Thank goodness the debates are done! Everybody ready to go vote now? I sure hope so, because I think we’ve covered tonight’s ground many times over now. Everything from here on out is gonna be pretty ugly.
Rather than focus on the remaining three weeks of hostility, spin, and loose facts, I think we should give some credit for tonight’s lighter moments. (Transcript via CNN)
I nominate Barack Obama for the “Best Euphemism in a Presidential Debate” award:
“We should try to prevent unintended pregnancies by providing appropriate education to our youth, communicating that sexuality is sacred and that they should not be engaged in cavalier activity, and providing options for adoption, and helping single mothers if they want to choose to keep the baby.”
I can’t wait to use that when Adorable Child and I have “The Talk”.
And I think we should give John McCain the “Freudian Slip” award, for calling Barack Obama “Senator Government”:
This really gets down to the fundamental difference in our philosophies. If you notice that in all of this proposal, Senator — government wants — Sen. Obama wants government to do the job.
Delivered live, that really was pretty funny.
