Heh, I remember my otherwise extremely mediocre 8th grade gov't teacher showing us a clip from the SNL 2000 debate .

Before we begin, I have been asked by the Bush campaign to announce that, for the next three hours only, viewers in the states of Michigan, Missouri and Pennsylvania have the option of free Pay-Per-View, courtesy of the Republican National Committee. On Channel 62, "The Perfect Storm", with George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg, the film Mike Clark of USA Today called "The perfect movie". On Channel 63, the grandeur beauty and savagery of ancient Rome came to life in "Gladiator" with Russell Crowe.
[ Al Gore sighs ]
"Gladiator. A hero will rise." Care for something just a bit naughty? On Channel 64, ten Penthouse Pets join forces with ten Playboy Playmates to find the perfect Hustler centerfold, in "Miss Killer Body 2000". Contains nudity.
[ George W. Bush nods his approval ]
With that out of the way, let's begin the debate. Mr. Vice-President, during this campaign, you have frequently called the Bush tax plan a "risky scheme". Why?
Al Gore: [ speaking slowly and in broken syllables ]
Well, Jim.. Governor Bush and I have two ve-ry diff-er-ent plans to of-fer tax re-lief to American families. In his plan, the wealthiest 1% of Americans would receive nearly fif-ty per-cent of the ben-e-fits. My plan, Jim, is diff-er-ent. Rather than squand-er the su-plus on a risky tax cut for the wealth-y, I would put it in what I call a.. "lock-box."
Jim Lehrer:
Governor Bush, your response?
George W. Bush:
I don't know what that was all about.. but I'll tell you this: "Don't Mess With Texas!"
Al Gore:
I didn't mess with Texas!
Jim Lehrer:
Governor Bush, I listened very carefully to the Vice-President's Remarks, and I honestly do not believe he messed with Texas. Now, Governor Bush..
