(I tried this over the weekend, apologies to those who have seen it before. Has since been deleted, didn't work as intended... thought I would give it another shot in dKos prime time.)
In the spirit of Westegg's generous assist for Bill Keller, I have decided to join the White House Press Corps. And you can too.
Do you remember during the presidential debates, that one debate where the audience came up with the questions? Those questions were fantastic, as I recall... and there's no reason why we can't do that now.
It'll be easy, and here's what you can do: Think of a question that you would ask Bush if you had the chance, and post it below. Read through the questions others post... if you think it's a great question, bestow some mojo. If you see a way the question can be improved, then make a suggestion below it.
If this gets on the recommended list, I will either update to show the top ten questions, or I will start a new post and list them. Either way they will be ready to cut and paste into email. And maybe make it a weekly thing... I think that there might be an awful lot of power to be had there, and could be a way to force it into the public forum.
I would like to see questions that are non-partisan as possible. I believe that the Bush Administration has challenged this country into a great discussion, not among the ideals of any particular persuasion... but of the common ideals that make the discussion possible. So we have plenty of material to work as Americans before Democrats.
