Springsteen vs. Yoakam
Tonight is the first presidential debate, and more importantly, Nikita's Kerry-oke party. High standards were set by her Karaoke Oscar Leap Day party, but we have every faith they will be met and indeed surpassed.
Before you go "wow, lame," note that the karaoke involved is not some stupid karaoke machine karaoke, but Karaoke Revolution Vols. 1 & 2 for PlayStation 2. It's fun as hell, and you get to choose characters, costumes, and venues (but beware of the girl with the camel toe). Speculation is that the evening will involve alternating between J. Lo, Kerry on the economy, New Order, Bush on terror, and so forth, plus drinking games.
It goes without saying, we think, that a karaoke competition between the candidates would be a lot more informative than the debate, which is probably going to be disappointing on all fronts. We'd much rather know that Kerry can do a decent Carole King while Bush totally butchers Garth Brooks (if that can be done). Song choice would also be telling-- one might think it would be safe to assume who has the better taste in music, but you never know when Kerry could make a crushing mistake by revealing that he could sing every word to the Breakfast at Tiffany's song without looking at the screen.
But then, of course, this would open up the possibility of hearing Lee Greenwood's "Proud to Be an American," which was solely responsible for the spike in George Sr.'s approval rating in 1991. Probably not worth it.
