Presidential debates were amazing TV

I woke up Tuesday morning not even wanting to open my eyes. What was the point? Why go on? What does it all really mean now that we will never see Barack Obama and Mitt Romney on the same debate stage again?

I’m sorry, but these weren’t just presidential face-offs. This was the greatest reality show in the history of television. This wasn’t only about politics and leadership, but the entirety of the human condition.

Sorry Brian, it is literally impossible to miss Romney. Four years as governor (two if you were taking attendance)is enough Romney reality, whatever that is, for a lifetime.

I truly understand your pain on this one, Brian. But there really is some consolation. There are more good reality shows in the wings for next season. If it is the Republicans who lose, we can enjoy an episode of "Obstructionism Part II". If the Republicans win we can enjoy "Military Chest Thumping, The Sequel", "Dump the Poor into the Sewer", "Watch the Rich get Richer", and "The Weekly Tally of Medical-Expense Induced Bankruptcies". Don't worry Brian. Guaranteed, you'll have plenty to watch on tv.
