More Debate Shenanigans

The retired general who asked about gays and lesbians serving in the military at the CNN/YouTube Republican debate on Wednesday is a co-chairman of Hillary Rodham Clinton's National Military Veterans group.
Retired Brig. Gen. Keith H. Kerr was named a co-chairman of the group this month, according to a campaign press release.
He was also active in John F. Kerry's 2004 campaign for president.
Kerr asked candidates "why you think that American men and women in uniform are not professional enough to serve with gays and lesbians."
Claims CNN senior vice president David Bohrman, executive producer of the debate:
We regret this and apologize to the Republican candidates. We never would have used the general's question had we known that he was connected to any presidential candidate.
According to Joe Scarborough, it's "total crap" that CNN didn't know Kerr was affiliated with the Clinton campaign. Other questionable questioners include a Breck Girl supporter, a Barack Hussein Obambi supporter, and a prominent union activist.
This certainly wouldn't be the first time a question was planted — either by Shrillary or by CNN.
The debates are so staged and tiresome, people are liable to stop watching altogether unless CNN perks them up a little, maybe by allowing the candidates to compete for cash prizes. Is Vanna White still around? Or better still, they could take a Fear Factor approach; I'm sure Dennis Kucinich wouldn't mind eating a cockroach or two… Oh that's right, he's a vegan.
Kerr followed up his question by denouncing the current "don't ask, don't tell" policy that the candidates had defended. Ironically, this policy was instituted during the Clinton Administration. But given Shrillary's slavish pandering to homosexuals, a future Clinton Administration would probably have our troops wearing pink uniforms and training in a bathhouse.
