If you witnessed the completely off-the-rails presidential debate a couple weeks ago and wondered why moderator Chris Wallace didn't have a huge mute button on hand, then Wednesday's televised debate between Democratic Rep. Max Rose and Republican State Senator Nicole Malliotakis was for you.
There were lots of interruptions, mostly by Malliotakis, and plenty of name-calling, mostly by Rose, but also a moment of clarity when moderator Errol Louis decided enough was enough and just cut off Malliotakis' microphone.
