From “ohigotchya,” who’s already proven his knack for deconstructing CNN train wrecks, comes this impressionist rendering of last night’s derailment. If only it had been this entertaining.

Ha, that was great!
Wonder who the baby was looking at?

Funny vid, but if the baby had been watching the debate, he’d been crying.
Spirit of 1776 on July 24, 2007 at 10:03 PM
I didn’t expect that level of intellectual honesty from a Democratic debate. Maybe I’ll watch the next one.
Not.

What, no Atheistic Rage Boy? I’m Outraged!
BKennedy on July 24, 2007 at 10:12 PM
HA, that was pretty good.
RightWinged on July 24, 2007 at 10:20 PM
The baby is laughing at all of them.
If those Libs had their way, that precious child could have been aborted only a few scant months ago.
Babies laughter….one of the most precious sounds God has blessed us to hear!
SouthernPride on July 24, 2007 at 10:21 PM
Yep you are correct. That baby was laughing and saying…”Didn’t get me did you suckers?”
conservnut on July 24, 2007 at 10:29 PM
Maybe that WAS atheistic rage boy, ya’ think?

…too bad that clean slate and purity of heart & soul doesn’t last forever, but 60 seconds with a happy toddler is a great reminder

Fantastic!

Ok, so I was watching the “G4″ channel (hey, Ninja Warrior was about to come on) and the scrawny faux-geek host and the empty-headed big-chest girl was talking to a socially awkward woman writer from Wired.com, and some scruffy, smug hipster pr!ck from some tech site about the YouTube debates. Chesty asks about the Republican YT debate coming up in September, and Host Guy opines something useless, followed by Scruffy who effects his most condescending sneer and says he “can’t wait” to see Rudy and Co. choke and lose face because “Republicans don’t understand technology,” “haven’t embraced the Web,” etc etc. Host Guy drools a bit and closes with a breathless “me too!”
Last I checked, every candidate has a website, most have blogs, Fred’s blog is great and actually written by him, they’re using MySpace and other networking sites, and the Dem blogs & sites are nothing special. But nope, down in the Valley or wherever this latte-slurping net.faker hangs out, “Republican” is just some bizarro species from the non-coastal areas, somewhere around where Children of the Corn took place. Thanks a lot, scruff-boy, for reminding me why I’ve been unable to read Slashdot for the last four years.

Isn’t Rudy’s entire domestic agenda basically premised on using database technology to track just about everything, in real time, in order to help accomplish government goals in both the immediate short term, as well as the long term? Sure, maybe he doesn’t know the nitty gritty details about how such things work, but he gets the importance of having information available at one’s fingertips at any time it is needed. Isn’t that what the “technology” they speak of is all about?
P.S. Both Rudy and Fred have hosted radio call-in programs, which are really just the old-fashioned version of youtube. I would not bet against them in the “interactive debate” format.

Good rant. Dang I’m glad I have never heard (until now) of something called the G4 channel.
RushBaby on July 25, 2007 at 1:16 AM
Sorry, I know it was kind of off-topic. I just saw the clip and I had to let off some steam. G4 isn’t an inherently political channel - they’re what’s left of the TechTV channel before they were re-targeted to the MTV crowd. Now there’s very little “tech” involved, unless you care what Maxim models think about XBox games. And they show re-runs of COPS and “The Man Show.” Huh?
Back on topic, cute youtube remix. Can’t wait to see what kinds of wacky moonbat questions are submitted, and let through by CNN, for the Repub version.
Hannibal Smith on July 25, 2007 at 1:31 AM
Sums it up good!
Kini on July 25, 2007 at 1:31 AM
Big S:
I agree - both Rudy and Fred (if he ever gets around to declaring) have more human appeal than most, if not all, of the Dem field, and have shown the ability to think on their feet. The only Dem I’d fear in this area is Obama, owing to his ultra-slick delivery, but if Clinton, Inc. does their job, no Republican will ever debate him.
But of course the real joke here is that there’s nothing “interactive” about the YouTube gimmick. As Rush and countless others (including, I think, our own gracious host here at Hot Air) have said, it’s all about CNN being able to disclaim responsibility for airing ridiculous questions and (when September comes) wacky moonbat talking points. “Hey, we’re just channeling the voice of ‘The People!’”
Many have said it, but these aren’t debates, they’re stage(d) auditions. And if the voting public is merging with the American Idol viewership, we’re in trouble.
Hannibal Smith on July 25, 2007 at 1:44 AM
There’s nothing funny about this billion dollar spending spree folks. It’s your hipster “one dollar, one vote America.” teeheeee

When you party celebrates infanticide then logic dictates that liberal
politicians only have children as props. So, they where all thinking, hey whose prop is that? Should I smile? Where is planned parenthood on this?
TheSitRep on July 25, 2007 at 6:16 AM
That’s the level of questions that the democrats feel comfortable with.
right2bright on July 25, 2007 at 8:03 AM
Ironic.
The political party that supports the deaths of more infants than any other organization, army or plague in history.
Hening on July 25, 2007 at 8:35 AM
That was pretty funny!
4shoes on July 25, 2007 at 8:38 AM
yep.
i was wondering why they didn’t put the “don’t ask don’t tell” question to the candidates, since that was the clinton whitehouse’s policy.

Hilarious

Hannibal Smith is 100% right. The people that run G4 are West Coast Lefty millionaires that happily use their advertising-sponsored TV show to push their sociopolitical agenda onto American males aged 16-34 by hiring nothing but West Coast Lefty wannabe millioniare writers, editors, and hosts.
So when will a Republican with money be smart enough to fund a competing TV show that targets the potentially more affluent (and, some would argue, larger) politically conservative/libertarian audience?
Republicans did great on terrestrial talk radio, but that’s for Baby Boomers with their errectile dysfunctions and osteoporosis. When are Republican millionaires gonna figure out how to make money off TV/Internet advertising, take an educated risk with their considerable fortunes, and put up the money to create a new media market that could sustain for the next few decades?

Maybe they should have played this instead, just to give Howard Dean sitting in the audience that warm fuzzy nostalgic feeling: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jBGR2I6pFYk

Must have made a new Democrat in his diaper. Which would be more qualified then anyone on that stage.
