Twitchy CEO Michelle Malkin is an outspoken opponent of Common Core educational standards. The New York Times’ Bill Keller and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush don’t like that. And yesterday, tucked safely behind their computer keyboards, the men took turns flinging poo at Malkin for daring to be critical. But if given the chance, do they have the guts to crawl out and actually step into the debating ring? Malkin wants to know, and frankly, so do we.
Talk radio host Hugh Hewitt would be more than happy to provide a forum for discussion:
@michellemalkin @jebbush @nytkeller Terrific idea. I think my coverage has been neutral with both advocates and critics. I'd be happy 2 host

.@hughhewitt Great. So ball's in the Common Core court. Who's up for it? Looking at you ==> @JebBush @nytkeller

Well, gentlemen? What’ve you got to lose? Besides your bravado, that is:
@michellemalkin @hughhewitt @JebBush @nytkeller I can't wait till one of these #CommonCore supporters explain how 3×4=11

So, what say you, Governor Bush and Mr. Keller? Some people aren’t convinced that you guys are up to the challenge:

@michellemalkin @hughhewitt @JebBush @nytkeller They won't show. Out gunned. Would be too embarassing.

Care to prove them wrong? Or do you want to just admit that you don’t stand a chance?
@michellemalkin @hughhewitt @JebBush @nytkeller. Would not be fair because Michelle would have truth on her side. #stopcommoncore
