Watching 'The Insider' & their lead story was the debate, it was very cool!

I never watch shows like this, but I had already suffered through Hardball at 5pm, and that CNN woman is unwatchable sooo . . .

The lead in story was the debate, and while they talked about the perceived winner, some clips of Chris Matthews raging last night and complimenting Rmoney (thanks, asshole), they had their internet reporter talk about what happened on Twitter.

As a lot of us probably already know, it was Big Bird, and they did a great montage of interviews. There was a woman rep from PBS explaining that our children will really be the big losers. It tells the low info undecided: this man is extreme, he's a stingy jerk, which plays right into the existing narrative.

They showed the Rmoney clip, and it comes off disgusting and sleazy. even more so when it's not lost in the rest of his verbal diarrhea. They ended with someone in the media who said, getting rid of Big Bird is like getting rid of Santa Claus! Mitten's is looking like a rich modern day Ebeneezer Scrooge, LOL!

This really is a big story coming out of the debate . . . you just never know how things will play out!

I think once everyone calms down what will be taking away from this debate is that Rmoney is going to take down Big Bird so he can keep his rich friends happy, people just have to be patient
