In one standard time-filler on a cable TV news show, the intrepid reporter queried the man-on-the-street (Pennsylvania Avenue in DC, no less) "What would you do on your first day in office if you were elected Commander in Chief"? Would you be surprised if the top two responses were 'Party!' and 'Paint the White House a different color!'? What if I told you that most of the latter were voiced by female adults and the former came from the mouths of babes (i.e., young children, not attractive female adults)? Would that make you laugh or cry?
Another gem involves the six year old daughter of the junior Senator from Illinois. It seems nothing is off limits in a Presidential campaign. Presumably to offer evidence of the high level of family values maintained by the Candidate and by the mother of his children, he reported that it was his daughter's considered opinion that Britney, Paris, and others of that ilk were 'yuck!'.
These are but a random sampling of inanities encountered on this most over-hyped media circuit since OJ got away with murder on prime time. Makes one want to run out and register. Only question being 'before or after puking your guts out?'.
