John McCain

UPDATE: The link to the larger McCain version should be fixed.

LAST COMMENT:

I can't find "orgy" on Obama's one. That was the highlight of the debate.

LiveBlog: The Great Debate That Almost Didn't Happen

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

10:39 - Alright, kids. It's a madhouse in here, and I've been jammed in a corner away from the bathroom for hours. So, I gotta go do that and smoke and get idiotically drunk.

But please do keep up the conversation in the comments.

10:37 - Oh, and apparently we solved that whole POW/MIA issue. Someone should tell the bikers down the street from me.

10:36 - John McCain was in prison???!!! That's news to me!

10:33 - That's adorable. John McCain loves the vets and will take care of them. I wish I had a president who'd do that for me.

I'm so lonely.

10:29 - From the comments: "'We can't drill our way out of the problem' – That's not what she said." - (Rebekah)

10:28 - Wait, Obama hassss it too. Maybe it'ssss our sssssound ssssysssstem.

10:27 - McCain gets a little bit of a whistle in his S's when he talks about 9/11, doesn't he?

10:25 - Barack Obama is in favor of nuclear waste. Good for him.

10:24 - John McCain can say "nuclear." I think that makes him a snob.

10:22 - McCain's not wearing a flag pin. Why does he hate America? - Scout Finch

10:19 - By the way, Katie is also liveblogging this here. But make sure to tip your bartender.

10:17 - Stealing from Scout again. So, McCain's really fond of saying how he's known Kissinger for 135 years. We understand. You've been in Washington a loooooong time.

10:15 - Oh my! Here comes McCain's temper. Under your desks everyone.

10:13 - The average South Korean is three-inches tall?

10:12 - Oh no he didn't! Obama brought up Spain, girlfriend.

And then McCain pulls out the seal comment.

It's on!

10:09 - McCain is coming up with a rider of things he'll need in trailer if he's gonna meet with Iran. What do you think he'll be adding? Green M&Ms? A poster of Tina Fey?

(Credit where credit is due. I stole that from Scout.)

10:08 - McCain can't say Achmadentdslkjdkdijad's name? What's up with that?
