Manufactured Issues

About 40 minutes into the Democratic debates on ABC, I decided to call it quits. I know who I'm voting for to begin with, but this is ridiculous. Charlie Gibson ought to be fired. Forty minutes of tabloid questions.

Do you love America?
Do you love the flag?
Do you love your opponent?
Do you like you opponent?

To Barack's credit, he seems to be trying -- a little, at least -- to steer the debate toward some substance. That, sadly, is more than I can say for anyone else involved in this laughable spectacle.

So I give up. I'll catch the 30 second soundbytes from which the moderators will pull their next batch of questions.

Now I'm ready for a good old-fashioned Red Sox comeback. Please?
