Trivial Matters

The candidates certainly got their laugh on in the last few days. Last night, Sarah Palin made her Saturday Night Live debut. I was surprised she didn’t get more into the act, especially since she was in two segments. Though, the quip about her liking Stephen Baldwin over Alec was pretty clever.

On the main stage, the two presidential candidates took the stage at the Alfred E. Smith dinner and proceeded to roast each other to a crisp. Goind back to my earlier post on the nature of the three debates, I think that something like this would have gone over much better. People find honesty in laughter because most things are only funny if they’re true.

Both candidates were able to make their points and accusations in a good natured way, and nobody got offended. So, again, I renew my point that the next set of debates in 2012 should be moderated by John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Dave Letterman.
