Second verse, same as the first. 2 p.m. ET, carried live on Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN, and livestreamed right here at the Des Moines Register website. Even if, like me, you’re inclined to skip it after yesterday’s fiasco, tune in for the first five minutes to see if Nurse Ratched has been replaced and whether Iraq and immigration are still off the table.
While you wait, read this. Another day, another clumsy Clinton mouthpiece.
Update: Dear god, they’re using the same moderator.
Update: By special request of the boss, the line of the day.
Update (Bryan): I have to agree with commenter JVelez, that clip is pwnage for Obama.

It’s BIG DRUGs fault – O’Rookie
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:24 PM
All they are talking about is health care and the occasional swipe at the war in Iraq.
Now open statements
Obama first

mandatory phys ed….but noooooooooooo dodge ball
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:24 PM
There are less candidates on stage, though.
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:24 PM
They are all going over their time and not a word from the moderator. Bias.

Our planet’s in peril! – O’Rookie

Silky’s hair looks great.

Slip
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Does Edwards have something in his eye??
heatherrc77 on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Silky is blinky today. He’s blinking at a rate that would even make Pelosi jealous.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Edwards talking about the middle class and corporate greed. Isn’t the middle class who he used to sue while a trial lawyer on his way to making his millions. Of course he is an individual not a corporation.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
I’ve noticed the gap and difference also
I think the libs are just playing space invaders with that dial. :)
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Edwards want to eliminate the companies that provides all those Americna jobs he’s promising.
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Wow! Moderator lady is giggling like a schoolgirl for Silky!
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Silky stumbled!
infidel on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Or is he flirting with the camera with all that blinkin??
heatherrc77 on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Eliminate the war? Is that what Biden said?
christophercube on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Moderaptor has a hillary cackle.
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:26 PM
My screen froze and Edwards looked like he was about to get a facial. Appropriate. What a ninny.
RW Wacko on December 13, 2007 at 2:27 PM
They’re trying to rescue Kucinich from the aliens.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:27 PM
First thought that came to my mind also
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:27 PM
Nice blathering on about nothing, Obama’s got a plan! if you can call having no plan a plan
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Where are the slaves?
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Richardson actually sounds rational.
infidel on December 13, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Globalist rhetoric from Richardson.
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:28 PM
Maybe the moderators evil twin was unavailable. What a switch.
christophercube on December 13, 2007 at 2:29 PM
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:27 PM
Heh, He is missing
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Dodd invokes memories of the Carter presidency. Sorry but I would rather hear about the Reagan presidency.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:29 PM
how do you enforce human rights in another country? You can’t even do it with Mexico, how do you do it in China?
sunny on December 13, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Security = talking about human rights!!! Bwahaha!
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Raptor is hitting on the Pony.
infidel on December 13, 2007 at 2:29 PM
The moderator is giving them time to finish their answers. She’s laughing. She isn’t cutting them off. The bias is amazing. I’ll bet the editorials from that newspaper are opposite of their editorials about the Republican debate.
tanmany2k on December 13, 2007 at 2:30 PM
Edwards has turned from a Silky Pony to a One Trick Pony. Corporate greed.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:30 PM
If there were profits, I bet silky’s Maytag plant would have remained opened.
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:30 PM
She is actually blushing! bwahahahahah!!!
heatherrc77 on December 13, 2007 at 2:30 PM
Kucinich didn’t qualify – not sure why not
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:30 PM
He Edwards …export lawyers to China
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:30 PM
no campaign office in Iowa except in some ones house
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:31 PM
Let’s see how Hillary wants to “change” Nafta…
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:31 PM
Is it just me, or did it sound like he was saying there was slave labor and child labor going on here in the U.S.
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:31 PM
Un employment is hovering at 5%, how can it get any lower? This is a non issue and just being used as scare tactices. Hey maybe if they got rid of some illegal immigrants then the remaing 5% of Americans could have a job.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:31 PM
Subsidize Maytag
sunny on December 13, 2007 at 2:31 PM
…ah, she’ll go to the international community.
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:32 PM
Irony how she ‘will’ review. Hey, you are a legislator, you have the power.
Spirit of 1776 on December 13, 2007 at 2:32 PM
tanmany2k on December 13, 2007 at 2:30 PM
It’s a very liberal editorial board
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:32 PM
Why do we run every body else’s environmental policy..they don’t like the UN maybe
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:32 PM
Hillz: “We don’t want to be the trade patsies of the world”
HA! Hey Hillz, are you up to speed on the softwood lumber file at all? Kee-ripes.

