Michael Bennet's Big Boo Boo

To the embarrassment and dismay of the Bennet campaign, their prepared list of questions for the KOA morning hosts was leaked to the press. A mole in their campaign? A disgruntled former supporter? Nope.

It was… well, the morning hosts themselves, who didn’t appreciate being treated as brain dead mouthpieces who can’t come up with thoughtful questions of their own. Their response? “This is hilarious.” Bennet’s sorry excuse for a softball interview is posted below:

Hi,

As we discussed, attached are general topics and questions I included in Senator Bennet’s memo for the interview this morning with Steffan and April. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

XXXX

Q. In what ways are you a better choice for this seat?

Q. What do you bring to the Senate

Q. What is your greatest accomplishment?

Q. How’s life on the campaign trail? Are you having fun?

Q. How’s the family holding up?

Q. What do you dislike the most about campaigning?

Q. This is a very important election and according to the most recent polling, you and your opponent are in a dead heat, is there anything you would like to tell our listeners with less than a week until election day?

Since I can’t link to Denver’s mystery paper without being thrown in blogger jail, here’s a link to a site which has a link to the story:

All this set me to thinking about what the campaign really would have wanted them to ask if the interview weren’t going to be on air. I suspect it would have gone something like this:

Hi,

Q. Do you like my Bennet t-shirt? I sure hope everybody votes for you.

Q. Do you like pink or white unicorns better?

Q. I want a new pony. Can you make that happen?

Q. Why do you think KOA is supporting you for senate?

Q. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the cuteness of your daughters? Don’t you think anybody with a brain would vote for you based on their ads alone?

Q. Tell us why kindergarten teachers love you so much.

Q. Why is Ken Buck such a fire-breathing, knuckle-dragging, baby-eating, rapist-supporting, racist woman-hater?

Well that’s all the time we have for today. We love you so much! Hugs and kisses.
