Bad Dinner Theater

Or, as we call it down heah, "The Last Debate".

Let it be so ...

McCain considers going tougher.

Obama favors a cool demeanor.

The campaigns have already written their spinscripts.

Can't wait.

Let's watch!

Rock, paper, scissors, rock, rock, finance, rock, rock, energy, rock, rock, campaign finances, rock, rock, lying, rock, rock, mean things, rock, rock, taxes, rock, rock, bad friends, rock, rock, bad community organization, rock, rumors, rock, rock, misrepresentations, rock, rock, rock, gimme my halo, rock, rock, Iraq, rock, rock, reform ...

Turn. Smile. Repeat. Turn. Frown. Repeat.

At least one person must be enjoying the debate: Joe the Plumber. Everybody wants to be Joe's friend! This guy asked Obama about his tax plan at a rally, since he wants to buy a plumbing business. Tonight, both candidates are personally promising Joe (Can I call you Joe?) that their plans are the most beneficial, small-business-friendly plan ever conceived. He must be gratified to see the candidates scrapping over him. "Ladies, please! There's enough Joe to go around!"

(Sigh.)

Little-known fact: Joe the Plumber and Joe Six Pack are one and the same.

Howdy, Rebecca -

I think Joe the Plumber has an agent, a PR chick, and a merchandiser (Joe the Plumber action figure, just in time for Christmas). Just when I think I can't stand anymore, someone proves me a liar. Blech.

Fe- I hadn't heard this. Blech is right. Some people will capitalize even on their own not so 'truthful' reputations. Incredible.

Rebecca -

In the interest of quelling rumors, I was musing, not reporting. :-)

I hope he does not have a full staff! That would be awful indeed!

Then he would run for office ... (kidding!)

Rebecca - Yeserday, I saw that Joe the Plumber is contemplating a run for Congress, so I retract my truth in blogging comment! Argh!
