Random Notes on the Debates

While going through some old papers, I found some of the notes I made while watching one of the three of four hundred senate debates last fall. These notes were made to help me remember what to write about for this site the next day, but I have no idea what most of this stuff means now. Here’s some selected lines that had me scratching my head :

“more videos than a rock star”

“I’m disappointed in Joe.” – Dean

Trent Lott would be Martin Luther King

Worse nightmare…Lieberman

Sharpton = Droopy Dog

Greenfield compares Kennedy to Nixon (fucking bulllshit)

Lieb looks awkward

“two guys in a phone booth”

“an actor who couldn’t win an Oscar”

“the men have ruined it”

“Rush Limbaugh’s housekeeper”

I have no idea what most of these are referring to, but I suspect they’re 90% Sharpton.

  1. Are you nuts? JOE LIEBERMAN is Droopy Dog! Sheesh! Sharpton’s the Pillsbury Dough Boy gone bad.

  2. The “Trent Lott would be MLK” line was Dean’s answer to the fact that, as governor of Vermont, he had not had many black constituents.
