Default Senator Gravel: Bobby Fischer should be pardoned

Actually, I think Senator Gravel has provided us with a great tactical
possibility: If only it were possible to have someone attending a
Democratic Presidential candidates debate get up and ask something along
these lines:

"This issue is not, of course, as important as Iraq or the Health Care
system, however it is of interest for a great many chess players -
American citizens who feel that a great injustice has been - and still
is - perpetrated. I am aware that Senator Mike Gravel has expressed the
opinion that the persecuted and currently forced into exile in Iceland
World Chess Champion Bobby Fisher 'deserves an apology for the way he
has been treated by the Bush administration' and that 'he should be
pardoned'. I would like to know the opinion of the rest of the
candidates on this issue."



Who cares about Iraq or about health care? What
really matters in life is our obsession with Bobby
Fischer! This is what distinguishes us chess players
from all those idiots who try to live in the real world.
They just don't get it.
