Tom Brokow was the moderator of this one.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I know, I saw Gibson in the commentary after.
Unrelated - thank you ita. I am not sure I can like that character, so I'll take it on as a challenge.

My favorite bits from the debate watch-n-post at Clusterstock:
anamariecox: i love it when politicians compare the gov't budget to family budgets. Because, you know, recently my husband started a war that only the dogs voted for. But I gave a speech!
FishbowlNY: McCain suddenly is able to multi-task! Health care, entitlements, employment. Obama should ask if McCain will suspend any of these.
RachelSklar: "You know, a lot of you remember the tragedy of 9/11." Um, yeah, thanks for that reminder.
Comment From Camel54]: If [McCain] knows how to get Bin Laden, why hasn't he shared that info with the current administration?
PeterFeld: Camel54 - because he's a maverick
RachelSklar: I love that naked aggression, nailing jello, and carrying a big stick are all integral parts of this debate.
RachelSklar: McCain: "I think what I don't know is what all of us don't know."
Rex Sorgatz: McCain: "How many houses I have."
[Comment From J.W.]: They should treat this format like the Holocaust....Never again

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hee. I know RachelSklar. We worked together on a political musical sketch comedy show three years ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am not sure I can like that character, so I'll take it on as a challenge.
However it turns out I know you're up to the challenge of giving it a shot.
90210 is making me regret I haven't been to Hollywood Forever in a few years. Next summer, for sure.

Always Anti-fascist!
Town halls blow. No wonder McCain likes them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I drank a WHOLE BOTTLE of wine. And then I said terrible things. And if I have a job on Monday, it will be a freaking MIRACLE.
My tongue is numb.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I had a rehearsal so grumpy-inducing that I actually wish I'd stayed home to watch the rest of the debate.

Holy ass. I think my physicists have had a bit too much as well. Way too jolly.
