Got to my computer at much too late an hour Thursday night. Back blogging in a little while.
In the meantime, check out Marc Cooper’s blogging on the Dem debate…. at his site and at Huff Post.
The NY Times also has some good live blogging.
I will say this, however, Hillary is sounding more and more hawkish again. Her defense of her Yea vote on the Kyle-Lieberman amendment continues to be troubling.
I’d have liked to hear her answer the question that Bill Richardson got about getting the private contractors out of Iraq.
AND, apropos of nothing in particular, the strangest news item of the week is this one about a mother faced criminal charges because she was too explicit when she talked to her teenage sons about the birds and the bees. (Okay, the mom showed the kids a sex toy, which was pretty creepy, but do we need to haul the woman into criminal court? Good gravy.)
Chapeau tip to forensic psychologist, Karen Franklin over at In the News.
I would have asked the candidates to raise their hands if they had nothing to do with the death of Vince Foster.
Wolf Blitzer caved to the Clinton attack machine. Pretty pathetic.
Oh, yeah, one more thing about the debate and audience questions…. I was pretty outraged that a soldier would stand there and let his mommy at his side ask the Democrats what would they would do to make sure that her son doesn’t have to fight in any bad war in Iran. Then, another mommy got up and said that it wasn’t fair that someone else made more money than her son in the military.
Look, guys, don’t join the military if you cannot commit to following orders, serving your country, and protecting our freedoms at a pay scale that you agreed upon. And, be man enough to ask the questions yourself.
We need people who can get the job done, and we don’t need a Democrat as president who isn’t going to deal with Iran’s nuclear capability before it’s too late, just because some liberal mommies don’t want their babies involved.
A little troll is making fun of his betters here. Since he didn’t serve I suggest he STFU!
You’re welcome to express your opinion–if you have one. So am I.
Also, you really don’t know if I served or not, because I have never stated it, but this country is not run by the military but by the civilians, so you can drop that nonsense that only military people can state opinons on war.
That’s true but that doesn’t give you the right to impugn the statements of those who do. Joining the military does not mean giving up your right to opinions. You have to obey orders and going to Iraq three times qualifies. Particularly for a chief executive who couldn’t even be bothered to finish out his Air National Guard Service.
Show me where in the Constitution that it says that I don’t have the right to criticize Democrats and mommies who want to speak for their sons–or, anything similar for that matter. Do you live here or in Cuba?
Don’t you have anything to say about the so-called debate or do you only hang around to start arguments with me?
This is an example of flame bait. No response is necessary.

This is the funniest comment of the month !!!
This coming from the person who uses phrases such as “Hates America”, “Supports Terrorists” and etc. when anyone criticizes Mr. Bush and the Iraq War.
Que Viva Fidel !!!
Here we go again. You guys call me a troll, tell me to STFU, tell me that I have no right to speak, hypocritically say that I’m the one creating “flame bait,” ineffectively try to ridicule me, don’t respond to my questions, and prove that you have nothing to share other than trying to shut-up someone who does.
So far, no one has said anything about the debate except me. I guess you guys haven’t gotten your talking points from Kos yet.
How about this? When Hillary said that she wasn’t playing the female victim card when she was whinning about the “boys club,” etc., she was lying through her teeth. Then, after she denied it, she played it again and also had the nerve to say that Edwards were throwing mud.
If I had been one of those guys up there, she definitely wouldn’t have gotten away with that. This reminds me of Dem. VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro when she and her liberal press tried to stifle questions about her in the debates because she was a woman and gentlemen cannot attack women. Well, gentlemen don’t attack ladies, but Hillary doesn’t qualify. If anything, someone should have suggested that she belongs to the “lying bitch club.”
Also, good of of softball questions and follow-up, Wolf. I guess we know who gets his vote now–or, else.
Even the liberal commentators are saying that Edwards caved in the face of Hillary’s “the look,” as in not now, I’d have enough out of you last time — looked like a chastened school boy. It is hard to be tough on a woman without looking like a bully, I guess — but Obama and the others did call her out on her waffling, she didn’t get a total pass. Said a definite NO on illegals’ drivers licenses in NY this time; don’t know if it was a change of heart, probably just saw which way the wind blew. Obama said yes, knowing it’s very unpopular even in blue state New York. Was Richardson lobbying to be Hilary’s VP?
Flip side for Hilary: she can’t be too aggressive without looking like a bitch. She’s toned down that harsh voice she used to have, although some websites have YouTube outtakes where she’s shown to have her nasty outbursts and attacks on the secret service and others. Telling moment: asked whether she’d prefer pearls or diamonds, she said: “Both.” No pretending she doesn’t crave wealth and power.
RLC, here’s a great joke from the left and on you.
