Oh. My. God.

The spectacle that was served up as a "debate" in a PRESIDENTIAL election last night only serves to illustrate the low to which this country has sunk. Nobody loves to analyze politics more than the olde Rumbear, but these "debates" are a joke. A comedy being played out for who?

Last nights staged and formatted debate was brought to you by CNN you know ...the Clinton News Network. Living up to there moniker CNN foisted questions upon the debatees from concerned uncommitted random voters. Concerned uncommitted random voters that included, a John Edwards supporter, an Obama supporter, an activist union drone who happens to support John Edwards and a card carrying retired Brigadier General asking questions about gays in the military who just happens to be a Hillary AND former John Kerry supporter presently serving on her Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Steering Committee.

Yup, planted questions...who knew?!! Certainly not CNN. They are backpedaling fast. Michelle Malkin has the full story with all the details. Stephen Green sums it up this way "What we really saw tonight was CNN playing out its own agenda in front of a couple million viewers and seven or eight candidates, without anyone calling them on it."

Comedy...nobody ever said it was pretty....

UPDATE: Seems the olde Brig General was named recently in a press release as a"Co Chair" of Hillary's "Veterans and Military Retirees for Hillary Committee", but, of course, nobody at CNN knew......of course. Sure. Right.
