>Governor, if Kitty Dukakis were kidnapped, tied down, anally violated, creampied, gagged and then beheaded would you favour an irrevocable death penalty for the perpetrator?>Well Bernard, that was really uncalled for.
>>17274192Who is Kitty?
>>17274192>No, I don't believe the government should have the right to take the lives of its citizens. That said, I would find him and kill him myself.ezpz
>As long as only the ass was creampied, Bernard
>>17274197The wife of Gov. Dukakis who was the Dem nominee for President in 1988. I'm paraphrasing a real question he was asked.
>>17274288>I am anti death penalty but pro murder.Hardons like to think that this is a winning answer, but no. It isn't. Neither would be lashing out at the moderator. His detractors would have piled on no matter how he responded. Nerd robotically avoids emotional provocation, or nerd nerd-rages at articulate black man over hypothetical scenario, or pretend-principled policy nerd equivocates on policy principles...it was a late-night stroke of drunk tabloid journo genius on Shaw's part to devise this trap that, no matter what happened, it could be fitted into the existing personal profile and narrative around nerdy ol' Mikey Tanks.
