok I guess…
9:19:57 PM: Yeah and deficit spending.
9:20:38 PM: Hmm he’s going over the minute limit again I think…
(9:21:02 PM Kattni: Don’t they have lights.. BLINKING.)
9:21:10 PM: Yeah but who’s gonna stop them.
9:21:20 PM: Brokaw doesn’t seem like he’s interrupting.
9:21:33 PM: Ok McCain is emphasizing bipartisanship.
9:21:38 PM: But that in itself is not a solution.
9:22:20 PM: I mean what good is bipartisanship if both parties are kind of… dumb.
9:22:34 PM: “Our plan has the power of TWO idiotic parties!”
9:22:49 PM: Ok, McCain on the attack.
9:22:56 PM: Ohhh he said “my friends”.
9:22:57 PM: DRINK
9:23:30 PM: Argh McCain’s energy plan.
9:23:37 PM: DRILL BABY DRILL.
9:23:42 PM: MORE NUCULAR PLANTS LOL.
9:23:57 PM: *steeples fingers*
9:24:01 PM: Eeeexcellent.
9:24:19 PM: Laaaaame.
9:24:41 PM: McCain was asked to prioritize between social security reform, energy policy, and some other thing and he’s like “We can work on all of them!”
9:24:46 PM: And now he’s talking bipartisanship again.
9:24:57 PM: You’re a broken record McCain, let’s hear what’s important to you.
9:25:20 PM: He said “my friends”.
9:25:26 PM: DRINK!
9:26:20 PM: Obama’s not setting a priority either but he’s following McCain’s lead I guess.
9:26:25 PM: He’s talking energy first.
9:26:47 PM: Goal: In 10 years time have the US be free from foreign oil.
9:26:53 PM: Ohhh he is prioritizing.
9:26:54 PM: Energy is 1.
9:26:56 PM: Health care is 2.
9:27:02 PM: Go Obama, I <3 you.
9:27:04 PM: 3 is education.
9:28:40 PM: Hmmm what sacrifices will they ask americans to make to restore our country blah blah.
9:29:45 PM: McCain: Cut defense spending(!!!), and nonspecific projects he is not being specific about, and enact a spending freeze.
9:29:47 PM: Across the board.
9:29:49 PM: Hmmm.
9:30:20 PM: Haha I love that.
9:30:29 PM: WE CAN SOLVE ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS EASY *BECAUSE WE ARE AMERICANS*.
9:30:41 PM: When in doubt play the America card.
9:31:42 PM: Obama: Is talking about leadership but not sacrifices, hrmm.
9:31:54 PM: And increased oil production.
9:32:32 PM: Incentives for American fuel efficient cars.
9:32:52 PM: I guess we’re being asked to conserve energy.
9:32:59 PM: He’ll make a volunteer peace corps.
9:33:06 PM: Ok that’s a sacrifice I guess if you join.
9:33:10 PM: =/
9:33:54 PM: Hmm no obvious gaffes or juicy soundbites here. =/
9:34:29 PM: Wait a second.
9:34:30 PM: Wait.
9:34:32 PM: (From TTB:)
JOHN McCain YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FIX HEALTH CARE AND PROMOTE ENERGY INDEPENDENCE WITH A SPENDING FREEZE IN PLACE.
