Who would you MOST like to see debate Bush*?

[eileen_d]

I was going to make this a poll but darnit, I'm not a donor anymore. But I think it would be even more fun if we didn't limit it to the 10 Democratic candidates. Please respond with ANY human being you would like to see debate Shrub one-one-one, and DO feel free to elaborate with sample dialogue.

I'll start: having seen Angela Davis give a powerful speech at my college years ago, I would love to see her take on Shrub. He would sound like the "mwa-wa-mwa-wa" lady on Charlie Brown in comparison.

Edit: Of the ten candidates, it's a tough choice, and Sharpton would be fantastic - but if I actually pulled the strings, I'd say Dean.

[ShaneGR]

1. Dream debate??? Without a doubt, Bill Clinton

Clinton would DESTROY him. As for the candidates, I think Edwards would do the best, while Dean or Clark would also do very well.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

10. That's not a debate, that's a massacre..

As you said, Clinton would destroy Bush completely. I'd like to see Wes Clark debate him, or Howard Dean.

[efhmc]

19. I always dreamed of that twit facing Clinton.

What a fun thing that would be.

[blm]

44. How about Ted Kaczynski from their jail cells?

.

[gyopsy]

2. Bill Clinton

what the hell? Any human being? I think it would be interesting.

[zonmoy]

24. Does it have to be human

I would love to have the devil debate bush. Of course it would have to be an election for ruler of hell. Bush would win of course being the more corrupt of the two.

[eileen_d]

25. Oh, I can grant "special dispensation" on that one

Devil: "I run HELL better than this!"
Bush: "Um... terra"

[glarius]

26. If non-human...how about CHEETAH?......the ape would win....LOL

:)

[eleny]

3. My first choice would be

Clark, since I support his candidacy.

But for pure delight, I'd pay to see Sharpton debate the shrubbery.

[gyopsy]

4. Clark would do great...

and the ways things are looking, I'm sure he'll get his shot soon enough.

[catforclark2004]

18. Clark debating Bush's American Empire with Dimson....want to see!

Wesley Clark's new Book, "Waging Mordern Wars", just came out and is being hailed as a "Searing Critique" of Bush's American "Empire" foreign policy.

I want to see that foreign policy debate.

Since the Bush White House does not read FBI memos nor intelligence reports, the only way that they may read this book is to prepare for a debate.

Unfortunately, the Dimson will be debating the Author.......now that will be something to behold!

[Wapsie B]

41. Clark for sure.

Having a four-star general ask the chimp what he did in the war would be priceless!

[Mz Pip]

5. Here's one that will not happen

but would be worth paying a high price to see. Al Sharpton.
His ability to deliver zingers seems to be off the charts. I think George's eyes would just glaze over and he would crap in his Depends.

MzPip
:dem:

[eileen_d]

7. That definitely occurred to me

Sharpton's so quick Bush would probably have to ask for a translator.

[Solomon]

6. Without a Doubt. Al Sharpton

It would be a massacre. Al would kill him. :spank:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

8. Al Sharpton or Al Franken or

Janeane Garofalo.

[proud patriot]

9. ME ...I personally would love to debate him ..

:hi:

[Mz Pip]

12. Oh yeah!

Steel cage death match! Proud Patriot vs. Crusader Bunnypants. Bunnypants would last about 2 minutes again you! :evilgrin:

on edit: Maybe we can tag team him?!

:hi:

MzPip
:dem:

[proud patriot]

17. You bet .. But I don't think he'd last long enough

to have to tag team ..:evilgrin: LOL

[eileen_d]

14. But you'd have to shake his hand!

You might get cooties. :crazy:

[rwheeler31]

11. John Edwards

He has a disarming way of reveling the truth, and * must be disarmed. Second choice Barney Frank cant get more legal than that guy.

[PurityOfEssence]

32. I'm waiting like a kid for Christmas for this one...

In one corner, a polished, articulate, warm, balanced, honorable, self-made man, and in the other corner we have a viscious, bumbling, nasty, addled, fake, propped-up child of privilege. I dream of this match-up, even though it would be a version of sadism against the sadistic.

Of current politicians, I'd like to see him take on Pete Stark, Jan Schakowsky, Hillary Clinton or, as you've pointed out, that national treasure Barney Frank.

[bearfartinthewoods]

42. yep!!! his performance at the debates has been supurb!

trail lawyers, the successful ones, are excellant in debates. they train their mind for logic, retain details and develop excellant performance stratedgies. i'd crawl across broken glass to see that.

[Julien Sorel]

13. Sharpton would leave him (more) tongue tied.

Sometime in mid-debate, and I'm not kidding here, Bush would start registering expressions on his face that nobody has ever seen before, that our language lacks words to describe.

It isn't just that Sharpton is smart and a gifted wordsmith, but that he is unorthodox and highly creative. Bush has trouble following normal discourse, let alone some of the stuff Sharpton would throw at him to take him off guard.

