Snooze Alert!

First, a link to the article:  http://townhall.com/columnists/GreggJackson/2008/08/07/15_questions_rick_warren_should_ask_obama_and_mccain

Now for what Rev. Warren had to say:  “Since I’m their friend, I’m not going to give them any gotcha questions,” Mr. Warren said, adding that a typical query would be, “What’s the most difficult decision you’ve had to make, and how did you make it?”

Snooze alert.  'Gotcha' questions.  It's gonna be softball...no...T-ball. 

Granted, most of the questions that Mr Jackson would like to ask inclued homosexuality and abortion, but there are other things to ask.

Mr Candidate - do you believe in moral equivalence?  Is it OK to steal money if you do good with the money that is taken?  How about if you buy alcohol with it?

Mr Candidate - we know, from various polls, that many Americans do believe in moral equivalence.  Do you see this as a problem?  If so, why?  If not, why not?

Is it OK to plagarize? 

What are your plan(s) to fix the education system?  Give specifics.

What are your thoughts on 'unfunded mandates?'

Those are a few of the questions I'd ask...but given that this is CNN and given that Rev. Warren is a friend of both gentlemen, I expect the questions to be along the lines of "If blue were a number, what number would it be?" (which is an actual question from TERC Investigations.  (Honestly.))

I can safely say that I'll be doing something else while the snooze-fest is played out on CNN.  Pity, too.  They used to be the world's most important network.  And while I can now think of plenty of words to describe them, 'important' ain't one of 'em.  But in keeping with the "I"....  how about ... irrelevant?
