Double-Barreled Disaster: Two GOP Debates in One Night
Will Pitt won't be posting these here 
, so someone's got to.

Some days have no end, no sunset, no fade to darkness after a kiss. Some days are eternal, small slices of forever, trailing out like a river of poisonous smoke from the cigarette you desperately want to choke on, just so you can put it out in your eye to stop seeing what you're seeing....
Upon fully encompassing this murderer's row of hucksters, frauds, failures and outright fools, I found myself recalling the warning words of Obi-Wan Kenobi when beholding the Mos Eisley space station on Tatooine: "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." He may as well have been in Cleveland, trying to buy a ride out of town. Same deal: fleeing the Empire....
The content in brief: It took 11 minutes before one of the candidates summoned September 11. Jindal asserted that ISIS is trying to destroy medieval Christians, who haven't actually existed since, well, the Medieval Age. Pataki wants to surveil mosques, but totally believes in freedom of religion. Santorum said Planned Parenthood is crushing the skulls of children. And Graham basically said we're all going to die unless we kill everything we see. It was a bright display of the national id from a pack of grifters who represent the people who think dinosaurs never existed because Jesus, taxes are bad but plow my road when it snows, and President Obama, along with Hillary Clinton, are fifth-column communists who want to sell the US Navy to Iran for some hummus and a kind word....
The room was packed for the second debate at 9:00 p.m., and Donald Trump - to his eternal joy - was greeted by the crowd like a conquering hero returning to Rome. The event began poorly and ended worse; it was a mud fight between Christie and Paul, Carson bragging about being stupid, Bush embracing his brother's legacy while saying "I wouldn't have done that," Trump simply being Trump, and Ted Cruz continuing his role as a Batman villain. The rest, in the words of Zippy the Pinhead, was a blur of Republicans and meat.
