Chicken George was a campaign tactic in the 1992 American presidential election, where one or more people in a chicken costume heckled George H. W. Bush, over his refusal to participate in a debate with Democratic candidate Bill Clinton.〔http://www.nytimes.com/1992/09/30/us/the-1992-campaign-political-memo-those-chicken-georges-and-what-they-mean.html〕 One of the Chicken Georges was a Clinton campaign worker from Detroit, Michigan, named Derrick Parker. Parker went on to work for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in Washington, D.C., under Clinton's administration. This was referenced to in the episode "Freedonia" of ''The West Wing'', where a similar tactic is used by one of the candidates. Tony Blair would be mocked in a similar fashion during the British general election of 1997.〔 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/special/politics97/background/pastelec/ge97.shtml 〕 ==See also== * Chicken Kiev speech * Commission on Presidential Debates * Jay Byrne * United States presidential election debates 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chicken George (politics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
