"We're bringing a screwdriver" (Kerry Campaign threatens to sabotage debates)

Heard on the hour's news:

The Kerry Campaign is now insisting that the warning lights mounted at each candidate's podium be disconnected before tonight's debate. All had previously agreed that there would be 15 second warning lights mounted at each podium to let everyone know that the speaker's time was ending. Kerry Campaign is now panicing at the thought that Mr. Debater will not have enough time for each answer he wishes to give, and are demanding that the lights be removed.

The debate organizers, to their credit, are refusing, since both campaigns agreed to have the lights. To this, a Kerry spokesman replied, "We're bringing our own screwdriver and we'll disconnect the light ourselves if we have to."

THIS is the true spirit of Campaign Kerry: 'WE get to make the rules and WE get to change them when we feel like it.' Just whom we need running the country.

My previous post can be brought into broad relief if we consider today's activities of the Kerry/Edwards campaign to what Bush is doing. He is touring Florida hurricane victims.

How is that for a lede tomorrow? "Bush comforts Jeanne victims; Kerry looks for a screwdriver."

Note the tagline. It says it all.

"We're bringing our own screwdriver and we'll disconnect the light ourselves if we have to."

I have the prefect image for this, the one of the Democratic Party Seal with the baby wailing away. How does one attach an image?

Typical liberal, can't abide by the rules!

Rush Limbaugh said today that Kerry will probably try to break the rules somehow for a "dramatic moment."

Rush is RIGHT. Kerry will say "You know, let us just do away with these rules and give the American people what they want, a true debate with give and take. That's what the American people want, that's what we should give them. Now how about it Mr. Bush, join me in this cause."

[Fruitbat]

Maybe the GOP should bring it's own Bull Sh%# Flag to hoist directly in front of the Kerry podium everytime Kerry goes off on another tangent or his nose starts growing.

"We're bringing our own screwdriver

Is Ted Kennedy in this debate?

[samtheman]

Bush is the New York Yankees.

Kerry is the Newark Bears.

[fooman]

nah, not really. Buh bye.

[Fruitbat]

Rush is RIGHT. Kerry will say "You know, let us just do away with these rules and give the American people what they want, a true debate with give and take. That's what the American people want, that's what we should give them. Now how about it Mr. Bush, join me in this cause."

Which if it happens Bush should respond by saying:

No Senator, we're not going to conduct this debate the way that you would govern this nation. As well, why did you and your campaign take the time to assist in setting up these rules if you never had any intention of abiding by them?!

What a prime opp that would be for the Pres!

Speaking of Saddam, I have a theory that voter turnout is inversely proportional to quality of government. Which is to say that governments that get 100 percent turnout are generally the worst. People with good governments tend to take them for granted.

sKerry....if you bring your screw drivers and rip out the lights....they'll be NO MORE DEBATES!!!

James Baker will see to that....you stupid FOOL!!!

[wtc911]

I'd like to watch them try to figure out how to use it.

[TBall]

Just when I think Kerry can't get any worse he does something like this. Hours before the debate, unreal.

..."right tight. left loose...right tight...left loose...ri........."

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Ok, I'll see your screwdriver and raise you two Bloody Marys.

[Chemist_Geek]

let him make an ass of himself by getting cut off mid-sentence

That'll only work if the director cuts off Kerry's mike.

..."right tight. left loose...right tight...left loose...ri........."

That's step two. Step one is figuring out that the sharp end doesn't go in you hand.
