Good post. I couldnt stand that last night. His arrogance is sickening and he really was an ass in the debate.

[longcall911]

He appeared the total fool.

I was screaming at him to STFU. Not sure which was worse, the laughing or the interrupting. He would just jump in, in the middle of Ryan talking.

All I could think was: "What a rude jerk."

This is what I saw all night:

Ryan was interrupted a total of 116 times. 82 by Biden and 34 times by the moderator.

The entire thing was a set up from the get go....the fucking moderator had Obama as a guest at her wedding, and her ex is Obama's chairman of the FCC.

It was on all the channels. ABC just said, "Deal."
