Lincoln-Douglas Debate? No. Try TLC.

Hillary has thrown down the gantlet, challenging Obama to a Lincoln-Douglas style no-moderator debate. Obama, trying to play out the clock, says no, we've had 21 debates.

I think Hillary needs to up the ante. Forget about polite harrumping about health care and Iraq and Rev. Wright. Let's settle this once and for all with a genuine slammin' TLC match to see who claims the nomination, no holds barred.

What's TLC? you might ask. As well you should. TLC refers not to how Hillary treats overseas campaign donors, but rather Tables-Ladders-Chairs, a wrestling format in which contestants use the props to grab a championship belt suspended above the ring.

That would be political theater of the highest order and the greatest pay-per-view event ever, to see Hillary "Bill Crusher" Clinton battle Barack "The Hawaiian Weatherman" Obama in for the Democratic nomination. Let's stop playing nice and get out the heavy equipment so they can really pummel each other in glee.

Put them in tights, loud music, supported by their teams. Heck, we can make it a tag team event and get Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama involved, for extra drama. Let them fight to get the ladder of dreams set up that will carry one team to the nomination and the chance to battle for the intergalactic presidential championship against John "Bombs Away" McCain and his running mate, whom I am convinced will be Joe "Skull Crusher" Lieberman, the iron duke of Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Now doesn't that sound more realistic than ANOTHER debate?
