    suzie said that SNL didn’t do any skits on the debate. How could this exist?

    Keep in mind when you watch this video that I have texting evidence that Dan thought Obama was winning that debate while it was happening. Not until the MSNBC libs all agreed did Dan finally admit that Romney crushed Obama.

    gdad,

    What part of Dan’s tag of Rants & Raves (w/ lies) on him/her don’t you understand?

    ;-)

    “Keep in mind when you watch this video that I have texting evidence that Dan thought Obama was winning that debate while it was happening. Not until the MSNBC libs all agreed did Dan finally admit that Romney crushed Obama.”

    Keep in mind than when you’re reading the above, there are comments from me, posted Wednesday on this blog, contemporaneous with the debate (and before Terps sent any text to me) indicating that Obama seemed unusually tense in his opening statement.

    Oh god terps, who cares.

  7. pammala | October 8, 2012 at 3:57 pm

    every single dem in this country cares, kristen..that ROMNEY WON the debate hands down, not only that but larger win than any debate in history…lol..they care because it scares the hell out of them

    terps, ya done good! And, SNL looked good, having a little fun at el presedente’s expense. Thanks for providing that cut, dano.

  9. gdad | October 8, 2012 at 5:13 pm

    The opening skit also took some funny and deserved swipes at Romney.

    Shoot, I forgot. SNL didn’t do any skits about the debate.

    Does this mean that even the myopic, Hollywood, left believe that obama got his a__ kicked at the debate; and the apologists were ridiculous?

    More NONgratuitous name-calling from mikeO!

    Corporate media believes shouting your lies over the top of your opponent and the moderator constitutes a “win.” Just who was that guy at the debate claiming to be Mitt Romney? It sure wasn’t the one on the campaign trail.

    This wasn’t a spoof on the debate. It made fun of MSNBC. But even if there was one, it must not have been very good. Nobody’s talking about it.

    SNL riffs, perhaps the best part of politics before the elections.

    Obviously Romney should debate himself and let us know who wins that one:

    Mitt Romney, 10/3/12: I will not reduce the taxes paid by high income Americans.

    Mitt Romney, 2/22/12: There were so many misrepresentations in there it’s going to take me a little while. Number one, I said today that we’re going to cut taxes on everyone across the country by twenty percent—including the top one percent.

    Mitt Romney, 10/3/12: The key to great schools? Great teachers. So I reject the idea that I don’t believe in great teachers or more teachers.

    Mitt Romney, 6/8/12: He says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It’s time for us to cut back on government.

    Mitt Romney, 10/3/12: Actually, it’s a lengthy description, but number one, pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan.

    Mitt Romney, 3/27/12: If they’re 45 years old and they show up and they say I want insurance because I’ve got heart disease, it’s like: “Hey guys, we can’t play the game like that.” You’ve got to get insurance when you’re well, and then if you get ill, then you’re going to be covered.

    #13 Look, suzie, you got caught lying yet again and we all know it. As I already explained in reply to your prevaricating, it was the opening skit. Then there was this skit. Then there was more during Weekend Update. Nobody on this blog lies more than you do.

  17. mike O | October 9, 2012 at 4:43 pm

    Dan,
    You might want to look up the definition of “gratuitous” before attempting snarky remarks. I would help you look a bit less foolish.

    You are fast moving further down on my list of idols… lol

  18. Suzie | October 10, 2012 at 7:54 am

    Where was the lie about SNL, Granddad? Show us.

  19. gdad | October 10, 2012 at 11:25 am

    #18 Yes, suzie, you lied.

    Posted by suzie on Sunday, Oct. 7, right after SNL did two sketches about the debate and also talked about it on Weekend Update:

    “Haven’t heard much about SNL this election season.

    Love to see a sketch on Wednesday’s debate?

    Oh, they didn’t do one? Odd.”

  20. gdad | October 11, 2012 at 12:09 am

    Yep, nailing suzie lying some more. It’s great.

  21. Suzie | October 11, 2012 at 8:16 am

    #18 Yes, suzie, you lied.

    Show me where I said they didn’t do a sketch. I said I never heard about it, then asked if there was one.

    I can play your silly game better than you, Granddad.
