As to 'Who the Hell is responsible for this?' - First and foremost - leftist media, in hopes of doing as much damage as possible to GOP front-runners. Second and just as responsible - the candidates, that will leap at every opportunity to get their face and ideas in front of voters - despite the adverse climate they walk into.
Last - but certainly not least - all voters that have little genuine interest in who wins, like to see these things to help them keep up a little bit with what is going on in the race. Their viewing of these farces becomes a barometer of sorts by which leftist media learns how to drive their opposition to front-running candidates.
We've already seen what media has done with the last debate, whipping Perry hour by hour over his mention of the SS ponzi-scheme - while swooning over every word that comes from the mouth of the failed idiot currently destroying this nation.
I'm just hoping Wolf Blitzer has at least one moment where he muffs his voice and ends a sentence with "and Bmmmmm mmmmm mmmmmbbuh."
Or is that just on SNL?
