He's hardly deceptive, John. He might occasionally oversimplify, but that's
one of the restrictions of his trade.

	I think you miss the point of his diatribe. When Bush was on his show
a few weeks ago, he made the point much better. Here's Clinton, a man who's
only the Democratic candidate because he wound up with most of a small pool
of primary votes (Bush didn't say *that*, that comment is mine), telling
the President of the United States that he wants to debate based on a format
set up by some unheard-of group of people. Clinton is the *challenger* and
should therefore follow the rules and procedures established and adhered to
by past challengers. Clinto has this annoying thing about *changing* everything
as though his way is the better way. The panel format has worked well in
the past and it worked well last night (I'm writing this on Monday morning
after the first debate). 
	And Bush even agreed to compromise on the format, so we'll likely
see at least one single-moderator debate. This spirit of compromise is 
more than I've heard from Clinton's people.
	Rush's trademark comments are not pointed at the people on the
committee. I believe his focus was on the alteration of the traditional
format and Clinton's demand for the change.
	If Clinto really wants the job, he'll have to *take* it.

	BTW, did you watch the first debate. Any comments? Mail me
if you don't want to clog the net.

Cheers,

	You're kidding, right? First off, Clinto doesn't have a prayer  of
getting elected, despite what you read in the papers or hear in the polls.
	However, barring some real tragedy, suppose that cretin did win. 
Well, I think he's going to hear four years of pure hell from Limbaugh. 
Like it or not, Mr. Limbaugh's show, his TV program, and his book are here
to stay. Don't underestimate his intelligence one bit...the man isn't 
having the kind of success he is by being stupid. And have you bothered
to read his book. Though it's not full of any real surprises, it's well-
written, concise, and at the least, interesting. In fact, there's a 
passage about his dealings with the Pediatric AIDS Foundation that really
surprised me. When I think of the stupidity of the people involved in 
that situation, I realize how intelligent the guy really is.
	And who is Ray Taliaferro...? This is a world-wide net, you know?
