Every 12-Year-Old's Favorite Part Of Last Night's Debate

We're not about serious analysis here, so here was what I thought was the funniest part of last night's hysterically funny (no) interesting (uh-uh) presidential debate. John McCain wandering in front of Tom Brokaw's teleprompter at the end:

Yes, hi, I'm 12, but I had to search YouTube for that, which took skill. (I also loved all the parts where Obama was talking and McCain was just wandering in and out of frame in the background looking lost.) (Update: oh look, there's a clip of that too, now.)

this actually was one of my favorite parts, so your post title is backwards (i'm 21 lol)...

but for another reason.. i was SHOCKED by how quickly mccain was able to get out of the way. i had no idea he was that nimble!

It's like that alzheimer's commercial... "he went on a walk and was lost for hours."

That commerical always makes me laugh- which I know makes me the worst- because Alzheimers is a horrible disease- but the commercials they make for it are often silly.

I wonder what would have happened if he was asked to open up the question e-mails himself- on the dreaded magic box we call a computer?...I'm pretty sure it would have been like that scene from scanners. ( you know- that one)

Not good -- what happens if he makes it to office, then DIES of embarrassment (these shenanigans will only get worse as he heads towards the light, and someone might tell him what youtube is). I'll tell you what happens: Palin. Palin is what happens.

Can't he just buy a timeshare or something and enjoy being in the sunset of his life? 'Stead of all worrying about all these fandangled teleprompters?

I PEE GOLD

Once upon a time a old man named John McCaine and a hockey mom named Sarah Palin ran for office. Surprisingly they won. Then the world blew up. The end!

That Gawker one was weird, McCain spent half the time crab-walking the stage, that was the format...what I'm interested in is when he was walking around while Obama was talking, looking confused and signaling with someone in the back.

Conan had a montage of McCain wandering last night that had some old-man voice stuff dubbed over it. Don't know if it's online or not - NOT MY JOB.
