Anderson Cooper: one person I would definitely not want to be… at least during this week’s Republican Debate.
Charged with interrupting blabbermouthed politicians who can’t respond to a yes-or-no question in less than 600 words, with attempting to trick mostly crusty narrow wandering minds into actually “answering the question asked” instead of spouting a bunch of polemic partisan bullshit about how much better they are than the person next to them, and with breaking up the testosteristic verbal cockfights… no, poor Anderson Cooper was definitely not one to be envied this week.
And did some of the candidates remind anyone else of hormonal, middle-school-aged boys in $1000 suits?
I consider myself just a little bit more masochistic from even having visually participated in this event, although I must say that I am certainly (slightly) more well-versed on who each of the candidates are — or at least what they look like and who they don’t like.
I can’t imagine taking part in something like these debates — in a way, I can sympathize with the candidates; can you picture trying to answer the complex issues of national security, foreign policy, or the federal defecit in ninety seconds? It’s a bit ludicrious, if you really think about it. It’s almost as crazy, honestly, as some people actually believing they can get enough information about whom our next President should be from such a shoddy, pathetic contest as this.
Did anyone else watch the Republican Debate? If you, like me, lost two hours of your life to this affair, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
