Uncovered: Lost CBS memo regarding format for third and final debate!
CBS | 10/13/04 | DoctorOfDemocracy

Posted on 10/13/2004 7:17:16 AM PDT by DoctorOfDemocracy

OCTOBER 13, 2004

TO: Bob Schieffer, C(BS)

FROM: Dan Rather (Biased), C(BS)

I think tonight's debate should be dramatically different from the first two. I think Bush and Kerry should come out with two buckets of fish each. For each question, they should be given thirty seconds and then for the rebuttal - the opposing candidate will reach down into the bucket, pull out some huge striped bass and begin clobbering his opponent seneslessly! That way the candidates will have a 50-50 chance of showing the country what they're made of.

Now that would be a debate!

Note to Peta, no animals would be abused in this debate format!

Also, following the debate, I'll cite some instant polling data with forged documents - or better yet - polling data from the 2000 race.

Courage,

Dan Rather

This is similar to my thoughts on the debate format. Except I pictured each candidate having a 2x4. (I'm convident that Dubya can take him out)

I'm against violence of that kind. That's why I support fish-slap debating. All glory to God and Monty Python.

When you say woodwork, it reminds me of Kerry's face and Bush's steadfastness. When you mention porous again, I think of Kerry's arguments (and sigh, our borders too).

Kerry would still be beaten pretty bad. He wouldn't want to get those newly manicured nails dirty.

BUSH wins again!

I think you forgot to include these guys on the distribution list: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin . . .
