How I saw the Senate debate
Moderator: “Thanks everyone for joining us tonight as we hear from our two candidates for Obama's Vacated Senate Seat. To my knowledge, neither has been indicted yet or is currently in prison.” (Sarcastic laughter from audience.)
“I'll start with you, Mr. Kirk. What are your positions on the many major issues affecting the Illinois voters?”
Mark Kirk: “Giannoulias is a liar!”
Moderator: “Uh . . . OK. Let's next hear from Mr. Giannoulias. What are your positions on the many major issues affecting the Illinois voters?”
Alexi Giannoulias: “Kirk is a liar!”
Moderator: “Uh, all righty, then. Thank you, gentlemen, for taking the time to explain what you will actually do once elected. And thanks to all of you listeners for tuning in to hear our mature, well-seasoned candidates enlighten us so we can make wise decisions at the polls in November. And now, back to those demeaning, sarcastic, condescending political ads that mean absolutely nothing.”
I believe Nancy Pelosi uttered, “We have to pass the bill to find out what's in it! In Illinois, apparently we have to vote for some liar to find out what he's going to do.
