Here’s the Difference Between Politics As Usual and the Über-Carny

Hartford Courant columnist Rick Green complained on his blog that the Senate candidates’ debates were stultifyingly dull. See “Campaign 911! Somebody Save These Boring ‘Debates,'” http://blogs.courant.com/rick_green/2010/04/linda-mcmahon-wwe-richard-blumenthal-senate-debate-hartford-club.html. Very funny.

Listing questions he wished the candidates were being asked at the debates, Green had this one for Rob Simmons: “If Linda McMahon’s record at World Wrestling Entertainment is so important to you, why can’t you at least once bring up steroid abuse in pro wrestlingat a public event instead of leaving it all to nasty emails sent by your staff?”

And for Linda herself, Green suggested this: “How could you possibly not remember what your major was in college?”
