CNN’s post-debate analysis tackles the tough questions.»

After tonight’s YouTube debate, CNN ran a segment critiquing the candidates on their body language and dress. Wolf Blitzer introduced it, stating, “Candidates also sighed, they rolled their eyes, they looked at their watches during the debate.” CNN’s Carol Costello commented, “Look at how the candidates were dressed. The men wore dark suits, but Hillary Clinton wore a brightly-colored jacket.” Watch it:

    Was Paris Hilton there as well? How did she smell?

    I bet they found a missing white girl in the audience!!


  2. epm Says:

    The founders believed a free press would be instrumental in the success of a strong democracy by making voters informed citizens. Who know it would end up become an agent in the death of a strong democracy, buy actually making voters LESS informed citizens.


  3. Jim Says:

    But how heavily did they sigh? That would make all the difference to me.


  4. River Says:

    The little tart showed off her cleavage, too.


  5. The Eck Says:

    CNN

    The Clinton News Network


  6. The Eck Says:

    “But how heavily did they sigh? That would make all the difference to me.”

    Gore did enough sighing in 2000 for all of these wingnuts.


  7. The Eck Says:

    “The little tart showed off her cleavage, too.”

    That was the only good part.

    CNN is for commies.


  8. The Eck Says:

    “actually making voters LESS informed citizens.”

    CNN tends to do that to the Dems who watch it.


  9. Jay Randal Says:

    I am glad I did not watch the YouTube debate, because CNN has proven they wanted the debate to be stupid and silly. This was an attempt to discredit bloggers on sites like TP, since YouTubers are on the fringe.


  10. Limbaugh, Rush Says:

    Ahh.. Yes, but the question is, was Senator Obama black enough? Was John Edwards wussy enough?

    Did Senator Clinton have big enough balls?

    I’m 98.8% correct all the time!


  11. cajay Says:

    She also said that the “anti-war left” won the debate. Seems unfair to leave out the anti-war “center.” This is why I don’t watch CNN. I caught that just flipping past the channel. I would have gone insane watching the whole thing.


  12. Jim Says:

    Gore did enough sighing in 2000 for all of these wingnuts.

    That’s certainly what the wingnuts said. And it shows that they really care deeply about the issues, doesn’t it?


  13. Tony W Says:

    News Flash…middle age democratic men were seen wearing dark suits in South Carolina before Labor Day…we’ll dig deeper into this pressing story along with, should a women wear black pants while standing next to two men wearing dark suits in South Carolina before Labor Day,right after our own exclusive analsys on what color sheets would Elizabeth Edwards would put on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom and why Mrs Obama might chose a different color…


  14. GSD Says:

    Maybe CNN will broach the subject of pube grooming next time around.

    What a pack of vapid asschappers. Ted Turner should by that Fox knock-off back and fire everyone.

    Then start from the ground up with chimpanzees with typewriters. They’ll be more accurate and far more entertaining.

  15. Sharon Says:

    Glad I skipped it…I was out salting slug’s and planting tree’s…Much more productive….Blessings


  16. Jim Says:

    #8: CNN tends to do that [make them less informed] to the Dems who watch it.

    But the right-wingers who watch CNN and Fox News become more informed? Maybe you can explain how that works.


  17. The Eck Says:

    You guys are all voting for Nader in 08, right?


  18. jeanruss Says:

    I had to turn off the analysis, as they just couldn’t stop trashing Edwards, as usual-Edwards really has corporate panties in a twist-It just makes me want to support him even more-I learned tonight that Obama supports nuclear power-No sane person with children could take this stance-I feel he really knows very little about the subject-obviously John Edwards does, as he can’t support it-Walter Russell’s book “Atomic Suicide” would convince anyone of how dangerous nuclear power is-maybe I should send a copy to Mr. Obama so he can get up to speed on the topic…


  19. The Eck Says:

    “But the right-wingers who watch CNN”

    Right wingers don’t watch CNN, only libs like you do.


  20. Joefriday Says:

    Did any of them have shoulders you could land a jet on ? Biden-did he smell good ? Who had the most expensive hair cut ? Could we see the greatness in any of them? How many humans died in Iraq today ?


  21. epm Says:

    The debate itself was actually pretty good. Good questions, for the most part… as good or better than the puditocracy.

    The post debate rush to fill the remaining 24 hrs of air time, however, is a different story. Once the beautiful talking heads (and Wolf) start offering opinion and insight, things go dark real fast.


  22. Jim Says:

    #17: Right wingers don’t watch CNN, only libs like you do.

    I’m not sure where you get this idea, but the ratings certainly don’t bear this out. Are you suggesting that right-wing Fox News viewers are more informed than “liberal” CNN viewers? The facts show just the opposite.


  23. Chimp Says:

    But I’m still the one you want to have a beer with, aren’t I?

    Because I’d really love another beer.


  24. shane Says:

    The trolls sure jumped on this thread. Must be all the fear chased them here.


  25. Cecil Says:

    ….and the point of the segment? to further cement the top 3 and to lock out the rest, ex: Gravel is “like your angy uncle”, implying that he’s crazy.They’d do the same to Paul.


