For months now, it has been clear that "journalists" questioning the Republican candidates for President have been holding back, using seemingly innocuous code rather than asking the questions they really want to ask.  This week, after CNN openly hosted the Clinton Campaign's planted question debate, there is no more reason for them to maintain any façade at all.

We know some of the questions they really want to ask and, now that the gloves have been thrown in the closet, probably will.

Senator Thompson, what is the proper way to fold the confederate flag after a lynching?

Governor Romney, you maintain that you have only one wife and have never had more than one wife.  Under the circumstances, so to speak, you don't really expect anyone to believe that, do you?

Mayor Giuliani, I show you this receipt for hand sanitizer bought immediately before you attended a NASCAR race by a member of your protection detail.  Do you deny that the purchase was secretly for you?

Senator Thompson, back to you.  Where do you get the best moonshine in Memphis?

Governor Huckabee, is it true that you have a plan to turn the White House into a Megachurch?

Congressman Tancredo, what is your best estimate of how many illegal immigrants you would be able to personally waterboard each day of your Presidency?

Senator Paul, as a medical doctor, does it bother you that many of your supporters seem not to be taking their meds?

Okay, lightning round, yes or no answers only from everyone.  If elected President, will you pledge here and now not to invite Rush Limbaugh to lunch at the White House?

Mayor Giuliani, would you support a federal program to buy every gun owner a laser sight as a reasonable gun control measure that would pass constitutional scrutiny?

Governor Romney, Hillary Clinton has said that she stole her universal health care plan from the one you implemented in Massachusetts.  Is that a great compliment, or what?

Governor Huckabee, liberals really love you because you, alone among your competitors, seem to be very comfortable with tax-and-spend policies.  Do you think your appeal among liberals will increase once it is well known that your rock band opened for Willie Nelson?

Senator Thompson, you might know the answer to this one.  Is it ever appropriate to wear Gucci shoes with a Klan suit?

Finally, Mayor Giuliani, the last question is for you.  Aren't the Clintons just the nicest couple you ever met?

Voters are, of course, free to seriously question the judgment of any candidates who even show up for any more of these "debates."
