Let's make it a weekly show. Cuomo-Falwell. O'Neill-Gingrich. Steinem-Schlafly. After each question, a panel of judges could hold up cards-9.0, 9.5, 6.5, 9.0. Howard Cosell is the obvious play-by-play man, with color by former, now retired debaters-Jerry Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole. Everyone could start appearing in Miller Lite commercials for old politicians. 'Less spending!' 'Higher taxes!'
