Good Evening and Welcome to Myrtlebeachbum and kadinsky’s live blog of the 2008 Presidential Debate!  The candidates are prepped and primped and ready to spew forth all manner of electionese so let’s get this thing rolling, shall we?

For those of you drinking along, here are your bingo words:

BAILOUT (chug)

CHANGE (drink)

IRAN (drink)

IRAQ (drink)

SURGE (drink and roll eyes)

RUSSIA (drink vodka)

N.KOREA (drink, spit it back in the glass, then drink again)

FOREIGN OIL (drink something expensive)

McCAIN CALLS YOU HIS FRIEND (drink and swear)

ANY REFERENCE TO PRIOR JOBS AS ‘WAR HERO’(draaaaank)

CAMERA SHOT OF CINDY McCAIN (penalty, turn to stone for 10 seconds)

MBB:  Historical factoid!  Today is the 48th anniversary of the original Geritol v. Hope death match: Nixon v. Kennedy in the first-ever televised debate.  Weird, huh?  60% of Americans may not tune in tonight like they did then, but if we follow Kadinsky’s simple rules, we can drink 60% of our body weight in alcohol, my friends.  Yes, we can!

===================================================================

kadinsky: starting with the financial fubar, excellent!

kadinsky: wow, Obama looks serious with that brow.

kadinsky: McCain gives a shout out to Kennedy.

kadinsky: he HOPES so?!?

kadinsky: it’s like therapy, “Now, Barack – tell John how you feeeeel.”

HEY Y’ALL, WE’RE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, MOVING THIS BLOG TO THE COMMENTS – OLD SKOOL!!


Thank You to my co-host, Myrtlebeachbum and fantastic job, Everyone!  I think we’ll do it like this from now on.
