Question Time would have saved us a lot of pain with Bush II. His dad would have survived, but there would have been no hint of a Bush dynasty. Quick thinking and excellent communications skills are at least fifty percent of the requirements for office. The other fifty percent is the meat. Question Time is the quality control and accounting for these requrements, and that's what we are missing.
