Vicious!
Frum after the debate:
It seemed to me that Edwards prepared for a 45 minute debate. He ran out of gas, became flustered and confused, stopped answering the questions. The punditry on Fox seemed to think Edwards won the 2nd half of the debate on domestic issues, and I had a totally opposite impression. I thought he fell apart, while Cheney looked fresh as a daisy. I'm sure we'll see the whole range of analysis before the morning is out.
With his repeated and worshipful descriptions of John Kerry--not to mention
Edwards' moist good looks--you have to say that he would fill the role of First
Lady much better than Teresa Heinz is likely to do. It would all have been very
impressive--if Cheney's scalpel had not so swiftly and mercilessly sliced
Edwards' living liver out of his body, impaled it quivering on a stick, and
paraded it before Edwards' soulful eyes before the poor man expired.
