2. This came out fantastic Mo! It was so much fun to do!!!
We give the YouTube/CNN debates a run for their money.

We should totally take over the Democratic & Republican conventions this year. It would be sheer brilliance!!!!

And you look MUCH more handsome than Andy Coop. I prefer salt and pepper over pure silver any day ;)

3. To all candidates,

I know how you all did your prep work for these debates, so throughout Saturday, I will be asking further questions throughout the comment section of this blog. Get ready folks, these are grueling...

5. Hey all,
It appears, sadly, tragically, that I will no longer be able to serve as the marvelous Ms. Marie's manager.
She's a great gal and I do hope she wins!
Good Luck to All the candidates and thanks for the smarta$$ encouragement.
One rarely gets encouragement for that in this serious world, and one rarely gets invited in to click, so to speak, and it was kind of you to welcome me. It's been fun and you're all very funny!
JQ, thanks so much for the kind words about the messed up youtube question.
Thespeshies just may figure out the format one of these days.
Happy Holidays and hope the party is hardy/hearty!

7. hahahhahaha-ah, that was hilarious! Specially where Mo comments about "no rambling," and "did you just have a stroke."

Is that the Kimball of KIMBALL/ROCCA '08?

I hope not

8. Mo, what color pants are you wearing?
Not that there is any color I don't like. In fact, burnt orange was very popular out here on the West Coast several years ago... although if they were a bit tight you couldn't wear your wallet in your front pocket unless you were over 55.

9. PS. Jacqui? Is that you, the anal English major?
Did u get a hug from Mo at the great debate? Great question posing style!

10. Dear Col. Barry,

Thank you for your bravery, your servitude to this great country, and for your important question.

I agree with you that "sound foreign relations require a leader with multiple international diplomatic skills". This is exactly why we choose to combine our unique skills into a single candidacy.

Candidates Combine!

Link - Stay out of foreign affairs!
Kann - Nonviolence!
Moore - Full withdrawl of troops!
Mann - Self rule, not involved in foreign affairs!
Son - Stop foreign aid!

However, do not confuse non-interventionism with isolationism... Linkkannmooremannsonatron is pro military for the defense of the United States, not for overseas wars.

But just remember, when there's fighting to be done, Linkkannmooremannsonatron will be there to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic!

Rest assured, Colonel, the nation is in good hands and hands and hands and hands and hands! God bless you Colonel! And God bless America!!!

This next song goes out to all the brave Colonels out there just like you:

11. Hey Mo! Thanks for stressing the difference between Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. I live on the Missouri side and it sometimes comes to blows when someone says, "Oh! You're from Kansas City where Dorothy and Toto live". Many a confused and geographically challenged people have tasted cold concrete pavement for that mistake.

BTW: I love your blog! Keep up the awesome work!

12. Darn! You need an edit button for the posts or I need to proff read better!

13. Mo,

FANTA-TAstic!!!!! Both you and Jacqueline were distractingly gorgeous...HOW are we to THINK!!!?

I'm wearing my KIMBALL '08 shirt that Hank's manager sent....I'm set to scream like Gilbert Goddfrey all night long---(I always like to mimic my grandmama)

NOW VOTE KIMBALL!!!!

14. Dear Friends of Mo Rocca 180:

I would like to step out of character for a brief moment to say a few words.
First, this blog post is a testament to what a really great guy Mo Rocca is. He has a heart of Gold!
Show me another blog that has 180's sense of Community.
Show me another blog host that would do something like this for his loyal fan base.
WE LOVE YOU MO ROCCA and God Bless!

Back in character.
Hank Kimball will be available later this evening to take any additional questions the commenters or other candidates may have for him.
Please keep your questions or comments relative to anything that should pop into your mind.
Just keep them clean and well intended.

Thank You,
Kimball '08
