:shrug:

[hatrack]

2. Has "9/11" been said yet?

I'd give it about three minutes, tops.

[Adelante]

4. This is the first Dirtbag Debate I'm watching

I just saw a poll, btw, where Huckleberry is leading in Iowa.

[Auntie Bush]

11. Me too! Wow! Thompson is looking terrible...in fact scary!

The closeups are a little tooooo close. I'd hate to be under those spot lights and camera.

I didn't vote for him, but I have no complaints.

[Renew Deal]

12. I thought that was a good answer by Huckabee - to the scholarship question for Illegal's children.nm

13. Eight white men with too much make up join the circus...

Snowmen, clowns and singers open the frackus. Makeup professionals fired when the lights go on.

OMG.. seriously, this is horrible ! Look at those guys humping all over each other, not making ANY sense.. then take a look at OUR GUYS ! Hands down, there is not one old fart on that stage (even movie star Mitt) who could beat ANY of our wonderful candidates.

And once again, CNN & the audience makes them ALL look like clowns. Its group suicide.

15. Huckabee and Paul are kicking ass and taking names

Both are Repugs hellbent on delusion, but it is amusing to hear their followers.

There might be a fight in the parking lot after the debate.

16. So I flipped over to the debate after Countdown

and, I should be embarrassed to admit this, but I don't recognize all these guys. Like the one who just said he'd "pray to JeSUS to do the right thing."

Oh, dear God, I was about to hit "post" when some clown came on waving a Bible and asking "Do you believe every word of this book."

17. Did anyone notice Ron Paul's painted eyebrows?

It appears everyone on stage had eyebrow liner applied to their eyebrows. And it all looked good in for the cameras under the glare of the floodlights.

Except for Ron Paul.

Someone in makeup at the CNN studio appears to have deliberately sabotaged Ron Paul by painting his eyebrows too dark and completely cockeyed, not even close to tracing the natural lines of his eyebrows.
