I haven't started one of these before, but I thought a live discussion thread might be appropriate. Post away!

Kerry BOMBED!

[xjcsa]

Top Ten Bush Tax Proposals:

10. No estate tax for families with at least two US presidents.
9. W-2 form is now Dubya-2 form.
8. Under the simplified tax form, your taxes go directly to Halliburton.

6. Ashcroft gets to write off entire US Constitution.
4. Eliminate all income taxes; ask Teresa to cover it.

2. $100 penalty for saying "nuclear" instead of "nucular".
1. Bush gets deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

Sorry, that's as fast as I could type....Kerry now predicting he wins....and that's all she wrote. Back with Greenday.

So does Bush get 25 minutes on CBS now in the interest of equal time?

[JulieRNR21]

Kerry can't talk with out exaggerated hand gestures....he's a doofus.

Letterman let him off easy.

Did he ask him about the forged memos?....I turned it on late.

[Grig]

He can't deliver a joke to save his life.

[Yellow Rose of Texas]

I'd love to parttake but that would mean watching CBS, and I refuse under any circumstances.

I agree, I missed CSI Miami tonight, and will continue to miss some of my favorites until Rather and company apologize to President and Laura Bush, as well as the 2 daughters.

[coloradan]

He was for our troops fighting our wars, before he was against it. Or, maybe it's the other way around.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I think even Letterman is skeptical of him.

[A Citizen Reporter]

I'll bet you're sorry you asked that question. I think that was the lamest top ten list I have ever seen in my life. What wasn't blatently partisan just was poorly written. But then Mary Mapes might be writing his stuff....

[sinkspur]

This was a disgraceful performance.

He did nothing but trash Bush.

No, Jean. The election is not going to be close. You're going to be on the south end of a north-bound horse.

[mh]

I think he thinks he performed splendidly. Did you like that last flip of the cue card?

[faithincowboys]

Chafee is insignificant. I think Hagel needs a primary challenge and no support in 2008. He is kidding himself if he thinks he's ever gonna be President. At this point, I'll vote for a Rat before I'll vote for him.

[codyjacksmom]

Looks like he can cross out comedian as a possible career choice after Dubya kicks his a**!!!

[mass55th]

How'd you like the way he offered up his wife's purse? Goes to show you what he really thinks of her.

[MJY1288]

"WHY does Horse Face always stick his tongue out? He looks like a lizard."

There must be rich Widows in the audience

[GoMonster]

he wouldn't answer any questions. Indenpendents hate that stuff more than anything. They are apolitical and hate all that stuff. i think he did terrible. althought the orange looked nice:)

[worrywart]

Wonder why they didn't show Kerry tossing the Top 10 list from a different camera angle? Could it be that he threw the paper as poorly as he throws a baseball? I'll bet it went nowhere near the windows.

So does Bush get 25 minutes on CBS now in the interest of equal time?

LOL--no! He gets to fire the CBS moderator from the debate.

[Agrarian]

Apparently Senator Conrad Burns of Montana was in his Washington office in 2001 when Alec Baldwin came by to lobby him about something in 2001. Burns proceeded to needle him a little: "Why are you still here? I thought you promised to move overseas?" Apparently Baldwin didn't stick around the office very long...

It was nice to learn that Baldwin was reminded about this by at least one person he couldn't ignore.

[jbarkley]

I'm suprised the list didn't come back and hit him in the eye.
