Watching the presidential debate last night, I thought of something that might be interesting as performance or political spectacle. The basic principle is to meld electoral/mainstream politics with the politics of real people. The idea is to make a fake debate between a real person and video footage of a political figure. The footage coud be from a real debate or pieced from past press footage of the politician. A human moderator would offer the question. The video footage of the politician would play and then the human debater would give a response. One humerous piece that comes to mind would be a real person debating issues of anti-terrorism or problems with the US’ criminal justice system against John Ashcroft singing the creepy Let the Eagles Soar.
