I don’t know if the pony tailed guy was a plant or not. I can’t remember which debate it was but the pony tailed guy asked Bill Clinton how the government was going to take care of us or something stupid like that.
Oh, yeah!! I remember Clinton responding to the pony tailed guy!! I remember thinking that Clinton would have been a perfect host for an old daytime TV show called “Queen for a Day”. They gave away stuff to deserving moms that had fallen on hard times (lots of blubbering). I’m probably showing my age here; its been off the air for a long time. He would have been perfect.
IIRC, it was Perot who was asked the "question", upon which the pony-tail guy began lamenting in sing-song voice "but we're your children, we're your children". Perot had a perplexed look on his face as he realized it was a set up ... if looks could kill!
Clinton meanwhile, seemed to relax visibly with satisfaction and an odd little smile which suggested that the pony-tail guy did a good job .....
Anyway, thats my remembrance of it ... FWIW, it happened a long time ago so maybe I'm wrong.
