Otto and I hatch a plan

Tonight, on iChat:

Otto: where’s your post debate analysis? it’s been like an hour

Diane: Heh. Like I could watch it. Darin came home and taped it. I couldn’t be in the same room for a few seconds. I thought Kerry sounded much better, but why he didn’t hammer Bush on obvious stuff I have no idea.

Otto: i would listen to kerry, then i’d play w the baby loudly while bush was talking. cspan did a permanent split screen, so it was all reaction all the time. loved it. bush looked tired and lost, and kerry looked confident and also, a tiny bit, that if he was allowed by the debate rules to politely removed bush’s head with a machete, he would

Diane: and, as we all know, kerry actually knows how to do that.

Otto: yup. woulda made for GREAT tv

Diane: we should do a live blogging next debate on my blog. Not so much instant analysis as “instant snarkiness.” there’s enough analysis. there’s insufficient snarkiness. i mean, there’s only so much Jon Stewart to go around. And Mrs. Stewart and Baby Stewart really have first dibs. Well, them and Comedy Central.

Otto: never once seen his show, actually

Diane: !!! whoa.

Otto: also never tried coffee. i have a great list of these, but too many and i’d blow your mind

Diane: Well, on behalf of my people, Welcome to this planet.

So, what’d you think: instead of live debate blogging, live debate snarkiness blogging? And when is the next debate, anyhow?

Update: Aha! Found it:

• Oct. 5: Vice-Presidential debate (Not limited by topic)
• Oct. 8 (Not limited by topic)
• Oct. 13 (Economic and domestic policy)

Update 2:

Diane: I don’t even know how to find out when the next debates are.

Otto: i think it’s in the paper, on cnn, on cnn.com, and probably about 1,900 other news stories. they also said on the air, for those who watched, when the next episode is

Diane: well, there’s the whole “Diane DIDN’T WATCH IT” thing, but you just keep on. I have a copy of the Debate Agreement memo, and there it is.

Otto: you have the debate agreement memo, but didn’t watch the debate? what sort of freak are you?
