Well, it’s 9:14 pm on Monday, July 23rd -just minutes after the unbelievably important and innovative Democrat candidate debate put on by CNN and You Tube. The debate was hyped for about 64 days in advance because, not only would it be on CNN (distantly the second biggest name in cable news!), but the questions were submitted via the video site You Tube -- and You Tube is on the internet, which for the young bucks running CNN is a new idea.
Through this alliance, average citizens with digital video cameras and web access (suddenly no Democrat talk of a digital divide) could record a question and, in just picoseconds, have it zoomed to CNN via You Tube -- where it would sit for days to weeks until a couple of dozen videos asking the same questions that CNN staff would have asked directly could be cherry picked and played on a small screen with poor sound quality. Now that’s revolutionary!
Submitting prewritten questions to CNN days ahead of time is clearly a miracle of technology. This is not the sort of thing that could have been accomplished by the United States Postal Service in previous times. But You Tube videos are hip, baby, so don't question the premise of the high-tech suggestion box. And saying that the process means that now “anyone” can question the candidates is a little like saying anyone can date Gisele Bündchen. We can all apply, but ultimately somebody else makes the decision for us and most of us ain’t making the cut. (Gisele, call me!)
The actual debate began with some self-important autovideographer berating the candidates while using repeated “air quotes” (picture me using “air quotes” while saying “air quotes”). Man, that “video” could be just what TV needs to reinvigorate itself.

Never heard of her.
This witty editorial has some pricesless excerpts:
“One is that Mike Gravel is quite insane. In case you don’t know who he is, he’s one of the two old fart characters from “The Muppet Show” who used to sit up in the balcony and tell Kermit the whole place was going to Hell in a hand basket. He’s now running for President and is angry about some things — –mostly anything real, but a good deal of his anger was also aimed at the imaginary. He’s still so mad Vietnam that he wants us to withdraw from Iraq via Saigon.”
Giselle Bundchen is Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex, a Brazilian supermodel.
Ping to a funny article.
The picture didn’t show.

You Boob... thats a keeper!
"Vote or die!"
"Wassup!"
Someone should ping the humor list if there is such a thing?
Perhaps the Mod’s could add ( Very Funny ) to your title?
That way people would read it.
“Giselle Bundchen is Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex, a Brazilian supermodel.”
Supermodel? Is there a litmus test for being a supermodel compared to say, being just a plain ole ordinary model?
I think that the litmus test is the salary they command and the amount of publicity they get.
Uber-Model!
Cant believe these U-Boobs!
Thanks for the ping!
