Bush Pokes Fun at TV Networks in Debate
RatherBiased.com ^ | October 13, 2004

In Wednesday night's debate, George Bush needled the television networks as unreliable sources after John Kerry cited two TV networks responding to a question about how he could pay for his healthcare proposals.

"In all due respect, I'm not so sure it's credible to quote leading news organizations about--oh, never mind," Bush said.

Just beautiful! GWB nailed it! Kerry looked like he was not in on the joke.
What was it about marrying up? What the hell was that? Mr Platitude's attempt at humor will result in his reaquaintance with the couch for the foreceable future!

He is a pretty sad!!

I knew what Bush was talking about, as do most people around here, but I think he could have been a little more direct about it for the dingbats out there.

You must forgive Kerry. The botox makes it hard for people to tell when he's joking or not. Bush, on the other hand, can (and does) smile. =)

I've been stuck at a public meeting since 6:50 Pacific Time. Did sKerry really pull that "marrying up" crap? That ONLY works when you're humble, like W. He can carry that off.

The Poodle, who really DID marry up monetarily, but not in any meaningful way, just sounds like a kept man when he says that.

But really, keep on doing that, John. It's working REAL well. {wink} Love ya, mean it.

The gloves are off! Bush did EXACTLY what he needed to do with that remark - attack the media wing of the Democrat Party.

One point of clarification................Lord Kerry "married up", TWICE!

Monetarily, that is.

Yes, that was a very dumb thing for him to say, especially since he has done it twice. Women will remember this comment and not think highly of him.

First time, he asked for an annullment of a marriage that produced his two daughters. His wife suffered from depression.