[Minstrel Boy]

27. Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin,

If he could be persuaded to switch parties, Abraham Lincoln.

Franklin Roosevelt.

Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Paul Wellstone.

A whole host of restless spirits, wailing for their country like Marley's ghost.

[catforclark2004]

31. That is a gorgeous PIC!

That Clark not only did he take 4 bullets for you, is super intelligent and has balls....but he's really really handsome...in uniform or out. Thanks for the Pic....again...

[_Jumper_]

15. Noam Chomsky on foreign policy

n/m

[eileen_d]

16. Oh, delicious! n/t

[Loyal]

20. I would pick one of these people:

Bill Clinton, Al Sharpton, John Kerry, or John Edwards. I think any of them would positively destroy Bush in a debate. My first pick would have to be Bill Clinton though.

[Kool Kitty]

21. I'd love to see him debate Al Sharpton.

W wouldn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his ass. Al would leave him weeping.

[Solomon]

23. It would be humiliating.

:spank: :evilgrin:

[madrchsod]

22. clark

he`s got all the tools to shame bush in a debate. he may have the balls to call him on his cowardise during nam....

[catforclark2004]

29. Unlike many of the other real "Democrats"

Bush was AWOL and they are not talking about it......? Dean's got the balls, so why hasn't he mentioned it? theehee

The advantage that General Wesley Clark has is that he can call Bush out of the toy flight suit!......even if they "catch" Saddam. He didn't take four (4) bullets and kept commanding his battalion for nothing! And he was just a mere lad then. His book that just came out is being hailed "searing critique" of Bush's American Empire aka, Project for the New American Century (pnac). Haven't hear the others mention that either come to think of it.

[mhr]

28. Sharpton, Sharpton, Sharpton

Seeing Cement Head bested by a Black Man would send the Freepers over the edge.

I am sure that the suicide rate would treble over night.

The stock market would crash the following day.

And Southern white males would march on Washington demanding reparations for all their ancestors lost slaves.

It could be the great awakening that finally sends conservatives to political oblivion.

[Skip Intro]

30. Jannene Garafallo (or Dean, Kucinich, Clark, etc) n/t

n/t

[imax2268]

33. I would have to say...

that just about anyone would put him in his place...

[lostnfound]

34. Dr. Seuss? Big Bird? <-No language barrier. Else, Greg Palast.

Seuss & Big Bird for obvious reasons. Palast would slice and dice Bush with Bush/Enron's own history.

[dean4america]

35. good Q

All-Time: the Big Dog, hands down. That would be worse than when he whacked Poppy Bush and Bob Dole.

Now: Dean, cos he won't take any shit from anyone in a debate format.

I'd also love to see Bush have to go through the public throttling that Blair goes through on a weekly basis - that is good entertainment, and damnit if Blair does do pretty well for himself in that situation (iraq notwithstanding).

[angka]

36. me! me! me! (jumping donkey from shrek DVD)

maybe chimpy can have cheney, and i'll team up with proud patriot (above), and we could tap their metaphorical ass oxford-style.

[Q]

37. I'd like to see him debate...

...Jesus.

[Iverson]

51. WWJD ...

Who would Jesus debate?

[Spirochete]

38. I vote for...

the tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park. I'd love to see them on a soundstage together. hehe

[NicRic]

39. Clinton, Gore, and Mario Cumo !

Either one of them ,could easily make bush look like the dumb ass he is ! I would like to see Clinton ,because he has double the IQ. of bush .Gore because he has so many I told you so's ! Then Cumo because he is very good at making someone eat their own words !

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

40. Michael Moore

Any career politician would tend to be "diplomatic" and I suspect that even somebody like Al Franken is just too nice a guy to really sink the blade in too deep.

I think Mike Moore would cut him into bite-sized pieces and enjoy himself at the same time.

[JHB]

43. His cellmate.

If we can get to that point, I'll pony up for pay-per-view.

[ignatius]

45. Kristen Breitweiser.

[Selwynn]

46. Noam Chomsky >:)

(nt)

[Stuckinthebush]

47. Is Noam Chomsky available?

Now that would be funny.

[Iverson]

48. Mel Brooks, Noam Chomsky, Medea Benjamin, Spike Lee

n/t

[Selwynn]

49. Or.. or....or!

Sorry for the spam post, but if we don't limit it to non-fictional characters, then my dream debate would be:

George Bush vs. Josiah Bartlett!

"well first off let's clear up one thing, unfunded mandate is two words not 'one big word.'" :) :) :)

[Bozita]

50. the parrot on Al Franken's left shoulder

Anyone else see him on CSPAN over the weekend?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

52. right now?.......Ted Kennedy and Al Sharpton

[Malikshah]

53. My cat

She'd wipe the floor with him.

[Padraig18]

54. Sen. Robert Byrd

He is today's "Sen. Sam" Ervin. :)

[Malikshah]

55. OK, I'll change my vote

Byrd first-- then my cat.

Good choice there-- Byrd's withering style will reduce * to a puddle of filth.
