Who’s the Reaganiest?

CNN thoughtfully provided me with these links to clips offered for this evening’s Republican Presidential YouTube debate in Florida, but what would really be great is if they actually made the debate’s roster of questions:

* First, a serious one from Kirk Douglas, who expresses his concern for our future generations and wonders what the candidates would do for them.

* Then, this pretty hilarious one from Red State Update, demanding to know which candidate is the Reaganiest, then demanding the debaters all put their hands down with some pretty keen eviscerations.

* Finally, the Ghost of Richard Nixon asks a question that genuinely deserves to be asked: What, if any, are the extents of Executive Privilege? Can a President withhold vital information as he sees fit? (Gee, outside of Nixon, who could he be thinking about…?)

Anyway, the Democratic YouTube debate was pretty surreal (remember the guy with his semi-automatic “baby?”), and YouTubers, thanks to CNN having to herd the candidates toward this debate like so many cats, have had plenty of opportunity to be creative with their questions, as evidenced above.

Perhaps this will be the first-ever Presidential-debate-as-performance-art. Worse things could happen.
