Best Q of VP Debate

[island911]

I thought it was this one:

IFILL: Well, I do, because we're actually on the final question. I apologize for giving you an extra 15 seconds there. I go now to Vice President Cheney. Whichever one of you is elected in November -- you mentioned those three electoral votes in Wyoming and how critical they've turned out to be.

But what they're a sign of also is that you're going to inherit a very deeply divided electorate, economically, politically, you name it.

How will you set out, Mr. Vice President, in a way that you weren't able to in these past four years, to bridge that divide?

I'm not trying to be poopy here, really I'm not. But I think that unity is not high on the B/C agenda. Just not. In fact, I think the happiness and even the security of the citizenry are nothing more than a fortunate coincidence, if they happen at all. I truly believe that, at the end of the eight years, Dubya will consider himself a success if the business community and investors are happy, and particularly if the petroleum industry is drilling holes in Alaska and oil prices are $60+ per barrel. Some of you might think I'm nuts and maybe you're right. Some of you may think that the sweet man we saw on TV last night, that Cheney Teddy-Bear fellow, and his trained chimp, agonize over whether they are improving the lives of the bottom thirty percent of our socio-economic scale. Again, if you injected them with sodium pentathol and asked them, I think they'd assert that, if they meet their goals then people will have a brighter economic future to look toward, but that their primary goal is to improve the health and happiness of industry. And that's where we get into the question of whether what's good for business is also, automatically, good for people. Like the new law prohibiting seniors from bringing meds back from Canada, for example.

I don't think that unity is the slightest bit interesting to those two men.

Nope, it was this one:

Does that make your effort or your plan to internationalize this effort seem kind of naive?
