"Would it be a good thing if Bill Clinton moved back into the White House?"
This is just one of the many thought-provoking questions asked by Chris Matthews to ten Presidential candidates in yesterday's Republican "Debate". But why should we be surprised? After all, watching Chris Mathews' "Hardball" show is a lot like watching a football game. In his world, politics is all about this guy vs. that guy, who poked a cheap remark at whom, who's the most "presidential", who can "win it". It's all about appearing, never about being. His "down the line" debate questions requiring a quick yes-or-no answer forced each candidate to stoop down to his game-show antics; it was a tear-jerker to watch these grown men scrambling to quickly spit out something that would get them into the least amount of trouble.
Suspenseful and action-packed? Yes. Useful? About as much as the last episode of American Idol.
