Chewin in the Chung

I didn't watch the debate, because last night was poker night and I could not risk being stultified into a coma or driven insane. (As it turns out, insanity may have been an advantage in last night's game) Besides, the entire debate is going to be discussed ad nauseum on blogs and boards that I frequent daily, so I really shouldn't be missing anything. Really- last week I finally tried to watch Farenheit 9/11. I made it about 20 minutes into the movie, and gave up. Everything I saw had been discussed, debunked, undebunked, counter-undebunked, and reverse counter-undebunked on the web. So I turned off the movie and played Xbox.

Back to the debate. The first clue I had as to how it went was that all of the righties on Forumosa and the PWOT forums were calling it 'even'. Uh oh. If the debate was even remotely 'even', then the Bush supporters would be calling victory. So I checked out Foxnews to see what their poll said about who won the debate. There was no poll. I read Foxnews every day for the last half year or so, and they ALWAYS have a poll, often for deep and insightful questions: "What best describes your view of airline service today?"
UPDATE: Fox DID put up a poll: "Did Thursday's presidential debate cause you to change your mind about your vote?" (21% say will now vote Kerry, 13% will now vote Bush. Are these the same respondents of whom 58% believe that Saddam had a part in 9/11?)

I smell a whuppin'. Better see what the True American Patriot Giblets says:

"Instead of the weak-kneed flip-flopping elitist being put in his place by the simple-talkin' cowpoke who squints ABMs in the face of terror, Giblets had to endure seeing the leader of the free world whine like an old woman with an expired aspirin coupon while Mr. Monument trounced him in rich, dulcet tones!"

And the America-Hating Communist Liberal Traitorous French Democrat Peaceniks on FARK say:
