The Morning Joke crew are absolutely cool with Mitt Romney's blatant debate lies

Hey. Romney won the debate, strictly on STYLE points, of course. Facts and figures, oh that's all garbage. If the President ONLY dealt in facts and figures then he only have himself to blame by not calling Mitt a liar every time he opened his mouth.

Also, Dems have been hand wringing to Dead Intern and they're worried.

So, in summary:

- You can win debates with lies.

- Style is EVERYTHING and substance is a liability.

- And you and I are afraid that we can never get past this debate debacle.

And people are unsure why the news media is so poorly liked in this country. It's not a mystery why, if you can figure it out.

to get Caribou Barbie and her dysfunctional family out of the news cycle with some article being published every single day during that time, so the wheels of the lamestream media turn slowly. This too shall pass.
