The third and final US presidential debate has been and gone whilst I was soundly asleep. I have looked at various reactions - ranging from Republican blogges to left-wing UK newspapers - but this remains the funniest take I’ve read:
::30 minutes into the debate, tension has increased as each candidate has perfectly parried each others attacks::
McCain: You are wonderful.
Obama: Thank you; I’ve worked hard to become so.
McCain: I admit it, you are better than I am.
Obama: Then why are you smiling?
McCain: Because I know something you don’t know.
Obama: And what is that?
McCain: I… am not left-handed.
[McCain moves his pen to his right hand and gains an advantage]
Obama: You are amazing.
McCain: I ought to be, after 20 years.
Obama: Oh, there’s something I ought to tell you.
McCain: Tell me.
Obama: I’m not left-handed either.
[Obama moves his pen to his right hand and regains his advantage]
And if you are less geeky than me (which is very, very likely - yes, I’m embracing my inner geek nowadays), they are referencing this film.
