Dumbest Question of the Dem Debate

Where do they get the idea that asking "What is your greatest weakness" is a good question for a presidential debate? You get answers like this:

John Edwards: My greatest weakness is that I care too much, Tim. For 54 years, I've been fighting. I emerged from the womb with my dukes up, ready to do battle with every fiber of my day-old being.

Hillary Clinton: My greatest weakness is that I get impatient — impatient with people who don't care as much about children as I do.

Barack Obama: My greatest weakness? Sometimes I misplace stuff. I'm a little disorganized. It's probably a good thing I'm not in charge of my own schedule.

At least Obama's answer wasn't pure bovine excrement like Edwards and Clinton.

Another wag notices the similarities to a Simpson's episode:

Smithers: What would each of you say is your worst quality?

Man 1: Well, I am a workaholic.

Man 2: I push myself too hard.

Homer: Well, it takes me a long time to learn anything, I'm kind of a goof-off...

Smithers: Okay, that'll do.

Homer: ... a little stuff starts disappearing from the workplace...

Smithers: That's enough!
