As others have noted the debate was an enormous letdown on the part of the media. Gibson and Stephanopoulos were shameful, asking questions about Bittergate and Bosnia and Wright instead of healthcare and housing and foreign policy. And the flag pin question nearly gave me a stroke.

It’s clear that the giants of media have succumbed to the dumbing down of America, of making this election about speculation and snark instead of issues and ethics. To see them goading the candidates with stupid questions and to have to watch the candidates, Obama in particular, practically begging for something substantial to talk about. Thankfully the latter portion of the debate turned around, largely at the prodding of the candidates themselves. It’s like having the smart kids tell the teacher they really, really want to learn.

George and Charlie, don’t quit your day jobs. And keep wearing those flag pins.
