Oh, goodness, that's too bad you got stuck listening to Lurch. I must say, I dislike him more than I ever disliked Clinton and Gore. Well, maybe he is tied with Gore.
I find his "Bush is satan" and to blame for everything bad in the world is so sickening.
The long term effect of the Kerry campaign will make things a bit hot in congress for a while. I'm not quite sure why Bush didn't bring up the fact that he needs legislation on his desk to fix the woes Kerry drums up. Regan used to say "Get me a bill on my desk" all the time. His way of saying put up or shut up. Bush has failed miserably at that. He's been too busy defending himself when he should have just placed legislative issues where they belong and executive issues where they belong.
