First gay debate announced.

Now, the serious me might say, odd move Dems. You just cemented everything in the minds of the GOP base they already believe about you. You come off as desparate trying to appeal to this lobby, (as well as the immigration bill you desparately want so you can secure the 12 million new voters for your ranks borders.) Furthermore, debating specific issues for one interest group only sets a bad precedent. (I’d be shocked and awed if any GOP candidates actually agreed to participate.)

Then there’s the wiseass me who says thank God–the sets for previous debates have all been so dark and lifeless. Maybe this one can be more like the Oscars or the Olympics. NOT that there’s anything wrong with a dance number in between the moderator’s questions, I’m just sayin. Either that, or just do away with the traditional format and go all reality show. Get judges like Simon or even Gordon Ramsay: “Will the good Senator from North Carolina kindly answer the question and then fuck off.”

(via Drudge. “But why don’t I just go to Drudge then to read today’s news.” Because Drudge isn’t the smartass I am and wouldn’t make snide remarks about each story the way I do. Now, a big Gordon Ramsay “fuck off!”)

Gordon Ramsay as debate moderator, now THAT'S entertainment!

This is great stuff, Bill. The candidates (Obama included) are devoid of color. The issues are bland and/or all together tasteless. Their wardrobes are varying degrees of power noncommittal. Why won't TV commit to a decent laser lightshow and some fucking rollerskates?

Or at least furnish them with paintball guns or a gong or even a family feud buzzer to ring in their answers? Have we learned nothing from fifty years of television?

You had me at “paintball guns.”
