The Vice-Presidential Debate

Thirty minutes into the VP debate, I think I've identified a pattern.

Gwen Ifill: "Mr. Vice President, question."

Cheney: "Talking points having nothing to
do with the question."

Edwards: "You're misrepresenting the facts."

Cheney: "No, YOU'RE misrepresenting the facts.
And John Kerry is consistently on the wrong
side of defense."

Ifill: "Senator Edwards, question."

Edwards: "Talking points having nothing to
do with the question."

Cheney: "You're misrepresenting the facts.
And John Kerry is consistently on the wrong
side of defense."

Edwards: "No, YOU'RE misrepresenting the
facts."

(Repeat ad nauseam.)

Bring back the League of Women Voters, already, so we can have actual debates again!
