Comic legend Jackie Mason satirized the tendency of the news media, opinion makers and the general public to focus more on the delivery and presentation of remarks than on the actual policies presented at presidential debates. “If these debates were held fifty years ago, Groucho Marx would have been the president,” Mason quipped during a radio interview Sunday.

....And safe to say, such “efforts” RUIN good threads like this one. Plus it makes HG look more like a TROLL. Best to ignore.

Just a gentle reminder that post number 17 is from a TROLL

Ooohhh.. name calling. We got us a real bad-ass over here with the name calling.

How about, instead, you try to get things right rather that making excuses for screwing up?

Putting that many people on the stage for that short of a time was a poor format.
They had no time to debate; only make soundbites.
Not sure there was a better way to set it up however.

Mason nails it.

Jewish people are used to lives assailed by absurdities. As a result they know what jokes are.

When you mention folks without pinging them it makes you a douche-bag.

Try not to be a douche-bag... or a coward.

(No, you don't have to spell any of those hard words.)

I could live with that. Groucho would a be sight more interesting than anything by faux news.

President Groucho Marx.....

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.

Groucho Marx

So is this article like 20 years old? Debates have been a joke for a long time.

Actually, the only thing it had less of than comedy was debate.

Hummergunner is not happy about Trump.

How do you figure that, homeboy?

Show where I've ever said anything negative about him.

Well.. you can't, because I haven't.

I guess you are just making up crap and talking out of your ass.

Prove me wrong, jackass.
