Heat Fever Dreams

Another sign that the GOP is coming apart at the seams is their continuing discussion about how to do their debates differently in the next presidential cycle. They want many less of them. They don't want them hosted by unfriendly news outlets, which means that Fox News and maybe ABC News are the only outlets in the running. Now there are thinking of letting shock jock radio hosts like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Mark Levin host a debate. I sat with Duncan at the ACORN debate and I agree that it was pretty good. I don't agree that a debate hosted by radio shock jocks would be good. At least, it wouldn't be good for the candidates or their party. The difference is that ACORN was a community organization dedicated to helping people on the margins of society. Limbaugh, Hannity, and Levin are charlatans and entertainers. The ACORN debate featured questions that you won't hear Wolf Blitzer ask because he doesn't use a check cashing joint, take out tax rebate advance loans, or have a ballooning mortgage he can't afford. His neighborhood isn't riddled with bullets, either. The cops didn't stop and frisk his son.

But a shock jock debate would be all about the right's manufactured heat fever dreams. In other words, it would be about lies that Republicans are afraid to admit are lies. The whole point would be to keep everything safe within the bubble where those lies are never challenged. But to anyone who hadn't marinated in that bubble for the last five years, it would appear like a lunatic asylum having a lecture series.

Bad idea.

1. Add RNC Preibust to the list of charlatans!

As if he has any authority over who wants to debate on any network. I can't believe his asinine demands of the networks. What a complete ass. He will look so dumb, come 2015 when the running of the "bulls-rethugs" begin. They'll flick the j.o like a gnat buzzing around their corrupt, greedy and nasty heads.........

Oh, dear She, you have a lovely way with words. I meant to say so long before this

"having an inflamed base"

the running of the "bulls-rethugs"

Oh my dear Isoldeblue you have a way with words yourself!

2. That author only listed all the reasons

the Republicans think it's a great idea. It would totally seal the bubble and no reality would be allowed to penetrate any of their "debates," which are just disguised party pep rallies.

Unfortunately, it would ill prepare the ultimate stiff for a debate against any Democrat out there, but that's not what the GOP debates are about. They're about convincing party faithful to stay faithful.

Or the kneecaps. Of course they seem to be doing that for themselves.
