TUE SEP 13, 2011

Some theater you may have missed last night if you watched the debate on CNN —AlterNet:
If you watched the debate via the livestreamed Webcast, as I did, you saw a bit of unintentional video after the debate had ended, when Wolf Blitzer approached Rick Perry, saying he hoped they could “get together soon.” Then Blitzer patted Perry on the shoulder. “You did an excellent job tonight,” he said.
While it might be a good thing that viewers who still retain the capacity for independent thought and have a shred of conscience might have had the opportunity to see Tea Party ugliness in all its glory, CNN’s shameless attempt to turn itself into Fox News bypartnering with the Tea Party Express also left some important questions completely unasked.
Questions like this one:
“The Senate is voting tonight on $6.9 billion funding for FEMA to help communities recently devastated by natural disasters. Do you believe that disaster relief is an acceptable function of the federal government, and that this appropriation should be approved?”
Because it wasn’t — approved. Republicans followed the admonitions of Eric Cantor in uniting to block a vote on the appropriation 53-33; as usual, 60 votes were needed.
