Semi-live kid blogging

I haven’t yet mentally processed the debate, but I will pass on to you my kids’ comments:

Of Jim Lehrer, my son asked “Why are his lips such a funny color?”

Of Barack Obama, my daughter said, “He has ears like an elf.”

And of John McCain, my daughter, flush with her elf comment, said, “He looks like an eggplant.”

The kids also noticed in the first five minutes that neither of the candidates ever actually answered the questions asked.
