In response to the Dems’ Fox News debate debacle, Air America has offered to host a Republican presidential debate:

Why us? First, this would allow your debate to reach many voters. Combining our 2 million radio audience, along with our satellite, internet and web audiences, means that some 2.5 million Americans would hear or read about the debate. Second, it would allow Republicans to differentiate themselves from Democrats – embracing a debate hosted by a progressive media outlet after Nevada Democrats canceled a debate scheduled to be hosted by the conservative Fox Cable News Channel. The MoveOn organization spurred 265,000 people to complain about the original plan, calling Fox a “mouthpiece for the Republican Party.” In reply, Fox’s Mort Kondracke called the Nevada Democratic Party’s rejection of Fox a “Stalinist” violation of “free speech and free debate.” So should you accept Air America’s offer, Republicans would both embrace free debate and stick it to Stalin at the same time.

The comments on this post are hilarious. A sample:

Is Air American [sic] still even on the air? Interesting.
First question in Air America debate: “Senator McCain….can we borrow some money?”
2.5 Million listeners? Ohhhh kaaaayy. If they have 1/10 of that I’d be surprised.
It’s funny that [Air America] does not want commercial interruption. I’ll bet it’s because they have no sponsors and would thusly just have dead air during the breaks.
Why not a debate in my dining room as well? I could guarantee more listeners than Air America and would even add the extra leaf in the table if needed.

Etc.
