Biggest load of doo doo I've watched in a long time

I love the backlash after the Wednesday, April 16 "debate" on ABC. Who the hell cares about such silliness? The best summary of how I feel about this has got to be Mary Maples' take on the state of the country, as shown in her Huffington Post article.

My favorite Maples observation? "Now it seems the unending Democratic campaign has descended into a nightmarish rolling rant about bitterness, beer, bowling and who is or isn't a bitch. In fact, this whole thing has made me a little bitchy."

Amen sister. I feel a little bitchy watching pseudo-debates. How about the issues? How about plans? You wouldn't hire an architect who didn't have a plan of how he was going to build you a house, would you? So why aren't we asking these potential leaders to show us a plan, step by step of how the situations we are finding ourselves in (with regard to economy, employment, national debt, and the war) will be remedied?

That pseudo-debate didn't give us anything with any substance. Shame on ABC for letting the debate slip into an MTV-type reality show. All we needed was a scene of Hillary taking a shot while sitting in a hot tub with her other 'house/castmates.'
