well, CNN lost a bit of cover when a questioner from last nights debate says she didn't WANT to ask hillary-diamonds or pearls?, but a question about yucca mountain. clearly more reason not to watch manipulated claptrap 'debate' if this is what CNN does. of course using LESLIE to run it is appalling enough.
CNN has to die!
glad i didn't watch the dog and pony show.
