The Democrat Debates
I stopped watching the Democrat presidential “debates” a couple of months ago. No one was paying me to endure the torture of sitting through them for more than 30 minutes; so I decided to let the professionals, who get compensated for their suffering, watch the darn things.
Apparently the professionals have had enough too, as Opinion Journal’s James Taranto illustrates:
Forgive us, but we’re not sure we can take any more of these Democratic debates. We started watching yesterday’s eight-man show (sans Lieberman) in Iowa (with Johns Kerry and Edwards checking in via satellite from Washington) but just got exhausted. For about an hour our TiVo has been paused 34 minutes into the two-hour event; John Edwards is frozen on the screen in a goofy pose with his tongue hanging halfway out of his mouth. It’s not exactly an inspiring sight, but we just can’t go on. Maybe later.
BTW, if you don’t have TiVo, you’re still living in the 20th century. I’m a huge TiVo fan. I even performed brain surgery on mine to increase its recording time.
