Splunge does it again!First off: Doesn't Splunge sound like the name of some evil space leutenant from a comic book? Can our heroes defeat Lt. Splunge and his armada of Slimewonks in time to defuse the negabomb under the George Washington Bridge?!? Find out next ish!! Campus Press Notes links to a Eileen McNarama column concerning a Q&A session from The Senator's recent visit to Harvard: Handpicked students -- just the right mix of gender and ethnicity -- are led to microphones to ask prescreened questions. "Your parents paid tons of money and pulled every string they could to get you here," Birch reminds them. "They are looking for you to ask a question tonight." Not just any question, though. "No Iraq, no Medicare, no health care," instructs one handler, patrolling the aisles in search of some predetermined balance.Disgusting, isn't it? Not only that his handlers had the nerve to squelch the audience, but that the Trust Fund Babies seemed to go along with it. McNamara reports that only co-panelist Chris Matthews received an Iraq question: Iraq is the focus of Matthews's questions, however, because Kerry cannot summon a direct answer to a direct question about either his vote authorizing Bush to use force against Iraq, or his vote denying the president the funds to rebuild the country. When pressed, Kerry explains that "Sometimes in foreign policy, certain things are complicated. Life is complicated." Well, ah, yeah.Thanks for the clarification John. |
