Moderator, title is wrong
should be
"Kerry Team Wants Debate Lecterns Free Of Timing Lights"
Baby Fish Mouth? Huh?
He was for the lights before he was against them.
Are they stupid enough to leave them on the President's lectern?
Or are they stupid enough to remove them from his lectern as well?
Either way is pretty effin' stoopid.
If the Senator's team wants to act little toddlers and bring in screwdrivers to mess with the debate set, let them - as long as the moderators explain before the debates begin why the Senator's podium is different from the President's.
Sounds like the arrogant, condescending, bloviating POS is concerned about his tendency to make a short story long. Too bad, pumpkin head, deal with it. Or is this a new flip-flop??
Fine. Cancel the debates because TeamKerry won't keep an agreement.
Nice of the Kerry camp to start trouble now.
Of, for Ghu's sake, they both sound like a couple of spoiled rock stars demanding all sorts of special room service arrangments for a tour.
Typical crybaby pussy leftists. Wah! We lost the negotiations so we'll just change things arbitrarily anyway.
You don't think that contract applies to ME, do you? Do you know who I AM?
They must have mocked these lights during debate prep and the Senator must have had some problem with them.
Wonder what that was?
How about something like this?
I think that the moderators should switch off the mike when the candidate's time is up. That way no candidate will be able to take more than the allotted time.
Savage is very good with his mike switch. He is not very good with callers but they can only speak when he lets them.
Screwdrivers? are'nt they a tasty orange drink? I sense a theme here.
This reminds me of a stickup artist demanding that the security cameras be removed because they're distracting him from his occupation. They know their candidate can't stick to the time limits so they're pre-planning an excuse for him when he runs over.
It's only a matter of time until we hear, "well I would have stayed within the limits but I didn't have any lights to warn me when I was about to run over".
These are the only people in the world who make every trip from point A to point B by passing through all 24 other points.
If a Presidential candidate is distracted by a little blinking light, how can he possibly lead the nation in a time of war???
Kerry's single biggest weakness is that he's exceedingly long-winded. He likes those long, "nuanced" blather-fests because they make him seem intelligent without having to actually say anything.
The light will be going on for Kerry all night or (his campaign is correct) he'll be so worried about the light going on that he'll make a muddle of his responses.
Bush, by contrast, is able to make his points clearly, and in a relatively few words.
Can't even abide the agreements they signed.
