Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Jim Lehrer is going to throw his pen at someone's head before the night is over. My money is on Romney.

If he gets the spin right, he could pull the two-for-one ricochet.

Anyone watching CNN? I'm not following the squiggly line at the bottom of the screen. Who is it measuring? Up for Obama, down for Romney? Just on the person who's currently speaking?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow, so he's really ready to gut the safety net. Or at least he's talking that way.

I think so. It's a pithy line, it sums up his line of criticism on the role of government, and it blunts accusing him of trickle-down economics.

Yeah but it also echoes the "feel entitled to health care and food" line that hasn't really been playing well.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Not watching CNN. CNN pissed me off so I'm done with them for awhile.

Romney is treated Lehrer like Lehrer is one of his employees. WTF.

Wait. You're saying that Romney likes his employess?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think he's basically wrong, but still: good line.

I don't disagree. The people he wants to reach? Are going to like that.

No one's voice could ever, EVER nauseate me the way Dubya's voice did, so Romney has a leg up there.

But the words are worse. I didn't think it was possible. If I didn't know he was lying, I'd think he sounds like at least a choice. Well, if I only listened to him once. Clearly he says something different each time you pull the string.

Whoa, rage. Might need to watch this alone and pray I throw nothing through the screen.

I'm watching Supernatural. Because I'm not going to be swayed, I'm just going to be irritated and I have all of the news cycles tomorrow.

Also? I'M GOING TO BE IN AUSTRALIA WHEN THE ELECTION IS CALLED. That's better than my past habit of going to bed before the polls close.

I'm only watching because Isaac was assigned it. Otherwise I'd cut out. I'm not an undecided voter.

I don't think so. He's not talking about individuals there, but on the role of government within the economy.

Romney is not treating Lehrer like he likes him. He told him he would cut PBS funding.
