"Cleveland, What's Your Question For One of These Next Presidents?"

"What's your question for the new pope? Is this the new pope? Where's my sandwich?"

Legendary maniac Larry King will emcee the third presidential debate. Think about this. Our grand 2012 debate season began with a confused shark-eyed zombie, moved up to a cool and serious lady for the Biden-Ryan thing, and then got all ethical and fact-checky with Candy Crowley. The only possible “big finish” is to bring in a hundred-year-old Vaudeville/CNN star from the Golden Age of Radio for the final debate. Will David Lynch direct? It will be the most historical moment in Larry King’s career since he found something weird in his slipper this morning and also thought he heard the great Walter Matthau speaking through a poinsettia in the solarium …. Oh, wait. Larry King is just hosting the “third party debate”? So no Romney, no Obama? That’s not even worth a blog post, although it’s apparently worth hundreds of actual news articles.