  26. The Eck Says:

    “Are you suggesting that right-wing Fox News viewers are more informed than “liberal” CNN viewers?”

    No, I’m not. I’m saying that only liberals watch CNN.

    Where is the Cindy Sheehan Topic?
    She was arrested today.

    …Conyers told her there weren’t enough votes for impeachment to move forward on the issue.

    So, are the dems fighting back against the peaceniks? Can we put this whole impeachment nonesense to bed now?

    Your thoughts? Off topic? New Thread?

    yes and she is much nicer than that letch Fred Thompson’s trophy wife..


  33. fuku Says:

    Maybe CNN could talk about the type of cologne the candidates were wearing or whether the men had boxers or briefs…
    When are we going to get control of our airways and boot out these privatized departments of propaganda.
    Why don’t we have Amy Goodman of Democracy Now on instead of that Jackass wolf blitzer.

    Sheehan arrested while calling for Bush’s impeachment

    Associated Press - July 23, 2007 6:35 PM ET

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has been arrested today at the US Capitol for disorderly conduct.

    Sheehan was taken into custody shortly after saying she’d run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the California Democrat’s refusal to try to impeach GOP President Bush.


  49. Chimp Says:

    I’d have to toss a coin.

    she’s a trophy wife, as Carville used to say, you’d be surprised what you can pick up if you troll a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park..

    I’m not sure where you get this idea, but it’s false. I’m sure you also have the insane idea that CNN is a liberal (or, I’m sure you prefer, “communist”) network. In your world, anyone to the left of Bill Kristol is a communist.


  57. mediadog Says:

    I hope that a new post doesn’t show. It seems they are like a flame to a moth for Eck. He bounces between news stories faster than Senator Vitter does between whores.

    Aww come on, you know you reverse threaded rightwing wackos want to free them oppresed Obama folks!! Why change your loony tune now!!


  65. tarazan Says:

    How important is it to voters what these candidates were wearing?
    For CNN, voting is treated like a ‘fashion show’.


  66. Jackie Says:

    It must have been a great debate since all CNN could talk about was the clothes that the candidates were wearing. Oh yes and Hillary’s colorful jacket. Now I thought these people were running for President. Or does CNN only talk about the GOP candidates. Fred Thompson will be out of the race soon. Now the GOP will have to pick Mitt has he’s buying his way to be the GOP candidate. McCain couldn’t get enough money from his supporters in Iraq.


  67. The Eck Says:

    “CNN is a liberal (or, I’m sure you prefer, “communist”) network.”

    I agree totally, Jim.

    #72: Wow … 68 posts and not one of our usual trolls has been able to provide a single substantive comment on the debate.

    That’s not true. The Eck made an incisive observation that CNN is actually run by, and for, communists. I mean, who knew? And the impressive thing is that his point is so obviously true that he doesn’t even need to support it.

    Nor are trolls nice. But I wonder if this is really The Ick or if clever little PiPPy ShortDrawers is playing little troll games. Either way, no one cares if it’s nice or not.

    Call out the Guinness Book of World Records, AGAIN, folks!

    Eck gave another honest answer!

    Eck (µk), Johann. 1486-1543.

    (1) German Roman Catholic theologian who opposed the reforms of Martin Luther and procured from Rome the papal bull that declared Luther a heretic (1520).

    (2) Still another ancient NeoCon, hanging desperately onto the status quo!

    Sorry, I have been watching too much David Brooks. I made (2) up. {:-)

    ‘Zactly. When I was a kid, my dad kept tropical fish and Ick or Ich was something he always watched out for. There are fairly simple cures, I think, but Icky trolls you simply drop in the toilet and FLUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    Works for PiPs as well.


  147. ronjazz Says:

    Republican is the dirtiest word in the Englisn language, and the lowest insult imaginable. Edwards has gone from moderate to liberal because liberals saved this country from the Axis powers. Republicans are selling it to China, and losing wars against camel-riders in caves. Eck is a Republican, and that’s all that anhyone needs to know.

    Comment by mediadog

    Your conservative friend (why?) is not talking about opportunities to help people, or solve problems, just opportunities to make money and gain power. has he taken advantage of the opportunity to defend the USA from the Muslim hordes? Unlikely. If he’s a conservative, he is a craven coward and a less-evolved human than if he were a liberal or progressive.


  174. Chimp Says:

    Look at the time!

    I gotta get up early tomorrow and make fun of Cindy Sheehan.

    It’s been great chatting with you, my fellow Americans.


  175. mediadog Says:

    My self proclaimed Conservative friend has taken was seems to be a popular route for many Republicans now a days… He is now an Independent. It seems some Republicans would rather immigrate than change thier own party.

    speaking of colostomy tubes,
    I coined a new phrase earlier,

    NeoColonials, or shorter,
    NeoColons.


  178. mediadog Says:

    He just as you Ronjazz had an opportunity to answer in like fashion. He, however, was only able to change the subject, perhaps as Eck is by not responding… We will see.

    Oh, yeah, the debate. I didn’t watch it, but I figured if Wolf Blister was involved, it couldn’t amount to much!

    Actually, I was out to dinner with friends. Some of things the non-trolls in here said, made me think I might have missed something.
