The Guild 9-30-2004 I'm a real man too, I just don't have pictures to prove it...

Yikes. That school thing scares me.

As for Bush's facial expressions, I thought that contemptuous look would have been more effective if he had used it at only a few well-timed moments in the debate.

One other Kerryism I hope Bush will counter in the next few days: Kerry kept saying Iraq/Hussein was a "distraction" from getting bin Laden. Bush needs to distinguish between chasing down those who've already attacked VS. dealing with future threats. Kerry agrees with Bush that Hussein was a threat.

Looks like even the dresses were negotiated (and both ladies lost out.)

Kerry was so busy & active clearing brush yesterday & helping people with Hurricane clean up while in Miami that he messed up his hands & needed a manicure...

Morning ladies.. mumbles of frustration over K's bully like lies & our kind President who could have creamed him but did not. After K's first answers I could seen the tension/anger in W's face. I think if he weren't a Christian :& Gentlemen,he would have popped him in chops.

I was a bit POd last night but in retrospect think there is a method in this gentle attitude. A little folksy but confident & calm.

The "chair" over on ATRW has a good intro monologue & also some talking points that hint about perhaps sKerry folks just maybe had a little "peak" at those questions.

BTW.. if there are any gents here, my apologies, the few days I have visited so far, seems to be mostly the ladies.

Glancing at the threads here, and elsewhere: no one won this event...people are all over the map on this one.

[BigWaveBetty]

Ok Mr. Blackwell... what, you were expecting Laura to show up in an evening gown? ;-)

Really, Laura's suit is much nicer. Better fit, better design, better fabric. Teresa's suit looks like she bought it at Sears.

[DollyCali]

Did you notice that Kerry seemed to be communicating with someone in the audience?

did you see the one time after a response POTUS winked (at I am guessing Laura).. it was a quick, "knowing" wink

[DollyCali]

Catty time ...

I think white is not particularly a good choice on hippy gals.. Laura is more slender :& carries it off well..

I am not overly impressed with TARaySa but I have predicted that after Kerry loses the election, they will separate & she will return to the Republican fold.

T has taken a lot of flack on her hair.. I have to back off all that as I have naturally curly hair that is about the same (but blond on top of whatever is there that I haven't seen for decades). She is a free spirit & her hair reflects it.

I think Laura did a nice job of being her normal gracious self. I think she disarmed Terry. I think they had a good laugh about the similarity of their outfits.

Sure also it was recommended color, suit, skirt etc by those who think these things matter..

White... purity, neutral, safe...

I think both ladies looked very nice

[DollyCali]

Teresa's suit looks like she bought it at Sears.

My guess it is less fitted again for her girth. My second guess is that it cost at least 10 times as much as Laura's.

Fathers and daughters...

Both W and Lurch had campaign appearances after the debate. Note how good Bush looks; he is a campaigner, not a debater.

And Lurch and his daughter do not look real happy, do not look overjoyed about the debate, like they are having a serious conversation, as in, Lurch telling Nessa that she and her sis just have to move in the WH and be First Ladies because stepmoney pales next to Laura...hee hee...(I really do think if Lurch wins, T. will be sedated and sent off to the farm, ski lodge and beach home on a regular basis).

[lodwick]

heheh - I wish the ladies were running for POTUS: they dang sure couldn't do any worse than we men have for the past century, or so...and would probably do a heck of a lot better job of it.

Lileks is priceless today:

I’m not enthused about a summit, unless we get to set the agenda. Item one: get over the frickin’ Jews, people. They’re not going anywhere, and if they do they’re taking all of you with them. Item two: You poke the hornet’s nest one more time and the skies of Tehran and Riyahd will darken with 747s, which will disgorge a fleet of Jeeps. We will ride around with bullhorns and announce that all women are free to leave, with their children, so they can live in a society where they get to show some shin without having some gynophobic wanker whip them with sticks. Your choice!

[SNIP]

Here’s the thing. I’d really like to live in John Kerry’s world. It seems like such a rational, sensible place, where handshakes and signatures have the power to change the face of the planet. If only the terrorists lived there as well.

Who does Zarkowi fear the most - France, summiteers, or Marines?

If the rightness of a cause is measured by the number of one’s allies, would Britain have been right if the US had stayed neutral in World War Two?

[lodwick]

When will he give up trying for the bicycle bounce?

[BigWaveBetty]

That school thing should scare us all and what's worse is how the authorities are playing down any danger. They had better be flipping over every rock on the planet to get the real scoop on what's going on there.

that contemptuous look would have been more effective if he had used it at only a few well-timed moments in the debate.

Yes indeed.

Kerry kept saying Iraq/Hussein was a "distraction" from getting bin Laden. Bush needs to distinguish between chasing down those who've already attacked VS. dealing with future threats.

Help me with some knowledge if you can. Reading posts last night, some said that the Bush campaign would use those Kerryisms in commercials. Others said they weren't allowed to use them in commercials until Jan. 2005. Do you know what's what?

Put the Kerry lies up, then show the indisputable truth on campaign commercials is one way to salvage that debate.

[Timeout]

I've heard the same contradictions...don't know which is right. I thought the "campaigns" couldn't use the footage, so the "independent groups" would put together the rebuttal commercials.

But the DNC has the "bush faces" video up on their website this morning, so I'd say Bush is free to use footage from the debates, on his website if nothing else.

[BigWaveBetty]

Not ignoring you DC, my daughter just called and she's yakking my ear off right now. I'll answer your posts asap.

She's (my daughter) livid over Kerry's debate behavior. She also thinks GWB won. :-)

[daisyscarlett]

One of the tabs has a screaming headline "Clinton fears sex after heart surgery"...lol..

I guess Hillary missed the debate...she was having dinner with the UN elite.

Why do I always have the feeling Kofi Annan is hoping people will mistake him for Nelson Mandela?

[DollyCali]

wow.. OPrah is looking marvelous.. slender. and I haven't seen her for a couple years (don't "do" TV) has she had some cosmetic suregery? don't fault her if she has..

[DollyCali]

never a rush to post back to me. sometimes I post & leave for hours -- or a day. Nice thing about the bulletin board, posting format

[lodwick]

Oprah has the best make-up people known to mankind - the VERY best.
