That could be a problem for some of us.
When President Obama sits down for his MTV town hall this Thursday, the audience of young people who will ask him questions will have been gathered by a casting call. According to the casting call for the event from talent agency Backstage.com, first reported by National Review Online, the company requests applications for the event, asking what issues the person is “passionate about,” requiring a “short description of your political views,” and also asks for a recent photo.
Newsflash. The ORIGINAL Clinton "townhall" on MTV was a fraud too. The girl who asked the Boxers or Briefs question was the daughter of a CBS journalist. She and her mom discussed topics to ask Bill and settled on recreational drug legalization. The screeners nixed her question and asked for something lighter, thus the "spontaneous" boxers or briefs comment (that was also used to slur an entire generation as being pop-fixated lightweights).
