ABC News took the Presidential debate train to Philadelphia last night for yet another debate between Hillary and Obama. Hosts Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos turned it into an exercise in stupidity. There were exactly zero questions on health care, the financial crisis, Afghanistan (remember that?), immigration, global climate change, or terrorism. Instead, ABC's intrepid "journalists" asked the candidates for leader of the free world about Jeremiah Wright (3 questions!), small town "bitterness," Tuzla airport, and freaking lapel pins. Daily Kos calls it the collapse of the national press.
Watch the hacks get booed.

I'm so happy I can comment on this because I actually watched it (I flipped from it and a repeat of WWE Raw, which do you think was more entertaining?) Anyway, Sam, I completely agree with you.
Plus, what was with the weird topic jumping. It was like Obama would say, "And that's how I'm going to end the war." And George Snuffulufagus would jump in "And affirmative action, what about that?" And Obama would look all like, "um, are we not talking about the war anymore?"
It was all very strange.
Exactly, and where on earth did affirmative action come from? What is this, 1992? Is that really something that the voters of Penn. are hot and heavy about? i doubt it. The Supreme Court basically settled that question in 1999.
It was so annoying and hideous I couldn't even watch it. And I LIVE for debates!
