Scattered thoughts:

1) Did no one during rehearsals stop to say: It’s hard to capture Americans’ attention with an hour-long debate when it is real. A fictional hour-long debate that is devoid of anything too dramatic? Jump the shark?

2) Did no one at NBC stop to say: “Live” “NBC News” on the bottom of the screen, like NBC news does with a real live news event, is probably not a good idea?

3) Could Forrest Sawyer play Bush Finn? Just not himself?

4) He voted for before he voted against. Eye roll. I’m so onto 2006. And tomorrow.

5) Okay, lots of eye rolls.

6) Alan Alda had the perfect opportunity for a Jonah Goldberg ANWR slide show and skipped it.

7) It still wasn’t as painful as Commander in Chief. But getting warmer.
