You can select one person from history and ask them a question they have to answer honestly.
Who would you pick, and what would you ask?

Jesus.
Was it worth it? How does it feel knowing your words are being used by cafeteria “Christians” to deny civil rights to some people?

The guy who let Khomeini escape to Paris.
WTF were you THINKING?????
George H.W. Bush, did you ever consider birth control? Why the f++k not, you MF?
…Dick Cheney, do you ever feel even a teeny twinge of inadequacy as a result of your stalwart efforts to avoid the draft (all of which efforts were expended in the early days of the Vietnam War when it still had broad public support) when you are forced into the presence of other public figures like Bob Kerrey, John Kerry, Jim Webb, Chuck Hagel, and even – God love ‘im – John McCain?
To the pope in Rome: Do you actually believe any of the crap that your pious church spouts, I mean except the internal rules that you get all the money?

John Adams: Are you ready for your second term?
Ah, well, most of the people I would ask such a question of are (were) so completely delusional that I would just get their version of truth, like so much autobiography. It’s really pointless, for example, to expect someone like George W. Bush or Dick Cheney or Karl Rove (or Hitler, for that matter) to come clean about what they’ve done, because they all see themselves as servants to some higher purpose, and an essential in such is believing one’s own bullshit.
So, rather than asking for the truth, which can always be shaded, I’d rather ask a simpler question of Lee Harvey Oswald. Just tell meeverything that happened to you from 1957 to November 24th, 1963.
