"I watched about the first hour of it and then I thought I was getting stupider, so I turned it off," said Fox's Chris Wallace. "I should say 'even stupider.' But that's more a commentary on CNN than it is on the Democrats." "What is the reluctance to let one candidate engage another candidate?" asked Shepard Smith. "It seemed like there was a buzzer going to go off every time things got real. "Fox, I have to say, I think we're smarter." replied Wallace. "We let the guy talk for a minute, at the end of the minute the bell rings, and that's it. You've got a minute and you can do with it what you want. But instead we have Wolf Blitzer [on CNN] every 30 seconds going 'Okay, okay, okay.'" "And one time Dennis Kucinich actually yelled out, 'What about me? Hey, what about me? Ask me a question.' It was the saddest thing I've ever seen," said Smith. "And also Joe Biden at one point," recalled Wallace. "He's trying to make his point and he keeps getting interrupted by Wolf Blitzer, and he says, 'Well, I know you don't really want to get an answer from me.' Just let the person talk!"
