QUESTIONS QUESTIONS EVERYWHERE

A lot of people are getting in on the act to make suggestions to Tim Russer as to what questions he should (but of course, won't, at least forcefully) ask Dubya on sunday.

David Corn of The Nation.

Brad Delong.

Joe Conason of Salon.

Hesiod.

ABC's The Note.

And Roger Ailes has advice for viewers regarding what to look for:
Look for (1) "hard questions" phrased in such an open-ended manner that Bush can answer them in any way he likes ("you're a fiscal conservative, but what about the deficit?," "is this country really safer since 9/11?"); (2) no gotcha quotes, unanticipated topics or facts and figures; (3) ample opportunity to either bash the Dems or claim the high road ("I'm too busy protecting the country to pay attention to what the Democrats say").