Hey….where’s the UFO dude?
UFO,UFO,UFO!

O’Rookie: Guantanamo gives us less leverage in trade!

wedgie shot
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:34 PM
Richardson’s graph numbers started going up as soon as he mentioned Iraq
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:34 PM
Oh goody, Richardson acknowledges that the Iraq war is the most important issue. But wait for it … he slags the VA system and then says its the number one issue. Nice navel gazing there Dembot.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:35 PM
Is everything related to the war? My goodness I have never heard such a long program which blames all of the ills of America on one thing. Geez they connect the war to everything except stemming the flow of radical Islam and establishing some sort of democratic reforms in the heart of the Muslim world.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:36 PM
Wait–that would mean Iowans are still interested in hearing what the candidates think on Iraq! Moderator lady said yesterday Iowans don’t care because they already know what all the candidates think about Iraq.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:36 PM
we’re in trouble if any of these idiots get as far as POTUS.
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:36 PM
Government control on cars rather than consumer choice
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:36 PM
Iraq, Gitmo, evil Bush, This Administration, any left loon talking point the meter goes way up , sharply!
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:37 PM
Let them buy their econo box so I can have my type of car
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:37 PM
Nice job (not) with the lighting for this event – Richardson’s flabby folds are well set off by the shadows. Clearly an amateur hour event by professional teevee standards.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:38 PM
I am real sensitive to air conditioning here in AZ-don’t mess with it.
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:38 PM
Brazil has 8 billion find and it looks like another 21 billion right next to it…joint ventures idiots
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:38 PM
Already happening, Houston City Council passed a statute to make all Cabs hybrid’s or 4 cylinders by ‘09
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:38 PM
yeah I’m hearing a lot of Blame America in this “debate”
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:38 PM
Dodd’s skin around his eyeballs remind me of Nancy the salt monster from Star Trek TOS. Care for some salt, Chris?
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:39 PM
“Auction of pollution permits”!!
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Do these people ever talk about fuel cells for local home power????
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Like I’ve said before, they’re welcome to sterilize themselves and drive around in tin-can deathtraps if that makes them feel better. In the end, they’ll exterminate themselves and we’ll simply outnumber them.
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Hill’s energy plan, tax the Oil Companies and tax ‘em good
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:39 PM
TAX, TAX, TAX. (Clinton)
infidel on December 13, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Hillary wants to take money again.
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Tax, sacrifice, tough, toil, cost,……vote for me and a bright future!
Limerick on December 13, 2007 at 2:40 PM
Oh no Hillary talking about when she was a little girl. Uh Hill you were in college when the space race was in full swing. She was talking about her 5th grade teacher.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:40 PM
When they say they will force Kennedy to look at wind mills I might quit laughing
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:40 PM
The focus group is not really going wild for Hillary. They seem kinda lukewarm. Obama too!
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:40 PM
Yes, we can sustain our energy, Clinton! if we drill for our own resources!
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:40 PM
govt control instead of consumer choice…again and again
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:41 PM
raise energy prices to make wind viable. Perfect
sunny on December 13, 2007 at 2:41 PM
Edwards again, corporate greed again.
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:41 PM
O’Rookie brags that he chastized the auto workers…oy
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:41 PM
Rushbaby
Joint ventures on those Brazil fields
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM
Nurse Ratched letting them go way past 60 seconds on most of these answers. And she’s laughing frequently. No wedgie today?
aero on December 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM
It’s not just an energy crisis, it’s a moral crisis – Silky
RINO_Hunter on December 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM
Silky blames power plants! (not hillary’s)
infidel on December 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM
Not in our back yard, but we have better control of our destiny
CommentGuy on December 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM
Smart A$$ B____
abinitioadinfinitum on December 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM
See what I told you! Hands!
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:42 PM
that was dumb
sunny on December 13, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Edwards: Be patriotic about something other than the war! You’re neither moral nor a patriot unless you’re concerned about the environment!
RushBaby on December 13, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Yak!
Limerick on December 13, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Hill takes jab at Repubs not raising hand on global warming Speakss for all when she says WE ALL BELIEVE!
LakeRuins on December 13, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Cuz rasing your hand means you care.
geckomon on December 13, 2007 at 2:43 PM
There we go – Hillary attempting to control the ‘debate’ once again. When the plants can’t do the deed, she’ll get in the dirt and give it a go.
notta_dhimmi on December 13, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Iowa = 10% of the fertile land in the world?????
AZCON on December 13, 2007 at 2:43 PM
