The Republican primary candidates debated once again on CNN last night. If you’d like actual political analysis of the event, I’ll send you to my friends at Swampland, but other than some wrangling over military policy and Newt Gingrich’s position on immigration, there seemed to be few momentum-shifting moments. So instead, I invite you to watch this Jimmy Kimmel clip, which mashes up a livelier earlier debate with footage from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

God help me, but Linus does do a pretty good Mitt Romney. In my head, meanwhile, Rick Santorum is Shermy, sulking at the end of the table and wondering why he’s been in this thing forever, yet no one remembers him.
