Presidential Debates

I see Charles Gibson has been selected to moderate one of the debates. Be a nice break from helping Emil fix hoppin' john.

I envision something like this:

GIBSON: President Bush, tell us how the prayers of the people give you strength as you go about your duties.

BUSH: Well, I - I - I - I'm very humbled and gracious by the many prayers and all the well wishers from the American people. It - it gives me strength and peace, Charlie, as I work to protect our nation from the turrorists.

GIBSON: Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Kerry - do you ever say to yourself, "Just who the hell do I think I am, running for President?"

Bill O'Reilly is not among the moderators. Too bad. He'd be a good pick for the vice presidential debate:

CHENEY: And, in conclusion, Bill, the American people want an honest, capable businessman like me for Vice President, and not a greedy trial lawyer who has driven countless small businesses into the ground.

O'REILLY: All right, sir. I appreciate your honesty and the American people appreciate your honesty. Mr. Edwards, what do you say to these charges?

EDWARDS: Bill, that is just totally inaccurate and I -

O'REILLY: HEY, you! Shut up! SHUT UP! [aside] cut off his mic.
