Real Presidential Debates? As if!

The Washington Post opposes real debates. They want the debates modeled on American fucking Idol!

Undernews - [The Washington Post, which can't stand things getting out of its control, produced this editorial on the recent presidential debates, an editorial that neatly ignores the fact that Gravel and Kucinich best represented the views of a majority of Americans on Iraq and that Ron Paul was the most interesting person in the GOP lineup. Leaving aside the perverse anti-democratic presumption that candidates should be judged by how much money they raised, debates are not polls. They are, for want of a better term, debates and the last thing one wants in a debate is three or four people all trying to say the same thing better than the others. The minute you get a Gravel, Paul or Perot into the debate, the discussion becomes real, which, of course, this is precisely what the Washington Post doesn't want]

"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was." - Molly Ivins 1944-2007
