President McCain Would Hold 'Question Time'
The Politico interview with Sen. John McCain yesterday in Las Cruces, N.M., was chock full of goodies. In addition to not being able to say how many homes he and his wife own, McCain "flatly" stated that he is not considering a one-term pledge, as many had speculated. He also promised to hold weekly press conferences as president -- the current traveling press corps should be so lucky! -- and to appear on C-SPAN "all the time."
But the real gem, in my humble opinion, was McCain's vow to hold "Question Time," à la British Parliament, once every "couple weeks" -- during which members of Congress would be able to ask questions of him. Anyone who has seen the prime minister go before the House of Commons knows what I'm talking about -- this is the WWE "Smackdown" of politics. We in America may (finally) get a regular dose of this:
That would be so sweet. I couldn't think of a better way to get young people interested in government affairs.
