The crowds in the auditorium had been quieted. Jim Lehrer had spent 15 minutes warning them: say one word, and you die.
Americans by the 10s of millions were glued to their television sets for the first in the long-awaited debates between George W. Bush, Leader of the Free World, and John Frankfurter Kerry, weenie from the People's Republic of Massachusetts. (pass the Heinz, please)
"Hush in the auditorium. The candidates are entering."
Or were they???????
One was, that's for sure. The Leader of the Free World. One George Walker Bush: President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces. He walked onto stage at the proper time...
And he kept on walking...
In fact, the President had to walk nearly all the way across the stage before the newly coiffed, freshly manicured dog from Massachusetts decided he would finally deign to share the stage with "this lowlife...this man who didn't even win any fake medals in Vietnam, afterall."
Yes. President George W. Bush -- Leader of the Free World, and John Kerry's Commander-in-Chief -- was made to walk nearly the full width of that stage in order to meet the BIG dog. The ALPHA dog. And shake his paw.
Kerry may think his little ploy worked. He may think that by doing what he did he subconsiously planted a KERRY is ALPHA, Bush is Beta image in the subconscious minds of all America.
All he succeeded in doing for this blogger is proving yet again what a dirty dog he really is.
Well for sure the probes are up and the sensors are on high lately around here. FR being down today for a while likely added to the consternation of a lot of the regulars.
Lowbridge has shown a link to something which is quite enlightening.
Her cud.
"He did the same thing at the end: remained on the stage alone so the idiots could scream again."
Plus, Kerry made sure he raised his arms in victory for the photographers at the end.
Kerry and Edwards run on Clinton time - about 15 - 20 minutes late on average.
W is very punctual, and it is a great honor (families of Columbia know) when he takes extra time to be with someone beyond his allotted time.
W just wanted the debate to start.
On the downside. W is honest, doesn't play games, and expects the same from his opponent. Unfortunately for us, W's opponents is a liberal democrat from Mass who makes a living telling lies, hanging out with liars, and lying about his lies. I don't put anything past Kerry. He's almost as polarizing as President Clinton and her husband.
This is interpreted by the DUmmies as moving a mint into her cheek so she could be cordial to Laura. I guess omniscience goes with delusions of lucidity. What kind of mint?
No. I wasted two hours of my life last night, watching the stupid "debate," and let me tell you, it was hard work. And then I read the New York Times' letters page. And it was hard work. And then I read this thread. And I read part of the copy at DU. And it's hard work.
And I have a plan for the other two debates. I want to hold a summit with the candidates, and tell them, "No way am I watching two more exercises in repetition." Because that's what a real leader does.
Understandable. Hard not to be cranky after watching Kerry speak for any length of time. The man's insane -- schizo, delusional. Rubber-walled territory.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
By CBS Standards, this is then fact!
I watched the pre debate on CSPIN and when Laura walked over to dizzy Tizzy to shake her hand, Tizzy was clearly stoned. No other word for it......she was zoned out of her mind.
I know what you mean. There's nothing like seeing the "New Posts To You" link lit up at the top of the page.
No I did not sign up today. 10/10/2000 sign up. what is your problem?
She's always on something - probably thorazine, prozac and valium with a wine spritzer.
Come Friday - I would love W to do a quick but CRUSHING handshake that will send a message about all the lies, cheapshots and favoritism shown/advanced in the last debate. With a smile of course.
As a caveat: I've always noticed how after an interview Letterman would give a quick handshake for those he felt did a good job and/or were prepared vs. a long, uncomfortable handshake if the opposite was true.
Not the only one. Half of Freeperville discussed it immediately after, as well as some pundits in the media. I don't know if you were reading the post-debate threads or not - but it was there.
One that covers the smell of the cheap vodka she was slamming during Frenchy's event.
"Hi, I'm Terayza, nicetomeetcha...burp! Tee hee! 'scuse me"
"Was I the only one who noticed at the end that Terazza appeared drunk or high or sedated?
She's always on something - probably thorazine, prozac and valium with a wine spritzer."
Please see #32 and carefully read the article for manifestations, mode of ingestion and continent of origin.
BTTT
Throw all that in a blender with half-a-gallon of chocolate ice cream and Tizzy will be down for good nine hours.
Edwards was THREE HOURS LATE for a speech this week. From what I heard on the news, it was a "rain-or-shine" event and it was raining. Those that gritted their teeth and waited (which was less than half of the original crowd) were plenty pissed when the Pretty Boy finally showed up.
