I'm not big on 'fact checking' the Presidential Debates...heck, I'm not really big on watching the Presidential Debates, but I happened to turn in to the end of Saturday Nights debate, just in time to hear the final question.
'If you weren't here, what would you be doing this Saturday night?'
Rick Perry threw himself on the grenade first, saying he would be at the gun range. Great answer Mr. Perry, but I still don't see myself voting for you.
Newt Gingrich then tried to align himself with The Everyman, saying he would be home watching the National Championship Basketball Game. One of the other candidates then corrected him, by saying football, not basketball.
Three of the other candidates then tripped over each other, trying to agree with Newt, saying they also would be gathered at home watching the National Championship game, with their loving families. Because, that's what Everyman wants to hear.
The only real problem is the National Championship game in on Monday night...not Saturday Night.
Sigh.
Maybe they meant they would be home watching themselves get made fun of on Saturday Night Live...
John Huntsman, who almost doesn't count as a candidate anymore, is the only one whose answer didn't make me mad...he said he would probably call his two sons in the Navy, to tell him he was proud of them.
I don't think it's really what he would do on a Saturday evening, but I didn't sense he was lying about his feelings.
