Stupid Rules

These new rules for the upcoming Presidential debates are gonna suck the life right out of them:

Candidates shall address each other in terms of mutual respect (“Mr. President,” “Senator,” etc.) … The following terms are specifically forbidden and may not be used until after each debate is formally concluded: “girlie-man,” “draft dodger,” “drunk,” “ignoramus,” “Jesus freak,” “frog,” “bozo,” “wimp,” “toad,” “lickspittle,” “rat bastard,” “polluting bastard,” “lying bastard,” “demon spawn,” “archfiend,” or compound nouns ending in “-hole” or “-ucker.”
