The Third Debate – Now With Sobriety

The debates are over, and now the gloves are going to come off. So let me get a lick in before the pros take over.

Over the course of the debates, the president’s remarkable improvement, which showed so clearly in his posture, control of facial expression and temper, and ability to think on his feet and express those thoughts, convinces me he’s been off the sauce since his horrible performance during the first one, back on September 30th.

But the president doesn’t drink, you say. He gave that up years ago, when he found Jesus and became the caring compassionate man he is today . . . didn’t he?

Hey, it takes a boozer to know a boozer. And the man who mopped the floor with his own face during the first debate? That man was suffering from what could only have been a hangover.

    I only saw the last thirty minutes of the first debate, right after Army cleaned Air Force’s clock on Thursday night football. Very interesting observation, but I didn’t see the other traits that go with a hangover. And I have a fair amount of experience in those. But something was definitely wrong.
