A Debate Post-Mortem: McXplosions, Weird Faces and the Turkey Lurchy-Lurch
In the third Presidential debate last Tuesday, John McCain was a curmudgeonly, befuddled and unpleasant embarrassment. The split-screen TV killed the McCain campaign, delivering the final blow to it by offering the audience a clear view of the Beauty and the Beast. On one screen we saw a calm Obama, attentively listening to his opponent, then responding with coherent, concise retorts. On the other, we saw a squirming, smirking, eye-rolling, angry McCain looking uncomfortable in his own skin, stumbling through his anger to come up with a stuttering reply.
McCain came across as angrier and meaner than ever before. Every time Obama spoke, McCain grimaced, sneered, or rolled his eyes. By contrast, every time McCain was on the attack, Obama smiled. Ninety minutes of John McCain making faces was more than enough for a lifetime. He smirked. He grimaced. He sneered. He fake-smiled. The more rage he felt, the more weird his expressions became, as he made increasingly odd faces. It's hard to imagine anyone willingly inviting that antic lemon-sucking grinfest into their homes for the next four years.
This post-mortem review of the third presidential debate includes a number of humorously bizarre photographs, three funny videos and an animation. Polling results are provided by Joe the Plumber.
