"A very serious event to which very serious people should pay very serious attention"

"I understand there is some kind of event scheduled for this evening that will feature two known and proven liars mouthing pious rhetoric, brazen falsehoods and scripted zingers
in a process carefully crafted by their paid handlers to exclude any substantive examination of genuine issues of vital concern to the citizens whom the two known liars purportedly wish to "serve." I understand this will be followed by an outpouring of fetid gas emitted by a series of third-rate intellects and clueless goobers in various media who will examine the body language and facial expressions of the two proven liars to determine which of the liars might have gained the most political benefit from their lying and zinging and pious posing." -- Chris Floyd: Debatable Matters: Firelight, Frost and the Dark End of the Street

From reading the rest of this guy's site, I get the impression that his cynicism about the debates is rooted in the fact that Noam Chomsky isn't running for President.

You got that right but the voice is correct.

Skorpion, Floyd is an unabashed lefty, but his analysis of the political filth in DC has three things going for it.
It's beautifully written
It's accurate
It's meted out without regard to party.

His proposals to deal with the issues, may of course be different from yours. They are different from mine.

The best line I heard about the debate was this:

"Obama lost when Romney strapped him to the top of his car and went on vacation with him."
