Modest Proposal
Didn’t see the Republican debate tonight: swim practice. My first ever mile-volume swim workout thanks (1800 yards in 54 minutes). Mrs. Offering had to watch it but she was good enough not to tell me about it when I got home. My suggestion is, let’s save time. Just have the candidates
torture each other and give the nomination to the last one to break.

It’s not torture. It’s an enhanced debate technique.

They’d probably just take turns torturing Ron Paul to show how tough they are, and then say that he brought this on himself with his foreign policy proposals.

Wolf Blitzer: Senator McCain: what would you draw from your experience serving in Vietnam as Commander-in-Chief?
McCain: That’s an excellent question. When I fought in ‘Nam, I learned that there are certain kinds of evil – civilizational threats, if you will – that have to be confronted head-on. And what we faced in North Vietnam was that kind of evil.
Blitzer: Because they tortured prisoners of war?
McCain: Exactly, because they tort– whoa! Whoa-ho! Oh, no. You almost got me that time, didn’t you? Ha ha ha …
(other candidates laugh)
Tancredo: Those Defeatocrat bloggers would’ve had a field day with that one on the YouTubes.
Romney: Close one, John.
Blitzer: Sorry, guys – Christiane Amanpour dared me to ask that one. Only serious questions from here on out.
Ron Paul: (head explodes in frustration)
