IS THAT YOUR FINAL CANDIDATE?
Word from Matt Drudge (not the most reliable word in the world) is that Rupert Murdoch wants to give us a presidential candidate game show.
People will eliminate potential candidates by phone-vote a la "American Idol". This brings three problems:
1) If Justin made it to the finals of "American Idol", I fear for the future.
2) People voted hundreds of times a day in some instances in "American Idol". Somehow, the actual parties show a bit more integrity when nominating candidates.
3) Will all those Floridians wrongly purged from the rolls for supposedly being convicted felons 2000 get to vote for this?
Of course, odds are there are bound to be eligibility/constitutionality/cynthiamckinney problems. Or perhaps nothing will come of it. Besides, Murdoch still has NewsCorp, the Faux News Channel, NY Post, etc, so we all know where his allegiances remain. However, all overly-powerful rich guys are allowed one Howard Hughes-esque I-Run-The-World overstep. Right?
The irony, of course, is that given all the shameless sucking up to Dubya present in almost all of our mainstream media, this seems a shade redundant.
