I was there last night. I don't know how she was at the after-party, but Ann seemed out of it last night. She was not her usual sharp and cheerful self. She was tense and on the defensive. Franken was more relaxed. Perhaps it was the hostile crowd, but I understand that Ann thrives in front of hostile crowds. She seemed under the weather.
Franken's pitch was pretty much the standard liberal BS talking points. Bush lied to get us into Iraq, gave tax cuts to the wealthy, we need universal health care. He threw in a few cheepshots against Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich too. He's an *******, pure and simple.
The crowd was unbelievably rude and I was stuck right in with a bunch of Franken fans. There was one lady in particular who sat right in front of me. She hooted throughout the performance. I felt like telling her to STFU but I didn't.
Is it true they eat with their butts and crap out their mouths?
Thanks for validating what I observed as well. It's certainly not a popular opinion on here, but it's coldly accurate. Ann did not acquit herself well in last night's debate. Sorry for not wanting to go into the particulars - it would take too long. But it would be next to impossible for an unbiased observer to say that she was the winner - or even that she tied. You really had to be there.
I went to a showing of a documentary starring one of my friends that was being screened at the Anthology Film Archives a few weeks ago.
There were a bunch of yammering, obnoxious yuppie retards from the E. Village who wouldn't stop hectoring him as he was trying to answer their questions, so I told them that it would be a lot easier if they would just shut their pie-holes.
