Connecticut political reporter Mark Pazniokas has a decent takeout on last night’s Senate debate between Richard Blumenthal and Linda McMahon. See “Spotlight on wrestling in final Blumenthal-McMahon debate,” http:\/\/www.ctmirror.org\/story\/8030\/spotlight-wrestling-final-blumenthal-mcmahon-debate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am amused, however, by this conclusion by Pazniokas: “[McMahon’s] answer provided an opening for a dramatic moment, for Blumenthal to question if the abuse of women and the mentally disabled was merely pushing the envelope. Instead he settled for contrasting his career with hers.”<\/p>\n

Here again is the exchange that politicos, oddly, seem to regard as a bunt single rather than a home run:<\/p>\n

Blumenthal<\/em>: “I can’t believe that I just heard Ms. McMahon brag about this wellness policy at WWE. She requires all wrestlers to sign a death clause that absolves WWE of all responsibility if wrestlers are killed in the ring and if the company is at fault – absolves her company of all responsibility. That wellness policy is not working too well. There have been seven dead wrestlers since she started campaigning for this office. I would suggest some other policy might be advisable.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

…<\/strong><\/p>\n

McMahon<\/em>: “There is absolutely a program in place to help men and women in WWE – these performers who are in the ring. And the consequences of death is a very sad thing when that happens, but those were not consequences as a result of ring performances.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
