Some Snark on the GOP Debate Last Night


I was watching House (a new episode about a 16 year old genius) and so did not see the second GOP debate. Here are some snippets from Digby who did watch:

"It was quite interesting watching the Republicans debate down in South Carolina tonight. ... . These guys have just spent the last fifteen minutes of the debate trying to top each other on just how much torture they are willing to inflict. They sound like a bunch of psychotic 12 year olds.

" The biggest applause lines were for faux tough guy Giuliani demanding Ron Paul take back his assertion that the terrorists don't hate us for our freedom, macho man Huckabee talking about Edwards in a beauty parlor and the manly hunk Romney saying that he wants to double the number of prisoners in Guantanamo "where they can't get lawyers." There's very little energy for that girly talk about Jesus or "the culture of life" or any of that BS that the pansy Bush ran ran on. (Brownback's position, forcing 14 year old girls who've been raped by their fathers to bear their own sibling, will have to suffice for the compassionate "life" crowd tonight.)

"John McCain is the only adult on that stage and that scares the living hell out of me considering that he's half nuts too. Wow.

"I think Rudy won it. These people don't care if he's wearing a teddy under his suit and sleeping with the family schnauzer as long as he promises to spill as much blood as possible."
