If the media wants a chili burrito with hot sauce....
give them a chili burrito with hot sauce. We know they suck and are doing a pitiful job. They want controversy and rumors and something they can talk about for days at a time. We don't like that reality but that is who they are.

We have to work with that reality, out of necessity, in my opinion. Just as today, when Kerry challenged Bush to weekly debates, they jumped all over it. And yesterday, when Max Cleland went down to Crawford, the media jumped all over it. We know what they like to eat. Let's feed it to them. :)

1. Couldn't agree more.
The more media stunts like Max's, the better. Let's face it, our side has a lot more credible people than theirs. Shove their own dung back in their faces and let the whining begin!

2. It's unfortunate, but I think you're right -- let's go for a combo plate
and give Rove some heartburn. Didn't we hear something recently about everything being on the table? And when it comes to Bush, that table is loaded!

5. Kerry could schedule weekly debates, to which W is welcome to attend
He can have an empty chair or podium for W, and debate it just like he'd debate W. Take questions from a panel of moderators, or do it town-hall format. Maybe even let someone from the audience who thinks they could do a better job than an empty lectern debate him.

But start off the night with an empty spot reserved for bush.
