7 p.m. ET on MSNBC. You’re our eyes and ears. If you see something clipworthy, shoot us an e-mail. We shouldn’t want for highlights, as they can’t be possibly be prepared for the withering fire they’ll be taking from a man with a guest list like this. I predicted last month that he’d attack from the left but in hindsight that seems silly. The waterboy would never put down his bucket long enough to throw them a hardball. Possible opening question: “When, precisely, do you think the president should resign?”
Update (Bryan): I’m not going to liveblog the debate, but at 7:21 Richardson said he’d fire a whole bunch of government lawyers for political reasons (union busting or something like that). Isn’t that what the Democrats are accusing Bush of doing — firing government lawyers for political reasons?
Update: Zzzzzzz.

Those people are so nuts, it’s scary. They really must not be capable of rational thought.

so i did my drive-by observation and there’s nothing much to see around soldier feild, so i swung back around to that perpetual picket i mentioned earlier outside the congress hotel.
i spoke with an organizer named victorio who confirmed to me that not one of the candidates had joined their picket that day.
after that bizzarre and strident contest of picket envy, the candidates were each a no-show. one can possibly except edwards who showed up during ykos, but i think it’s most telling that MISTER LABOR, dennis kucinnich, isn’t nearly as authenticly committed to labor rights as his talk would suggest, while the one democratic who did make an appearance was the least authentic of the democratics, and did so as a photo-op last weekend for the benefit of the all-white, all-white-collar blogging community.
on another note, i was thinking further about the conspicuously missing illegal immigration question. the more i think about it, the more it seems likely that the question was scrubbed long prior to the event by the more radical labor factions like the seiu and “unite here”. i think these guys are creepier than obama or any of the candidates anyway.

In that second clip, who’s the short squatty one third from the left?

My favorite question in the debate was when a union worker who works for insulating buildings to make them energy efficient asked one of the candidates (Edwards, maybe?) that some of the corporations don’t want to make their buildings energy-efficient, and therefore don’t use his union’s services. So he wants to ask what he will do as President to help force companies to use energy-efficient insulation in their buildings. In other words, to force companies to hire him and his union to do work for them! If only I could force companies to use my services!!

Another friggin debate? Good lord, what are these people thinking???
Glad I missed it actually. Of course, I can’t remember the last time any of my tvs were on MSNBC.

I was hoping someone would ask Hillary where she stood on Reparations. Funny, but that issue never seems to come up around election time.

P.S. One thing that’s bad about the net and presidential campagnes; no one needs to shell out money for T.V. and radio ads, they just myspace, youtube, blog it, etc.

In the clip above, Olby tells Obama that he will have the last word, and then he goes to Hillary. What a dork.
Hillary says that candidates shouldn’t engage in hypotheticals. What a dope. The whole campaign is hypotheticals. BTW, does that mean that Supreme Court nominees shouldn’t engage in hypotheticals also?
OT: The f*cking, lying, piece of sh*t, cheating, bast*rd Barry Bonds just hit 756. I’ve got the mute on so I don’t have to hear his “speech.” Boy, he sure looks sincere though. /eyeroll

Impressive as the intellectual fireworks may be here, I find myself oddly fixated on the thought of Hillary’s cleavage.

Yeah, but you gotta award some contortionist degree of difficulty, and style points for being able to shove his foot down his throat, while his head is shoved firmly up his @ss.
Not to say that’s a rare skill in D.C.

No matter which one of these Tinkerbells gets nominated, at least 46% of the electorate will vote for him/her.
THAT’S the scary part.

Obamas’ “presidential eloquence” in pronouncing Pakistan, Pahkistan.

I don’t understand the logic of Hilary being booed in the clip. Can someone help me out?
It’s somewhat upsetting to me as I thought I listened to the left well, but I fear I’ve missed some recent turn in moonbattery.

I hate her forced smile.

Oh, wow! She said “actionable intelligence,” referring to the past??? I thought she now thinks it was ‘BAD’ intelligence? Hmmmmm… Oh, the conundrums.
