Sometimes there is a political event so transcendentally weird, so Silly Putty, to use one of tonight's Perot-isms, that it almost defies description. Tonight's big Nafta debate on "Larry King Live" on CNN was not exactly Webster and Clay. More like Punch and Judy -- with charts instead of bats.

As has been the case with much of the fight over the North American Free Trade Agreement, the debate tonight between Vice President Al Gore and Ross Perot included some misleading and exaggerated arguments on both sides. Their disagreements ranged from the sweeping (whether the pact would result in massive layoffs across the United States) to the obscure (the pact's rules on certain labels of Tennessee bourbon). But a review of their statements on CNN's "Larry King Live" indicates that Mr. Perot tended to stray a little further from the facts than did Mr. Gore.

Vice President Al Gore suggested tonight that Ross Perot opposed the North American Free Trade Agreement to win political and financial advantage for himself. In a sour 90-minute televised debate that turned more on personality than substance, the Vice President observed that Mr. Perot had favored the trade agreement until he began running for President, and that the Perot family had obtained special free-trade privileges for its development near a cargo airport in Fort Worth.
