For those of you watching the Arizona Wildcats pluck the Oregon Ducks, there was another installment of the Democratic presidential debates tonight. The debate closed on a rather skull-scratching question pointed at Hillary Clinton: Does she prefer diamonds or pearls?
Hillary mocked her perceived weak stance on campaign issues and said she liked both. The Clog would have rather had her take a stance on the question. Something on the lines of “Well, if I had to choose blindly, I’d go with pearls because of the presence of blood diamonds in the market” would have certainly captured the Clog’s vote.
Either way, what does this say about the future of presidential debates? We already had our first presidential debate with questions provided by YouTube users, which turned out be extremely similar to a TV debate with overly dramatic questions.
Even though the Republican Party will not hold a debate at Berkeley, it got us wondering, what crazy twist could we throw in?
The obvious place to start would be to place Stoney Burke in the role of moderator. Who needs a PBS news anchor when you can have the Bay Area’s best street comedian.
The Clog figures Stoney would question the GOP candidates hard on their voting records concerning the Iraq war and would make certain to press on the increasing cost of higher education.
Needless to say, Stoney would blow his cherished whistle and trash Rudy Giuliani the second he reached to answer a phone call from “his wife.”
