The Torturous CNN YouTube Debate
202 words.
We only watched about 45 minutes of the YouTube “debate” Monday night in the Krehbiel household before giving up. I tried to watch a little bit more of it tonight on the DVR, thinking I should at least make an effort to watch the entire thing before commenting on it, but I just couldn’t take it seriously. It was incredibly inane. Like all the other debates, it wasn’t really a debate, it was just an opportunity for CNN to (try to) look trendy and piggy back on YouTube’s success, and an opportunity for the (popular) candidates to spew the same talking points and sound bites they’ve been telling us since the beginning. I think Kucinich and Gravel are kind of scary, but I at least like the way they answered questions with “yes” or “no” before launching into the canned responses. Everybody else was all like, “Well you know, that’s a great question, but I think the question you meant to ask was this, so let me respond to your imaginary question that I have an answer for.” I know I’m generalizing but it’s really hard not to throw ones hands up in despair for America after watching these side show spectacles.
