The YouTube Democratic debate didn't do much for me, but it did whet my appetite for the GOP YouTube debate that'll happen on September 17 -- if only because many of the questioners last night struck me as precisely the sort of disgruntled outsiders Rudy Giuliani used to have arrested when he was mayor of New York, when he wasn't denouncing them as mentally disturbed. And recall this line from last Sunday's New York Times article about Giuliani and race:

Black leaders, Mr. Giuliani said in 1994, had to "learn how to discipline themselves in the way in which they speak" if they expected to chat with him.

Yeah, it'll be big fun to see how he reacts to an anti-global-warming snowman voiced in falsetto, or a smart-ass waving an assault rifle, or whatever their equivalents will be a couple of months from now.
