David Bohrman thinks you’re a moron. “Who is David Bohrman?” you ask between deep breaths taken through your stupid mouth. He’s the senior vice president of CNN – as well as the executive producer of last night’s CNN/YouTube debate – and he says the public can’t be trusted to ask intelligent questions of the Republican candidates. It’s not that he doesn’t like you. It’s just that you’re so immature and simple.
“If you would have taken the most-viewed questions last time, the top question would have been whether Arnold Schwarzenegger was a cyborg sent to save the planet Earth,” Bohrman said. “The second-most-viewed video question was: Will you a convene a national meeting on UFOs?”

So, CNN employees have to screen questions submitted by the public because otherwise, candidates would have to answer questions like “Do you believe in the power of prayer to prevent catastrophes?” and “Do you prefer diamonds or pearls?”
Oh, wait. Those questions have been asked. One was selected by ABC employees to be asked by George Stephanopoulos last August and the other was planted in the live audience by CNN.
Candidate, are the questions on the Geek Survey really any less legitimate than the idiocy perpetrated by CNN and other mainstream media outlets?
