Title: The hypothetical questions they should ask at the presidential debates
Post by: Skywalker on July 26, 2007, 08:03:39 AM

Wouldn't politics be much more fun if they asked these questions instead?  BTW, the first question in the article was actually a real question asked during the Republican debate around a month ago.  Ha ha ha... it's like 24 or something.

Here's one example:

"Candidates, pay attention: An international financier has smuggled an atom bomb into Fort Knox. He loves gold... only gold. After an amazing sequence of events, including car chases, sexual conquests, and your defeat of the assassin known as Oddjob, you find yourself staring at the interior of a nuclear device. The final seconds are ticking down. This goes to you, Senator Clinton: Do you cut the blue wire, or do you cut the red wire?"

That was entertaining to figure out which movies he was referring too.  Though it was often pretty obvious.  I like the Air Force One question.  All future Presidents should be Harrison Ford.  As soon as they find a way to clone him that is.
