Opening Remarks of the Senator from Brooklyn

Good lord! Now even the debate live-bloggers are trying to manage expectations.
I suppose that post-debate will sound something like: "By not being reduced to tears by KT's superior political knowledge, James clearly scored a win".

Thump...

James Poniewozik combines the wit of Dorothy Parker, and the nuanced understanding of pathos that greek drama in character studies such as Oedipus Rex examined in an infantile form, until Mr. Poniewozik came along to complete the blosssoming concept and leave all further observations redundant and irrelevant.

That Cicero comment just makes me want to watch my Rome DVDs. Speaking of, I believe Mr Poniewozik still owes us a review.
