Sure enough, there was Howard Dean and John Kerry coverage on CNN as they steamed through New Hampshire on their mighty campaigns. And then it all just ‘clicked’. “If I were James Lipton, and I had to interview these politicians, what would I ask them?” That thought, that internal question, has led me to this. G-d willing, should I get any response what-so-ever, I will post it here immediately. I never wanted to get political on this site, but I figured – what the hell.
Dear POLITICIAN, My name is Benjamin Smash, and I represent Smash Magazine – a cultural commentary magazine based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In anticipation of these 2004 Primaries, we’ve sent out a request to all our readers asking them, “If you can ask POLITICIAN one question, what would it be?” The response from our readers was overwhelming, and insightful as well. What I’ve collected for you, POLITICIAN, is a list of our top ten questions our readers would like answered.
1. What's your favorite word? Regardless if you answer them all or just a few, thank you for your time and best of luck in your campaign.
Sincerely, |
