Strike Three
I've been trying to multi-task, switching back and forth between the Yanks/Twins game and the VP debate. I'm giving up on the Veep thing though.
Cheney gets a pointed question to start the thing off ("what about what Bremer said today?") and he ignores the question. Some 20 minutes later Edwards is asked "why do you guys say you'll get all this international cooperation to 'do the job right' when all the countries you're thinking of say they won't cooperate?". Edwards blows that off as if he was 14 years old and his mother was asking him when he would make his bed. Cheney gets a chance to respond, and doesn't cream Edwards directly for blowing her (the questioner) off, but instead rambles into a bunch of talking points.
This is why I hate (presidential election) debates. One of these days someone is going to figure out how to actually answer a direct question with a direct answer, and that someone will be elected with 110% of the vote. Taking all of the fraud into account, of course.
