Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Buh-Barr (to the tune of "Bomb Iran" by John McCain)

Gail Collins is a genius for suggesting that Bob Barr should participate in Friday's debate, seeing as how John McCain is too busy hanging out with Bill Clinton and Lady de Rothchild.


In fact, let's Bob Barr make sure to bring up Bob Barr all the Bob Barr time! As in, "hey, did you remember that Bob Barr is running for president on the Libertarian ticket?"

Maybe Barack should start issuing statements disagreeing with Barr's positions on the issues? Run an attack ad or two against Barr? Of course, that all requires spending money that might be more effectively spent elsewhere. The beauty of having Barr at the debate is that CNN foots the bill.

Mystery Democrat even wonders whether Ralph Nader should be invited to the show. It seems that Obama could only benefit from contrasting himself with Barr and Nader on the debate stage.
