I say almost because the whole thing was so disturbing that I had to turn it off before the end. But then I woke up today to find that the nightmare continues, with reviews by the liberal media describing it as a great debate that showed the spunk and determination of these fine people. Oy --talk about spin!
Elizabeth Warren, the drab schoolmarm who lied about being a Native American to get into law school was the worst offender, behaving quite badly out of the gate. Her obvious desperation over her poor showing in recent contests, making her a distant third in line for the nomination, had her screaming like a banshee and hurling insults at all the other children, I mean candidates. I hated her even more than usual. Her favorite target was former NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg, whose main fault that everyone seemed intent on driving home was that he is a billionaire. How dare he make so much money? What the hell is this, a capitalist society or something where you get rewarded for working hard? The nerve! And so what if he gives away billions to charity; he has nine houses! What a pig!
And speaking of mayors, that choir boy they call Mayor Pete to avoid having to say his unpronounceable surname was his usual holier-than-thou self. He never raised his voice or got excited, he just did his down-to-a-science smirking and eye-rolling, making it clear that he was above the fray because he is so very special, being a member of the LGBTQ community that runs things these days. Plus he was the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a city of just over 100,000 people so who's not ready to run a country of 327 million? He also played the age card, being an obnoxious 40 years younger than the leading candidate, by snidely saying he would happily release his medical records which of course would be free of any health problems.
As for the others, Amy Klobuchar's eyebrows were drawn on with a heavy hand once again, making her look like she was wearing a Halloween mask of herself. And so what if she didn't know the name of the Mexican president? Is that really so important, considering that while he was president, Barack Obama said he had travelled to all 57 states? Still, Amy further distinguished herself by still not knowing the Mexican guy's name without reading it from her notes.
Then there were all the Old Guys: Joe Biden is simply too ugly to consider as our next president, and that's that. His hair looks like a hat, his beady little eyes are disappearing and his nose seems to be getting pointier every minute. Could this be some new plastic surgery trend I missed? As for Bloomberg, he looks like his face was sewn from an old leather handbag. Do we really want to watch him become even more wizened if he were to win the election? And Bernie Sanders, the current leader of the pack, seemed on the verge of having another heart attack right there on the stage, his face getting redder and redder every time got a chance to speak.
You Missed Your Calling! You should have been a comedian! And, you have Invisalign? I desperately need some sort of braces and I was that close to getting them then a house issue cropped up. I wish you could give me your take on how they are working for you lol
