Ask a politician a question? What what?

Here's a great idea from France. They just started a network TV show called "I Have a Question to Ask You" where people can ask questions to politicians. I mean, that's a whole lot better than scripted "townhall meetings". Anyway, someone asked UMP presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy his stand on gay adoption. Seriously, imagine Bush saying something like this:
I want to defend minorities because they have rights, but I don't want to oppress the majority[....] I don't accept it when people call me homophobic because I oppose gay adoption. [Translation mine]
This is what a more open democracy is like. Yes, Sarkozy isn't all that pro-the-gays, but he gets asked about it and he answers, instead of being asked about it and calling the interviewer "out of line". If we're going to have a dialogue with our politicians about GLBT rights, we have to be able to have a dialogue with them at all.

If Cheney had answered this question, it would be something like this: "How dare you call our daughter a lesbian. How dare you insinuate we have a daughter. How dare you!" Then, he would shoot you in the face.
