Meanwhile, James Wolcott alerts us to lively goings-on at the snappily titled blog ‘John Cole’s Balloon Juice‘, where the combined intellectual might of the US blogosphere is still musing aloud about the (generally reckoned to be rubbish) CNN / YouTube question time for Democrat candidates.
More specifically, they’re wondering how the show might be improved upon if there were to be a Republican variant – and they’re busy dreaming up questions that hard-ass conservatives in the audience (or indeed sending in videos via YouTube) might put to their beloved GOP candidates. Now read on…
- To Rudy Giuliani: What do the Islamofascists hate us for now that we no longer have freedom?
- Governor Romney, Mormons believe in polygamy. Muslims believe in polygamy. What assurances can you give us that, if you are elected, you won’t work for al Qaeda?
- Mr. Giuliani, if Obama is elected, will he declare defeat in Iraq and withdraw our troops before surrendering to Iran, or will he surrender to Iran first?
- I’m a completely independent, undecided voter, and my question is, can you explain why Democrats hate America?
- Mayor Guiliani, unlike most of your fellow candidates you have achieved a major tactical success – your brilliant campaign against the New York squegee men and panhandlers who once threatened that great city with a Caliphate of hassling. How would you apply the lessons learned to the war against terror?
- If I masturbate to Jack Bauer torturing a suspect, does that make me gay?
