Discuss tonights big event on TV

I could have sworn this thread was going to be about Joey. Which will be about as scripted as tonight's "debate".
 
Neighbor gave us tickets to a show, so we're going out for dinner, then to the show.

Lemme know if anyone comes into the debate wearing a swastika armband.
 
O.K. here are the rules.

For the lead in
• Anyone tells that story about Bobby Kennedy turning up the thermostat before the Kennedy-Nixon debate: Take a sip of a hot toddy.
• Doris Kearns Goodwin mentions Lyndon Johnson: Pee outside.
• Someone shows a clip of Al Gore sighing: Recount your chads.
• A Republican operative compares Kerry to a classical orator: Drink an ouzo-and-hemlock cocktail.
• A Democrat operative uses the phrase "can't run on his record": Go to Stetson's.
• A Republican operative cites Kerry's prep school debate team experience: Try on a cheerleader outfit.
• A Democrat operative says that Bush "has never lost a debate": Try to look yourself in the eye.
• Someone plays the "you're no Jack Kennedy" clip: Lose anyway.
• Someone proclaims that "the entire race may come down to this": Move to Canada.

Drink One Sip If:

Finish Your Glass If:....

Bush mispronounces any word or name

Does "nucular" count? I'll pass out before the debate is halfway over. (Maybe that's a good thing.)


The interesting thing about this year's debate season will be the spin control. Before, to get good spin control, you had to convince a few big-time tv folks.

Now, there's a whole new blogosphere to deal with.
