Waldo Jaquith is undoubtedly one of the best writers in the Virginia blogosphere, along with Barnie Day and a few other semi-deities.  And this post, which utterly reams Jerry Kilgore for trying to "duck" out of this Sunday's debate with Tim Kaine, proves that fact beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Here's my favorite passage...enjoy!!

Apparently, moderator Larry Sabato has set some standards that are just too severe for Jerry Kilgore. For example, Sabato will not let the debate be held in a sealed cavern hidden far below the earth. Nor will he let Kilgore use a nifty earpiece/bulge combo like President Bush. Nor will Sabato force Kaine to wear a ball gag, a leash, and a black, studded latex suit for the duration. Worst of all, Sabato is requiring Kilgore to abide by the terms of the debate agreement, which in no way restricts the Kaine campaign from using any of the footage from the debate in TV commercials. That bastard! (I can?t imagine what made the Kilgore campaign so skittish about the reuse of footage from events. What? Moi? Oh, but you do go on!).

To be fair, Kilgore debates like he throws. The most damaging thing for the Kilgore campaign would be for a majority of the voting public to witness him utter a single word. The Kilgore campaign is so cognizant of this that their current TV ad features his twin brother Terry Kilgore speaking in his stead, since he lacks that certain?oh?quelle heure est il that Jerry has.

"Ouch!! Ouch!! You're hurting me, Waldo!!  Stop iiiiiitttttt!!!"  - Jerry (from a sealed cavern hidden far below the earth)

He he.
