How many people were expecting a joke about illegal immigration? I certainly was.

1. Of all the serious & pertinent subjects to address....

why would Russert raise this one? What a complete, absolute, & total waste of time.

3. I think it was one of those "feel for the candidates" type questions

Something that there's no pat answers for, to give a feel for how the candidate works off-message, and inject something other than the major policy issues into the conversation.

4. I think it was a setup to discredit Kucinich personally. They can't

get him on the issues.

2. You mean like: Did the aliens in the UFO in Roswell have New Mexico driver's licenses?

:P
