Do you think ABC would see it even now?

Well, the photo is head-to-head, so we can't really fault ABC for sleight-of-head.

Maybe someone called it a double-header in an earlier draft or editorial meeting, then someone else had a brain fart.

ox·y·mo·ron n.
A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.
[Greek oxumron, from neuter of oxumros, pointedly foolish: oxus, sharp; see oxygen + mros, foolish, dull.]

I don't think its an oxymoron, maybe just a plain old moron.

The idea that either Kerry or Edwards have a head ! Brilliant, Dan !

"George Stephanopoulos" and "interview"?

Oxymorons within oxymorons, ad infinitum.

I'll be going one-on-one with Shaquille O'Neal tomorrow evening. He'll be at the Staples Center and I'll be at the, er, local school playground dominating those pre-teen ruffians. Baskets ARE ten feet, though. I swear.

Everyone's invited.

Kerry and I went to different schools together. Does that mean anything?

Well, it is "head to head"
Kerry uses his head to talk out of...
Edwards uses his head to talk as well....
So does George Stephanopolous....
Ergo, "Head to head"
Simple!

Jay,

I've heard both Kerry and Edwards speak. Neither is speaking out of their head.

hey they're just "sexing up", of course thats another name for "lies" at least for some people...

While they were not head to head, the format put together by ABC was actually very good for seeing a side by side comparison of each candidate's stand on issues.

Sure they hyped it a bit, but it was a very well done show.

I agree with Rich. I watched it, and I thought it was a very clever way for ABC to give the audience a Kerry-Edwards debate. Kerry came across as thoughtful but a bit mired in the details. Edwards was surprisingly good but (not surprisingly) had less to say on foreign policy.
