ROFL! I can’t tell if I should adore you for your brutal honesty, or whether you are a trolling genius. :)

No trolling intended. The expression was taken from the title of a movie about inner city street gangs. But the point is that we shouldn’t let fears of the potential, and I emphasize potential because I doubt seriously there would be any riots, of inner city youths rioting affect our efforts to defeat Obama at the polls. On the off chance that there should be riots–they can be dealt with. What we have to concentrate on is beating Obama at the polls. That is job number one.

Don’t worry about the “boys in the ‘hood” rioting–they can be put down–tear gas, rubber and lead bullets, and water cannon work real good at taking care of that problem.

She has no business handling the debate if she’s that biased. It’d be no different if she was writing a pro McCain book. Neither should be in charge of the debate.

They ought to stop pretending these are debates. In a debate, people read their position statements and then have at each other.

These staged interviews are tedious reminders the politicians all want cover

If there is a discussion of the Ifill situation in the minutes before the debate Palin gets a kick start
