YouTube, CNN invite cats falling out of trees to US Prez debates

James Cleveland

Oh dear. 

If the intelligence of youtube comments is going to go by, this will be pretty much the worst thing ever.

Oh wait its american politics.

Now wait a minute 

We are doing our best to make American Politics as interesting as the rest of the world.

Why, just last week we had State Senators in Alabama brawling on the floor of their Senate.

And don't tell me that you aren't amused by the antics of my very own, Conan: the Governor.

Stuart Van Onselen

Puh-leez 

While that Alabama punch-up was mildly entertaining, you have a LONG way to go before you equal the Taiwanese or Japanese legislatures...

Comparing pros to amateurs 

Give us a chance to test waters a little and then work up to the professional level. Those politicians in Taiwan and Japan are the big leagues. I certainly don't expect Beckham level performance from amateur level players.

Also, our press still goes apoplectic when a politician says something as "controversial" as "Immigrants should avoid Spanish-language media to learn English". Do you want their heads to explode? (Come to think of it, that might be a desirable outcome.)

George Brown

Taiwanese and Japanese? 

Sorry for the ignorance, but it does sound interesting - what exactly about Taiwanese and Japanese legislatures?
