Presidential Debate, Politics Aside
I kind of listened to the presidential debate last night while I was doing something else. I don’t usually watch or listen to them because they don’t typically tell me anything new or they are just uncomfortable to watch.
But I thought the best part of the debate was listening to Tom Brokaw trying to keep the candidates in line to the format and time allocations. He had to get testy with them a couple times and even then I think they just did pretty much what they wanted. And Brokaw just kept trying to keep them focused.
I wasn’t looking at the TV so I couldn’t see Brokaw’s face but his voice was clearly tinged with frustration at times. I can just hear Brokaw thinking, I retired so I wouldn’t have to deal with this crap. This is worse than trying to get teenagers to focus on something for two minutes at a time.
Of course at times some of the answers seemed almost to defy response. Again I can hear Brokaw thinking that great line from Adam Sandler’s ”Billy Madison”: “Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Hey, that kind of sounds like this blog…
