Ponytail Guy Lives: 'How Are You Going to Fix My Life?'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

You remember Ponytail Guy, who during a 1992 presidential townhall pathetically implored the candidates to "treat us as your children." I don't know what's become of Ponytail Guy, but his Big Mommy Government-loving spirit was celebrated on CNN this evening.

At 5:40 PM ET on the Situation Room, anchor Suzanne Malveaux asked congressional correspondent Jessica Yellin what she was seeing out on the campaign trail in Iowa that the TV cameras might not be capturing.

THE PONYTAILED GUY:"The focus of my work is domestic mediation, is meeting the needs of the children that I work with by way of their parents and not the wants of their parents, and I ask the three of you, how can we as symbolically the children of the future president expect the two of you, the three of you to meet our needs?"

Interestingly, if you search the PBS transcript of the 2nd Presidential debate (October 19, 1992), the part with the Ponytail Guy's question and the candidates' answers has been deleted from the transcript. I wonder why?
