Worst. Debate. Ever.

Off the bat, I must admit that I didn’t watch the debate but after reading some of the outraged reactions on the Intertubes, I had to read the transcript. Let me say folks, I could not stomach it. For a Cliff Notes version, please read Will Bunch’s blow by disgusting blow commentary. See, just fucking awful.

This travesty of a “debate” was every bit as bad as advertised. Seriously, do we, as a nation, need to know Obama’s philosophical stand on flag lapel pins? Or more directly, what the fuck do fashion accessories have to do with one’s ability to be President? This shameful episode highlighted everything that is wrong with our national discourse; stupidity, banality, and shameless sensationalism with commercial breaks. Because above all else, the Mouse must get paid.

Tom Shales may have put it best in the title of his Post column, “In Pa. Debate, The Clear Loser Is ABC”. Indeed.
