David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. 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.
* 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.
- Republican Presidential candidate debate: 5 tonight, CNN.

Somewhat similar to the YouTube debate format, Clinton, Obama and Edwards take calls from the ever-thoughtful American electorate on Larry King Live, with disastrous results:
