I'm so pissed at ABC.
They won't show it live on the west coast or provide streaming on the internet?? Fuck them. I have to wait 3 hours to watch it? God damnit that pisses me off. I am debating whether to even avoid this forum for those three hours, but I know I will check in to see how Obama is thumping Hillary.

4. More proof these are not "news" organizations any more --
but for-profit corporations. They're treating it like a TV show to get ratings in that time slot.

14. That's right - they are "entertainment tonight," "Access Hollywood",
and the National Enquirer all rolled up into 30 second bites.

Who the fuck would hire Alan Greenspan's wife to read the slander/scripts?

Who the fuck hires Pat Puchanan for anything except target practice??

Disgusting manufactured controversy.

"The bitter controversy, Day FIVE!!!???!!!????


:puke:

5. Three words: Extra Innings Package
It is available on majority of cable systems and satellite providers.

It allows you to see all the out of market baseball games all year. Even at $199 it is cheap.

If you are getting pissed having to wait to see a political debate then, my friend, you need to watch more baseball.

10. I wish you could watch it in my place!
I can't stand to watch it live. I always wait to see what the people on this board think before I start watching. LOL Also, many times I like to fast forward through Hillary (can't stand to listen to her lies..blood pressure...) unless someone here posts something that she messed up on and then I will listen to her portion. Other than that I don't want to hear anything from her. Anyway, totally bummed for you. Maybe you will be able to find a website that will show it live?

11. Jeezus they've only had thirty leven debates already
What are the chances anything new is gonna come out of this one?

I'll watch Olbermann. If Obama gets in some good zingers, he'll show 'em.

But sit there for 2 hours and listen to charlie gibson or some other ABC asswipe ask irrelevant questions? No fuckin way.

Too nice outside this time of year.
