Last night I dealt with the Republican debate in the only intelligent way possible.  I didn’t watch.  Furthermore, George threatened me that, if I filled him with puke again, like I did last time, he would refuse to interface with Stumpy.  I don’t need to have watched to know that the Derby was made of of lies, hate and affronts to human decency from one end to the other.  Here\u2019s the Gray Lady\u2019s analysis, followed by some interesting video.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0207Debate\"<\/p>\n

Senator Marco Rubio<\/a> of Florida was hammered as callow, ambitious and lacking in accomplishment during the Republican presidential debate here on Saturday night, as Gov. Chris Christie<\/a> of New Jersey led an all-out assault to try to halt Mr. Rubio\u2019s growing momentum ahead of the critical New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rubio, facing the fiercest attacks yet of the Republican race after his strong third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses<\/a>, looked rattled at times and faltered as he pushed back with scripted lines about President Obama that Mr. Christie mocked mercilessly. While the Republicans clashed on issues like abortion and torture, the concerted effort to take down Mr. Rubio dominated the debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have not been involved in a consequential decision where you had to be held accountable \u2014 you just simply haven\u2019t,\u201d Mr. Christie told Mr. Rubio early in the debate. Charging Mr. Rubio with taking credit for policies but then skipping Senate votes on them, he said, \u201cThat\u2019s not leadership. That\u2019s truancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The scorn aimed at Mr. Rubio, a 44-year-old first-term senator, came as voters in New Hampshire and nationwide are still taking the measure of him, though he is well positioned to surge nationally if he has a strong showing in the primary here. Still, a Boston Globe\/Suffolk University poll last week indicated there was still fluidity in the New Hampshire electorate: 33 percent of Republican primary voters here said they might change their minds before Tuesday\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After Iowa, I\u2019m not surprised to see a pig pile on Border Booter, the Latino that hates Latinos.  He must be flat as a pancake, after PIGnocchio piled-on!<\/font><\/p>\n

Now you may be wondering how I could have come up with the interesting video I promised at the outset.  Since I\u2019m too kind to assault you with a Clown Car Destruction Derby VIII video. I have a clip for you on an unrelated subject<\/a> that IS interesting!<\/font><\/p>\n
