Stockdale was the only one who (at least) tried to answer the queries put
to him. He would, however, stumble off into a void though, nullifying his
answers. But Gore and (especially) Quayle did a reprehensible job with
their questions. I don't know what all the fuss, oooohs and aaaahhhs are
about. I've seen more substantive debates in kindergarten playgrounds
over who gets to play with the dumptruck.

GORE: "I did not say that."

QUAYLE: "Did too! did too!"

GORE: "Did not."

QUAYLE: "did too! Press! Press! I'm gonna pass out MEMOS!"

STOCKDALE: "I think that... When I was... I ran a civilization, and...
            The War in Viet Nam..."

GORE: "You ruin everything."

QUAYLE: "Do not! Do Not!"

STOCKDALE: "I feel like I'm at a ping-pong match."

MODERATOR: "The audience shouldn't hiss like that..."

QUAYLE: "Neener! Neener!"

PUBLIC-1: "Quayle wins!"

PUBLIC-2: "Gore wins!"

PUBLIC-3: "Stockdale wins!"

This debate only offers us a choice of what level of mental incontinence
we'd like to have guiding our country. Let's hope that which-ever of the
choices makes the trip to Washington lays in a goodly supply of Brain
Pampers, a kind of Depends for the Mind.
