Honey: Are you ready, sir? Duke: Yeah, I'm pumped! I just wish I knew the names of a few world leaders... Honey: And we're back with the campaign 2000 Shadow Debates... made necessary by the refusal of the two leading candidates to debate Mr. Duke!

I say, let our kids get their education from an institution they actually respect - TV! Honey: Thank you, sir. Rebuttals? Zonker (playing George Bush Jr.): What's not to like? Earl (playing Al Gore): Yeah. I wish I'd thought of it!
