Thanks to Al Franken (on Air America) I now see how Kerry

[rock]

should frame his questions to bushsucks* during the debates. Here's a couple of examples. See if you can detect the formula (a la Al):

1) Do you think it's bad to have a budget deficit of 400 billion a year, or are you a moron?

2) Do you think it was a bad idea to invade Iraq or are you a moron?

3) Do you think the economy is in bad shape or are you a moron?

1. Am I glad to see Rock, or am I a moron?

:D

:hi:

[rock]

2. Thanks Cat

I see you're as sassy as ever or am I a moron?

3. Just got done reading "Bush on the Couch"

If Kerry chooses his words well, he can throw Bush off message and have him screw up big time. I look forward to this.

6. "If your enemy is of choleric temper, irritate him."-Sun Tzu

I think it's important to understand Bush's warped psychology so it can be exploited. If Kerry plays his cards right Bush could have an incoherent megalomaniac meltdown on national TV.

7. Didn't that happen to Reagan during a debate and he STILL won?

I'd love to see this happen to Bushie, though...come on, Kerry--bring it on!

BUSH MUST GO!!

8. Interesting. Not having read that book (yet), I'm interested in

what approaches might work when debating with someone like * -- can you elaborate some more? I'd love to see * melt down like one of the computers in the old Star Trek when presented with a contradiction. Thanks.

4. Hey, this is fun (if you're not a moron)!

4) Do you think flouting the Geneva Conventions (a la Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, etc.) is not a good idea, or are you a moron?

5) Do you think the PATRIOT ACT is unconstitutional, or are you a moron?

6) Do you think eroding the separation of church and state is dangerous or are you a moron?

7) Do you think we should have international allies, or are you a moron?

8) Do you think the best thing about that US is that it has a middle class, or are you a moron?

5. Franken is a sex symbol!

to me anyway. Smart as a whip, and funny as hell. I can't wait for his next book!

9. and three more...

9) Do you really think that "trickle down economics" works, or are you a moron?

10) Do you really think that global warming is a liberal-psuedo-science hunch, or are you a moron?

11) Do you really think outsourcing American jobs will improve our economy, or are you a moron?
