In regards to last nights “debate”(which I did not watch because my contempt for this sort of cartoon WWF version of politics grows by the hour) - I think those of you who are complaining about how unfair it was that CNN did such a laughibly bad job providing balance are missing the big picture here.

Come on guys, we are Republicans, since when have we ever expected a fair shake from the press? Democrats need special handing because they are ‘delicate flowers’, they need biased questioning to ensure that they shine, because frankly without it, they would stink on ice.

Think about the daily crotch kicking experience that President Bush has had to withstand since 2000, you show me the Democrat candidate who can withstand that sort of daily punishment.You think this “I hate the president” idea goes away with the end of President Bush?

Come on. ‘Bashing the President’, whomever he or she is a cottage industry. Its practically the new ‘Silicon valley’. I’ll bet the money spent on pundity is greater than the GDP of most European countries. People used to make and wear loud bowling shirts in public, they used to put flames on the side of their cars ‘to look cool!” and followed the local football teams, now they play the big game of pundit politics like they know what they are talking about and they play rough like it really matters one way or the other.
