The third and final debate . . . and what we learned is that Acorn is destroying the fabric of democracy. John Lewis is out of line. And Joe the Plumber is a target of Democratic class warfare. Meanwhile, the economy isn’t getting better anytime soon and it's been confirmed that the White House explicitly endorsed waterboarding. Secret memos about torture made the cover of the Washington Post this week, but the pickup on the story is slim. Is anyone explaining how we got into this mess and how we might get out of it? In other words who's asking the tough questions? We'll take the bait for a little while as we talk about the best and worst of recent media coverage. Let's talk about Joe the plumber for the next 48 hours!
Liza Sabater of Culture Kitchen points out the extremely clear moment between McCain and Obama in their definition of middle class and grey collar worker - Obama made it clear that if you're making more than $250,000 you're doing really well and can afford to have your taxes adjustment. On the other hand, the candidate whose net worth is $100,000,000 is opposed to the sharing of wealth. How this discussion of money didn't flow into a question or two about the bailout was probably the biggest ommission of a surprisingly solid moderation by Bob Schieffer, according to Rebecca Traister, of Salon. Brandon Brice, joining us from HipHopRepublicans, sticks with the party line -- Joe the plumber needs big government to stay out of his pocketbook.
