Drunkblogging the Dem Debate
Top-shelf coverage from Vodkapundit, until the bar runs out:
7:13pm (All times, as always, Mountain) We’re kicking off a little late here in the VodkaCompound, as Melissa’s roast was especially good. And by that I mean we had to open a second bottle of wine.
Charlie Gibson is looking especially serious with his glasses way down on his nose, and George Snufflefagus always looks cute in his Big Boy haircut. And now, on to the debate. ABC has decide to play it semi-YouTube, with video from the candidates stump speeches. I think they’d get better ratings if instead they flashed Eliot Spitzer’s phone records or maybe stills from that Marilyn Monroe Sex tape. Anyway — onward.
7:14pm Speaking of ratings, is there one person anywhere who still cares what Mario Cuomo thinks? Why is Gibson using him as the basis for his opening question?
OK, you can upend that shot glass, or you can go for the near beer. NYT’s coverage is notable mainly for the naughty Renaissance Hotel ad alongside the copy, where you can drag the curtain back to reveal a woman in skimpy lingerie. At least, that’s what they had up when I went there. Good luck!
This one’s kind of fun, despite the slant. The Nation: Democrats Debate Republican Talking Points.
This breathless update from AP is sort of like the diner scene in “When Hillary Debated Obama.”
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said emphatically Wednesday night that Barack Obama can win the White House this fall, undercutting her efforts to deny him the Democratic presidential nomination by suggesting he would lead the party to defeat. “Yes, yes, yes,” she said when pressed about Obama’s electability during a campaign debate six days before the Pennsylvania primary.

So, in the world according to AP, the most important thing that Hillary said all night is something positive about her opponent? Something she had to be “pressed” to say, and obviously only said in the interest of party unity?
Yeah, baby, that’s news.
