Running Commentary of Debate ’04 I
Wow, Kerry finally grew some balls! I think this is the first time he’s ever said he was out to kill the terrorists. Before, he was fickle, but he’s after Osama, too.
Plus, gotta say, CBS had the best reaction shots, and they did not favor W too well. He was looking like a baby who’d shit his diaper when Kerry plopped his goods right on the table (being figurative here for those who missed the debate!)
Kerry simply took notes during his down time, while W has a very peculiar “default” look whenever he’s not required to speak…
Also LOVED when Kerry accused W of outsourcing to Afghan mercs to find Osama when we, the most powerful military force in the world, were the most capable of getting the job done.
Kerry “spoke so well” ’cause he finally had a stance, while W simply played defense. Didn’t learn much more about the W camp than we already knew, but we got good intel from Kerry…
W waited a full 15 mins to attack Kerry for voting FOR the war. I DO, feel that, now that Kerry’s acknowledged he’s anti-terrorist, he’s doing a lot more “Osama hiding.” That’s when you scapegoat Osama for all the shit in the world. Lack of school funding? Blame the terrorists. Your kid lost his soccer game? Osama probably had something to do with it. Kerry’s really hiding behind Osama, almost as much as the Republican party, which kind of adds to his “flip-flop” reputation…
Best part was when W asked how Kerry was gonna pay for all the anti-terrorist protection. He turned into that smarmy kid who always sits at the back of the classroom. Involed a lot of shrugging and head cocking. I can’t even describe it. You just had to see it… He capped it off by slinging another “Old West” style threat at the terrorists…
Gotta love when W has to say pronounce a foreigner’s name. You always get the feeling that he almost didn’t get it out. He’s always going the “Hooked on Phonics” route, as he sounds it out…
Kerry comes off as a politician, while W makes me feel like he’s trying to sell me a car. And he knows it ain’t the best car, but he’s doing his damnedest to make sure I drive off the lot in it today…
Kerry…big words, but I’m not sold. I’m not sure he beleives what he’s saying. It sounds like he’s done a good job memorizing and rehearsing. While, W seems like he had np prep at all. Just kinda slingin’ babrs when he hears something he doesn’t like…
Gotta say, I’m loving W’s “Can you believe this shit?” face that he wears whenever Kerry’s speaking….
Kerry seems to be pushing the right buttons, which may ’cause W to veer from the script, giving the networks that “Oh Shit!” moment they’re so desperately waiting for…
“You forgot Poland”? Wow, he’s getting desperate…
W just “ummed” a little too much to sound intelligent. He’s running out of steam. He’s on the ropes. He’s starting to sound like your old senile uncle at the family reunion who starts telling a story, and eventually loses his train of thought, causing his to spout a bunch of nonsense before trailing off….
Wait a minute…where did this W summit come from? I haven’t heard him mention a summit until Kerry did. Did W just gank the summit idea from Kerry before our very eyes?!!!
I’ve got it. W’s “default” face looks like Dana Carvey when he’s playing The Church Lady…
Well, you heard it here first: W doesn’t approve of changing positions. I wonder how Laura feels about this…
Nice touch, Kerry. “Do not confuse the war with the warriors.” That’s something everyone needs to remember…
Eww..Kerry just did a website plug. That’s kinda tacky….
Don’t really believe Kerry when he vows to “hunt and kill the terrorists”. W’s always got that glint in his eye when he says it. You don’t F with a glint! But Kerry…he’s gotta practice in front of the mirror between now and November…
“Pottery Barn Rule” That’s cute….
I swear, I haven’t heard freedom bandied about as a tangible good this much since I watched all those episodes of “G.I.Joe”…
Wow, Kerry just pulled a “Clinton”. While W was getting riled, Kerry popped a sly grin at somebody in the audience. Somebody better keep an eye on his cigars….
W’s getting all squinty. You know he’s in troublee when the squinting starts…
Uh-oh, W’s going after the Nerd Vote by knocking the notion of “international popularity”…
Hehe, he can’t pronounce “peninsula”….
Ohh…that was a good 4 seconds of silence….
Still saying “nucular”. You’d think someone would’ve corrected him by now. It’s been FOUR YRS!!!
Kerry’s done his homework. Very impressive…
W’s getting whiny…
I’m sorry, but $200 million ain’t that much money, in terms of aid. Hell, it cost Kevin Costner more than that to make “Waterworld”…
W’s rambling again….loaded, fake compliments. Oh yeah, YALE SUCKS!
“You can be certain and be wrong.” So true…
Stop riding coattails, W!
Not digging the redneck pronunciation of “Vladimir”…
“Putin” still makes me laugh when I hear it…
“I’m a pretty calm guy…I don’t take it personally…” You lie!
Why is it, during his closing statement, Kerry reminded me of a cracked-out, alternate reality version of Jay Leno? Yes, I’m weird, OK?
“We will fight the terrorists around the world…” Once again, that’s the same promise “G.I.Joe” used to make. Now, I know where the Bush camp is getting its motivation!
Eww…W just asked for our vote…just as tacky as Kerry’s website plug
AND THE WINNAH!!!!
For polish, tact, and diplomacy, I say Kerry
BUT
For passion, moxie, and sheer entertainment, I say W
So, we’re just gonna have to shelve this and go for best 2 out of 3!
To be continued….
