Democrat Debate - Out of this World

In some of the less frightening questions/answers in Tuesday night's Democrat presidential debate, Kucinich discusses the time he saw a UFO. Not to be outdone, Richardson admonished the government to "come clean" about Roswell. (At least in Richardson's defense, he could be said to just be helping his state's tourist industry...) Shockingly, I was unable to find much coverage of this subject in the MSM...

Mrs. Bill Clinton had the roughest time - unlike all of her interviews with friendly media members, her opposition actually called her out for her wavering non-answers to some of the questions. (Though despite the wavering cover-up she tried to pull later, she did still say that Gov. Spitzer's idea to give illegal aliens NY drivers licenses was a good idea...)

Apparently, Hillary fans unaccostomed to seeing her asked any questions compelling a straight answer were upset by the debate:

One caller from Oklahoma City said that “the questions … were designed to incite a brawl,” and that Russert’s and Brian Williams’s moderating was “an abdication of journalistic responsibility.”

Another said Russert “should be shot,” before quickly adding that she shouldn’t say that on a conference call.

Should be shot? That's a little harsh, though it wouldn't be the first time the Clintons were suspected of bumping off those who go in their way...
