Tonight the Democratic Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be aired on cable on MSNBC, streamed on the internet on MSNBC.com and (depending on where you live) perhaps your local NBC affiliate. The debate starts at 9 PM, and we are all prepared with pen and pencil to take notes and…
… aw, c’mon. If you’re coming to read Irregular Times, chances are you’ve seen at least a dozen of the twenty debates featuring Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Chances are the two candidates aren’t going to be releasing any brand spanking new policy proposals on the stage in Cleveland tonight. So let’s have some fun while we watch.
Below are three printable Democratic Debate Bingo cards filled with words and phrases with a varying likelihood of being propelled out of a candidate’s mouth tonight. You know the rules: five across, five down or five diagonally in a row and you win. Win what? That’s up to you. Perhaps a contribution to your candidate from your opponent, perhaps a free drink, perhaps the simple smug satisfaction of winning, winning, winning, since that’s all that matters, ever ever. Or you could just have fun.
And here’s a blank playing card for you to write in your own favorite debate catchphrases…
Excellent! ROTFLMAO.
Two predictions:
1)the word “negative” will be bandied about enough to justify a new card,… any bets on “divisive” or some variation of “unity/uniter”?… ooh, ooh, “fearmongering”…
2)Hillary will try to get Barack to utter the soundbite “no we can’t”, probably by asking him something like “Can we have a health care plan that will cover all Americans?” Barack will be totally oblivious to the ploy and will launch into another canned speech with expansive gestures
did you see the SNL videos?..the “bitch” one has already disappeared from multiple sites, one citing NBC copyright claims
Yeah they might as well ask Obama if he needs another pillow, like the SNL routine said. They keep interrupting Hillary and won’t let her finish an answer, but let BArack just go on and on with his canned sxtuff without answering the question.But my connection keeps breaking up….says it is buffereing. I goes foreve, then just when the most interesting part comes, the audio breaks up.
This comment is for Chris Mathews,
I used to find your show very interesting, as of late I have come to realize that last nights debate, in cleveland, was somehow being played into the hands of barak obama. When Hilliary, stated why she was the one to go first with questions., She didn’t mind answering them but, you Chris, being as smart ass as you have become didn’t understand what she met. WELL, CHECK BACK ON YOUR RECORDS OF THE 20 DEBATES, HOW MANY TIMES HAS HILLIARY, GIVEN GOOD ANSWERS, SINCERE ANSWERS AND ANSWERS TO ALL THE POLITICAL QUESTIONS PUT FORTH BY THE THE HOSTS OF THESE DEBATES. GUESS WHAT, OBAMA WOULD BE LOST IF HILLIARY DIDN’T ANSWER FIRST. NOW DON’T TELL ME YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY SHE MADE THIS STATEMENT. I KNOW YOU SEEM TO SHOW, THAT OBAMA IS YOUR CHOICE, GOOD FOR YOU.
I HOPE AND PRAY HILLIARY GETS THE NOMINATION, NOT BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN, BUT BECAUSE SHE HAS PROVEN THAT SHE CAN FIGHT AND FIGHT HARD FOR WHAT SHE BELEIVES IN AND WHAT WE AS A NATION NEED TO HAVE TO REBUILD, WHAT GEORGE BUSH, MADE SUCH A MESS OF. I WATCH THE DEBATES FOR 2008 AND PRIOR, AND ALL I CAN SAY IS OBAMA ACTS JUST LIKE BUSH WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. DID HE DO WHAT THE PEOPLE EXPECTED OF HIM ABSOULELY NOT. IS HE FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS, NO. OBAMA AND BUSH SHOULD HAVE BECOME MINISTERS THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME ACTIONS, BUT I DO NOT FEEL THEY ARE OR WERE THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. OBAMA IS GREAT WITH THE ON THE ROAD SPEECHES, BUT, WHAT DOES THAT PROVE IF YOU DON’T HAVE SOLUTIONS TO ANY OF THE PROBLEMS AMERICA IS IN RIGHT NOW. TO HILLIARY, GO AND DO YOUR BEST, BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T WIN THE NOMINATION, ITS DO TO THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE BECAUSE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BLACK PRESIDENT BEFORE. AND AGAIN
AMERICANS WILL SUFFER ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF THE SAME OLD STUFF. WASN’T EIGHT YEARS OF BUSH ENOUGH. AS FAR AS I
CAN SEE THEIR IS DIRT UNDER EVERY BUSH.
