Six conservative bloggers who would be awesome moderators in a GOP – or, better, Democrat – debate

August 22, 2011

Over at American Glob, Aleister has a suggestion:

Maybe there should be a GOP debate which is moderated only by conservative bloggers.

He then proceeds to choose his six favored candidates. But fer cry-eye: he chooses six of the biggest names in the conservative blogosphere!

Ed Morrissey? Glenn Reynolds? Michelle Malkin? What’s the challenge in picking them? Where’s the fun? And besides, that’s like totally selling out to The Man, conservative-blogosphere-style.

Naturally, I can’t be critical like this without suggesting my own potential moderators. So, here. These are my picks for conservative blogger/debate moderator (besides myself, of course), and, as a bonus, one question I think each of them would ask:

  • Frank J.: “In a fight against Aquaman, what would your first move be and how quickly would it work?”
  • Stacy McCain: “Mr. Cain, your campaign has the momentum of a runaway freight train. What makes you so popular?”
  • Mister Pterodcatyl: “Mr. Huntsman: given the extent to which China holds American debt, do you think your campaign would be more effective if you conducted it entirely in Mandarin?”
  • Bill Teach: “Please look at this picture and tell me what you see.”
  • Grandpa Steve: “Can you help me get this booger off my finger?”
  • Tamara K.: “As President, what will your preferred personal sidearm be? Please be specific.”

Okay, so I don’t actually think Grandpa Steve would ask that question. At least, not without telling the joke it came from first.

UPDATE – bonus questions in the comments. Plus, can anybody name the Vague Television Quote deftly hidden in this post?

    Of course, my question would be the most revealing. If any candidate offered a federal government program of booger release or a snot removal czar…

    How come I can’t play? Ron Paul already hates me.

    That’s even better, Tam!

    Sorry, Fred, I’d have put you in there if I’d known. Fred Dooley: “Mr. Paul, is your general unpleasantness a product of your upbringing, or simply internalized anger about your height? Or am I mistaking you for Dennis Kucinich…again?”
