I’m re-posting from Treacher because this is awesome and I hope he doesn’t mind. Some of Gwen Ifill’s questions for the VP debate:
Mayor Palin, Barack Obama is a handsome, charismatic demigod. How many boxes of Kleenex will you need after your crushing loss?
Senator Biden, what is your favorite color? And if you have time for a follow-up question: Why?
Mayor, you talk funny and you own a tanning bed. Why haven’t you released Trig’s birth certificate?
Senator, have you seen those pictures of Obama in his swim trunks? If not, I have them right here.
Mayor, what are the names, ages, and blood types of all 71 members of the Belgian Senate? And why are you unwilling to admit that your inability to instantly produce any and every fact I demand makes you unfit to stand in the way of history?
Senator, you’ve spoken at length. Could you please continue?
Mayor, which is your preferred method of stifling dissent, banning books or burning them? Since it’s both, please explain how you can deny the accusation that you’re a fascist, which I am making now.
Senator, could you please sign my book?
And as Treacher points out, maybe SNL will pick this idea up for a skit as well.
what are you going to do on november 5th? you won’t have anything to write about anymore.
@Larissa Westerfield: Oh don’t worry, an Obama Administration will be plenty destructive to keep me going for a while.
It’s not that I’m in love with McCain. There’s plenty I don’t like about it. But on every issue I don’t like McCain, Obama seems to have nearly identical policies.
These questions are obviously based on the premise that the MSM is in love with Obama. If it’s not true, then why did the SNL skits back in the spring involving the media’s treatment of Hillary vs. Obama ring such a chord with America? Because we all saw it, it was clear to anyone who was paying attention. And it doesn’t much help that so many of the people that are supposed to be reporting news are admitted, fervent supporters of Obama.
If Obama loses this election, it’ll most likely be because all this shady business in which he’s been involved these many years, the stuff the media has willfully ignored and even actively supressed, will finally hit the fan. And you’ll have the media to thank for it:
You don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to. And despite its complete consistency with the media’s behavior over the last year or so, you probably won’t.
