Jena and her friend settled on the Bachelorette 7 which promised too much generation X angst for me. My viewing choice seemed to be no better (and slightly similar to) the adventures of the last bachelorette ...
... Yes, the Republican presidential debate ...
The format devised by the media was annoying. It consisted of sophomoric questions posed by a CNN moderator who, after taking much time to deliver the question, immediately initiated a series of off-stage yapping noises such that one could barely hear the candidate speak. I marveled that no candidate asked him to stick a sock or two in his mouth.
The questions were composed as one would expect in a Philosophy 101 class, such as "would you rather grant amnesty to illedgal aliens or forklift them into trucks and ship them back?". And so on.
The performance of the candidates was outstanding. All seemed well-prepared and articulate. No questions were ducked.
Mitt Romney presented himself very well, but to me, the real standout was Michelle Bachman who always delivered sincere and intelligent answers even though the more difficult questions were aimed in her direction.
