Election 2008 Good Morning, News!

Posted by The Unpaid Intern on Fri, Apr 18 at 8:30 AM

So, this past week, Hillary and Obama debated for the 21st time. It was a doozy. Here’s the fallout…

*Many viewers are still pretty upset at ABC, particularly George Stephanopolos, the former Clinton aide and current chief Washington correspondent for ABC.

*On the other hand, David Brooks of the NYT gave ABC’s questions an “A” and then wrote a column titled Obama’s Fall.

*Most importantly, here’s Colbert’s take on it…

* Which was followed by Hillary coming by and fixing Colbert’s “technical difficulties”…

*Which was then followed by Barack calling grizzly bears the number one threat in America…

In other news,

*A seattle cop gets busted for registering the highest blood alcohol level in state history - .47, six times the legal limit! Bad cop!

*Recession watch: Another massive bank loses a lot of money and cuts a bunch of jobs!

*The Supreme Court ruled that lethal injection isn’t cruel and unusual punishment, saying a little pain is expected in all executions. Duhhh!

*And finally, the Pope talked about how badly the Clergy handled the sex abuse scandals. He also met with some of the victims. Good for the Pope.

Ok have a good weekend guys!
