I think Romney did best in that exchange by appearing "above the fray".


That was my impression as well.  And focusing on Obama rather than Santorum or the others helps him.

Eye Rack?  I thought we finished with Eye Rack.  Who the hell wants to go back there?

That was weird.  And I thought he was actually doing pretty well before that.

Who is this middle aged blonde bimbo?  It's not Jane Pauley, I know.  Is she stoned?  She sounds like Brendan's asthmatic friend in Home Movies.  Like she's got a permanent headcold and is taking some heavy medication for it, but it only makes her lightheaded and doesn't seem to clear up the snot.  I know I've seen her before but can't quite think of her name.  I guess I should have payed attention when they introduced the moderators.

Can someone translate what Hunstman just said?

Just like he said after it was "he doesn't understand the situation." However when I initially heard it I thought he butchered the last word (said something like "qingsheng" instead of qingkuang 情况) so someone gimme a link so I can hear it again.

Huntsman said "qingxing," which is the way you say 情况 in the south (Guangdong and Hong Kong, and maybe some in Taiwan use this term too).  Since Huntsman learned how to speak Chinese in Taiwan, it's not surprising he prefers southern vocabulary.  He said the sentence just right.

I was only in China twice, and the last time was two years ago, so my mandarin's a little rusty, but I thought he said, "You're a goddamned liar, Mitt.  I heard you order the spring roll platter and now that the waiter has brought it, you're claiming that you ordered the Mao Po Dou Fu." 

Anyway, I can't believe that none of youse are gonna bug the chinaman about this, seeing as how we have been doing his homework for the past five years.  I'm assuming his English is better than the guy's who writes the tests he has to take. 

More importantly, I found out that the slow-talking woman's name is Dianne Sawyer. 

Apparently they're debating again this morning.  It's beginning just now on NBC.  Check it out.
