CNN Analysts would rather watch Baseball than the Debates

Two of the last three Debates between the Republican and Democratic candidates for President and Vice-President have all been in direct competition with Playoff Baseball.
The Debate committee has got to get its priorities straight.
The Vice-Presidential Debate on October 2nd was up against Game 2 of the NLDS between the Cubs and Dodgers at Wrigley Field. And last night’s Presidential Debate was up against Game 5 of the NLCS between the Phillies and Dodgers.
I had a hard time choosing between the events. I was using the clicker to flip back and forth between that Dodgers-Cubs game and the Palin-Biden debate.
Apparently, I wasn’t alone.
Here’s a screen shot of CNN Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin during the October 2nd VEEP Debate - he’s at MLB.com’s GameDay, following the Cubs-Dodgers game on his laptop.
Stick it to the Man, Toobin! It’s great to know that CNN Analysts don’t give two craps about the Debates when there’s Playoff Baseball on either.
Get this … Toobin got busted again last night during the final Presidential Debate … this time while surfing Facebook!!
Here’ Toobin’s reply to GIZMODO …
“I am clearly a recidivist in this area. I figure as long as I stay away from porn, I can keep my job.”
Jeffrey Toobin is my hero.

the fact that anyone is praising McCain for his performance in the third debate proves that he and Palin have lowered people’s expectations down to nothing (don’t forget, the VP debates were a tie!)
