The Greeks invented democracy, so you can imagine it would take a Greek to destroy it. And dammit if George Stephanopoulos didn’t step right up to the plate. He, along with the mostly tolerable Charlie Gibson, grilled the candidates about the key issues facing us today, including:
1. Whether the US government should take military action against Reverend Wright and whether Obama should be charged with treason for his ties to Wright
2. The investigation into the shots allegedly fired at Hillary Clinton during her trip to Bosnia, specifically who fired them, whether they were real, why it’s worth discussing (which Hillary answered definitively**)
3. The Common People v. Barack Obama, the case before the Supreme Court that will determine if elitism is covered in free speech.
4. The candidates’ views on the troubling new study revealing that 53% of voters have figured out that Hillary is not “honest and trustworthy.”
5. Whether or not they would wake McCain if he fell asleep while debating them.
6. Will the upcoming surge in TV sales help turn the economy around? (caused by people watching the debate who become so frustrated that they destroy their TV sets)
**Hillary proved the relevance of the Sniper Fire question with her response, which was the most dumbfounding response to a question since her husband used the word “is” to ask for a clarification of the meaning of the word “is.” Her response: "I said some things that weren't in keeping with what I knew to be the case." Wow, that’s…I mean if you’re paying attention and you speak English, that sounds like a needlessly fancy way of saying “I said things some things which were not really the truth.” (Who’s the elitist now?) That is commonly known as…lying. I’ve never heard someone admit to lying so casually, while at the same time trying to use words which would, like, make her seem far too erudite to have committed such an affront to verity.
They did eventually discuss a few meaningless issues like dependence on foreign oil and payroll taxes, but they mostly stuck to the issues that are truly important to the people (of the Mainstream Media).
Don’t worry, America. Next week, we’ll finally have another primary to break up the monotony. We can make it!

That debate was such a joke.
I think it is pretty disturbing how nonchalant Hillary can be whilst lying. Cool beans. :)
