They think you’re stupid
That’s the only conclusion I can draw from the ridiculous tabloidesque piece of street theater that is laughably called a “debate” last night. It resembled more a three-on-one handicap steel-cage match than a reasoned debate on the issues — with the refs acting as two thirds of the three man tag team.
And quite deservedly, the backlash ABC has received on their shoddy performance has been quite extensive. One person who commented over at First Read (MSRNC’s political blog) had a good idea:
The Saturday Night Live skit would be VERY appropriate now. Perhaps they could have George telling Charlie, “Charlie, you continue taking a tire iron to Obama’s knees while I run and get the brilliant wonder junior Senator from New York a beer and a shot.”
The only thing I would add to that is SNL should depict Stephanopoulos with Sean Hannity’s hand up his butt.
