Another Debate

The third and final presidential debate is going on. So far fairly even (and pretty much a snooze), though Bush seems a little nervous. He smiles too much and makes wisecracks about Kerry that probably go over well with his usual handpicked GOP audiences, but this audience has been instructed not to laugh or respond, even if anything Bush was saying were funny, which it isn't. Jokes that don't get laughs aren't ever good, but smark-aleck remarks that don't get laughs are worse.

An hour in, and Kerry hasn't laughed or even cracked a smile yet, aside from the introduction.

One weird moment: Bush bashed Kerry for supporting amnesty for illegal aliens, but I'm quite sure that was something that Bush proposed.
