I am sure that Rush gave it to her. But since it was not a contest to the death, with one dead at the end, anyone can opine on who won. And funny how that works, where the Repugs all said that she won. Do we have an impartial judge who declares at the end of a debate who won?

Thought Bush won the debate with Gore. The only reason IMO Gore was sighing was, he couldn't believe that an idiot like Bush is actually sharing the stage in a Presidential debate.

For instance,
when you reveal to them that the earth is round, take careful note of their eyes and ears ......right about the time you start to see their eyes glaze over and their ears begin to emit steam, add that the earth is round like a pizza. (Warning: if you don't time it right things can get messy!)

I did not know this.



Did you know if we cut all welfare and forced people to steal instead they'd end up in prison where they belong?

I did not know this.

My head hurts from the things I'm hearing. They're on full "kill the social net" mode now.

Say it ain't so, Joe.

She's so crafty. Wily. Like a fucking Einstein ninja. Millennia before her time.

Or was that Idiocracy?

CNN and MSNBC said otherwise. I was watching all three at the same time when this happened. And they mainly called it her win because she did not answer any question posed to her, called Biden - Joe, so she could say, "You bet'cha, Joe."

You can watch the debate yourself and you will see how vapid she was. She made no valid answer, it was a bit depressing.
