The Mexican Presidential candidates were having a televised debate and apparently they do things a little differently down there. [Check out](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1hamVqIIZU) the outfit this woman is wearing as she hands out some paperwork. The woman is Julia Orayen, a Playboy model. (This [version](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=bR79rRx31CA) gives you a better picture along with slow-mo and a sound track.) Seriously, I like T&A as much as the next guy but there’s a time and a place. This is a presidential debate not a game show. ---

The League of Women Voters doesn’t host presidential debates anymore. ---

> [@alphaboi867](#): > > The League of Women Voters doesn’t host presidential debates anymore. Right. They got out of that game because the Republicans and Democrats were insisting on too much control of the debates. The League didn’t want its name affixed to the result. It really says a lot. ---

That woman is not wearing any underwear. STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! STOP IT! No one is to stone _anyone_ until I blow this whistle. Even… and I want to make this absolutely clear… even if they do say, “League of Women’s Voters.” ---

So let’s organize a League of **Men** Voters to run the debates. Then, scanty-clad hot-chick presenters will be completely unobjectionable! 🙂 ---

Then, scanty-clad hot-chick presenters will be completely unobjectionable! 🙂 There already is a League of Men Voters - two of them, in fact - and they provide something very important to the debates; the candidates. You probably didn’t notice because each “League of Men Voters” allows women to be members. ---
