McPOW is a Fucking Liar - Part 2

I just spotted this concise, lucid, cogent, in other words nothing McOld or his supporters understands, post by RealDCC over at FiveThirtyEight.com:

According to the transcript, Warren said: "Now, what I decided is to allow for proper comparison, I’m going to ask identical questions to each of these candidates. So you can compare apples to apples. Now, Senator Obama is going to go first. We flipped a coin, and we have safely placed Senator McCain in a cone of silence."

But that wasn't true: McCain wasn't in the building when they started.

A stunt like that by Obama would have the McCainiacs howling "cheater!".

Then, consider the education questions:

WARREN: OK. Let’s go to education. America right now ranks 19th in high school graduations. We’re first in incarcerations.

OBAMA: Not good.

WARREN: Not good. 80 percent of Americans recently polled said they
believe in merit pay. Now, for teachers, do you - I’m not asking do you think all teachers should get a raise. Do you think better teachers should be paid better? They should be paid more than poor teachers?

OBAMA: I think that we should - and I’ve said this publicly, that we
should set up a system of performance pay for teachers, negotiated with teachers, worked with the teachers to figure out the assessments, so that they feel like they’re being judged fairly, it’s not at the whim of the principal. That it’s not simply based on a single high stakes standardized test but the basic notion that teaching is a profession, that teachers are underpaid, so we need to pay them all more, but - and create a higher baseline, but then we should also reward excellence.

WARREN: Reward excellence.

OBAMA: I think that is a concept that all of us should embrace. [ applause ]

Now, supposedly, Warren was going to ask the same questions to both.

However, consider the exchange on education with McCain:

WARREN: Let’s talk about education. America ranks 19th in high school graduations, but we’re first in incarcerations. Everybody says they want more accountability in schools.

MCCAIN: Um-hum.

WARREN: About 80 percent of America says they support merit pay for the best teachers. Now, I don’t want to hear your stump speech on education.

MCCAIN: Yes, yes, and find bad teachers another line of
work. (APPLAUSE).

WARREN: You know, we’re going to end this, you’re answering so quickly. You want to play a game of poker?

Warren was surprised - had hadn't even asked the education questions and here McCain was answering them!

McCain clearly answered the two "expected" questions and then launched into his stump speech, something Warren asked Obama to avoid.

These are the facts, folks. McCain did well, and part of the reason he did was that he cheated.

What he said!
