The CNN/YouTube Debate Question You DIDN'T See

....because it would have given Fred Thompson more speaking time, and as we all know, everybody has now had the Fear of Fred put into them.

Seriously, with national security relegated to a sideshow (by all such questions being directed to non-entity John McCain), Hugh Hewitt's two purported "front-runners" relegated to a playground pissing match, and Mike f'ing Huckaberry designated the star of the show, what other conclusion can one draw?

Dick Armey is definitely looking long in the tooth, but his question is one that would have driven lefties up the wall, and reduced the other candidates to yapping mongrels at Senator Thompson's feet.

Which they kind of were anyway, only absent the spotlight being where it belonged.
