What the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks is wrong with the DNC? The fake press release stunt was just stupid. As much as I'd love to see that many debates, who at the DNC thought it would be a good idea to give the neocons some cannon fodder?

On the other hand, perhaps it's a brilliant move. It'll start discussion about how many debates Bush and Kerry will have. And Lord knows Bush will (most likely) have his ass pounded in debates. By putting this five-debates nonsense in the political ether, it may make Bush look foolish for not agreeing to as many.

It's all so silly, isn't it? And yes, so serious.
