We talk every four years about how bad our choices are and then the next election it’s as bad or worse. Tonight, for as long as I could stomach it, was an embarrassment for America. We read comment after comment, post after post, of people refusing to watch pro sports they’ve watched their entire lives, and criticizing those who continue to watch. Yet some of the same people have no problem watching (and even condoning), people making a mockery of our highest offices by their behavior. Call me crazy but I expect a little more from those interviewing to run our country than I do from the defensive tackle of the Colts or the middle inning reliever of the Marlins.
We looked like a nation led by Neanderthals tonight and I don’t care who you think “won” the debate, I can tell you who lost. America. And best I can tell, the biggest qualification to be the “leader of the free world” is to be an old white dude who acts like a 2 year old. That’s come to be what we respect and admire. Lord help us all.
