A lot of critics say their fears that liberal moderator Candy Crowley would be biased toward President Obama came true. They site the fact that she gave Obama 9% more time to talk and openly defended the President’s statements on the Libyan situation.

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will face off tonight in the second of their three presidential debates. This time, the debate will be in a town hall format, moderated by CNN’s Candy Crowley and featuring random questions from audience members.
- In politics, “random” is defined as “pre-screened and carefully chosen by the moderator”.
In an interview on radio’s “The Yo Show”, President Obama said he’s certain that American Idol judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj can work out their feud “peacefully”.

Hillary Clinton is “falling on her sword” - taking responsibility for the lack of security and resulting attacks in Benghazi last month.

- The planet’s official name is “A Girl’s Best Friend”.
On this day in 1793 Marie Antoinette’s last words were “Pardon, sir. I did not do it on purpose”.
