Solving the Debate Overcrowding
The Republicans have a unique solution to the overcrowding at the debates: For the next Republican debate, most of them are too yellow to show. You see, once again, there will be YouTube questions, and these people think they can end terrorism and perhaps more importantly, scare away those nasty immigrants, but what they can't stand is one of those YouTube questioners might ask them a nasty question, and they're too sensitivo. They might cry. So they're going to hide.
Rush Limbaugh and Rudy Giuliani are trying to kill the YouTube/CNN debate. Rush, of course, is against the debate because he believes that YouTube is a tool of the devil…er, the liberals. Rush believes this because YouTube is the most popular single information and entertainment forum in the United States right now, and anything more popular than him is likely to cost Limbaugh money…I mean, is evil. Giuliani is against the debate because he’s against all debate. So far, only Ron Paul and John McCain have signed on for the debate. So far, most of the Republican field would rather stay on Rush’s good side than, you know, try to get elected President.
I think it’s pretty well-established that Ron Paul will stand in front of any microphone, anywhere. Can other Republicans convince Rep. Paul from forgoing close to an hour of airtime? I don't think so. And John McCain is demonstrably unafraid of things even scarier than answering questions. So those two are unlikely to drop out of the debate. If the 7 other Republicans refuse to attend the debate, which is co-sponsored by the Republican party of Florida , whose primary will be the week before Ultra-Super-Duper-Grand-Colossal-Tuesday, then I am sure that Rep. Paul and Senator McCain will miss them, but bear up manfully despite their absence.
UPDATE: It's been pointed out to me that Giuliani has every reason to fear a NY firefighter (or, even worse, a firefighter's widow) asking why his brother firefighters (or her husband) weren't retrieved and given proper burial. And why they didn't have proper communication equipment, so they knew to get out of the buildings in the first place. Since those deaths and those unburied bodies rest squarely on the former Hizzoner's shoulders, he has every reason to fear such a televised moment. Giuliani isn't likely to let the facts damage the rationale of his candidacy.
