Full disclosure: The hardworking staff could only stand watching the first hour of last night’s Republican presidential primary debate, but we did pick up some slop from Fox News on the second hour.

The GOP Magnificant Seven gathered in Sioux City, Iowa last night for what was billed as the Kitchen Sink Standoff, but turned out to be the Disposall Debate.

From our notebook:

• If you chose “conservative” for your drinking game, you were knee-walking by 9:20. See: Newt Gingrich (R-Pretty Conservative).

• “Let’s take a step back” are the first words out of Mitt Romney’s mouth. Hey, Mitt (R-Moonwalk): Republican voters want a candidate who steps into his opponents.

• Michele Bachmann insists that she had always “meant what I said and said what I meant.” Maybe she could get Horton to be her running mate.

• Rick Perry (R-Tim Tebow) says, “I’m kind of getting where I like these debates.” Too bad they kind of don’t like him.

• Bachmann accuses Gingrich of influence peddling.  Gingrich accuses Bachmann of inference peddling.

• It’s 9:45. Do you know where Rick Santorum is?

• Rumpus over abolishing U.S. circuit courts that don’t fit conservative mold. Ron Paul (R-Austria) the most reasonable candidate on the stage.

• Huh?

• Fox News has more here.

• Goodnight, God bless America, and God bless YouTube.
