THE LOWDOWN. No, I didn't actually see the whole thing. I tried -- but somewhere in the third or fourth minute, after Brokaw wrapped his thick tongue around the first question and the two combatants sailed in with all their finely tuned politico-martial artistry, I.... well, I... to be completely honest... I nodded off for about, oh, ninety, maybe ninety-five minutes. When I regained consciousness, the pundits were in full cry, and I had to content myself with a few highlights. These are reproduced for you above, in case any of you also slipped into the comforting arms of Morpheus during the titanic showdown between John "Slugger" McCain and Barack "The Boxer" Obama.
Of course, no matter how many times I review the film, I can't detect any single blow that landed on either of them. Maybe next time they should get a referee who doesn't believe twelve rounds of dancing at a safe distance from harm constitutes a boxing match.
But that's just me, I guess.
