UFOs and Halloween Costumes!?

Did anyone else catch last night's Democratic presidential debate on MSNBC last night? Toward the end, when the moderators decided after ignoring Dennis Kucinich most of the time to zero in on a claim by Shirley McClain that he had once witnessed a UFO and the experience had a profound impact on him, did you think the question both silly and completely unnecessary to the debate? How about asking what costumes the candidates planned to wear for Halloween? I realize it was toward the end and no more relevant questions could be asked, but come on!
