Obama-McCain: I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow

Shockingly Tom Brokaw has rejected Bill Kristol’s internet-submitted question. Typical MSM bias. Fair play to the plucky folks at Fox however, they’re doing their best to best to suggest that Obama is less-American than a flesh-eating Muslim eskimo. Or something like that. Fred Barnes, a shit who aspires to being something more anatomical than that, suggests McCain needs to “do a Sarah Palin”… God help us all. Anyway kids, here we go again…

Final Verdict: I’ve been a little harsh on Obama. He won this debate. When even Karl Rove can’t make a great case for McCain then you know the game is over. And, again, Obama looked and came across as a President whereas McCain seemed like, as I say. a cranky wee man who’d been dropped from the bowling club’s first team and considered this a vast. world-changing injustice.

Instant verdict: a no-score draw. Boring and dull and platitudinous. No heavy punches landed.
