WE? So just how many dems DOES it take to disconnect a light?
Sheesh.
They really don't like the thought that he may not have enough time to nuance everyone to death.
The whole quote(?): "We're bringing a screwdriver and a nembutal for Kerry in addition to his usual fine red French wine, and plenty of tequilla shots for the rest of us... we know this is going to be very painful."
A screwdriver COULD be considered a weapon by the president's secret service detail. They are VERY thorough, you know.
Eh, so what. Let him mess with his own podium if it makes him glow.
Kerry doesn't feel like he needs a 15-second warning, so let him make an ass of himself by getting cut off mid-sentence on national tv.
As long as his people don't demand that President Bush also go without the warning...
This warning-light thing tells me that Flipper has been worked up into a fine tizzy this morning... I think he will either have to Sweat like a Pig tonight or else double or triple up on Prozac, at which time he will get those Hollow Sunken Scary-Kerry eyes that will swish and slosh and roll from side to side while his Marfan chin goes the opposite directions... It should be quite a show tonight...
"We're bringing our own screwdriver...."
Good! Kerry has had a screw loose for over three decades.
You think Teddy is bringing drinks?
I think the word 'sabotage' is overstating it a bit. They do sound like spoiled children, however.
Lastly, there is the point that YOU AGREED TO THE TIMING LIGHTS.
If you cannot keep your word for four days on the subject of a timing light, for crying out loud, how can ANYONE take you seriously about ANYTHING at ANY TIME?
What a putz.

LOL
DemocRATs...Dan Ratter...hahahahahaha. All I can do is laugh at them with pity at this point.
He should bring a wrench for the bolts in his neck too!
Pathetic!
I had a thought about this whole Kerry/light thing: Isn't this just typical of that campaign? I think it is. In four different ways:
1. It is sneaky. Kerry and company have pulled sneaky stuff like this before. They have little respect for protocol. Remember after Bush's convention speech -- Kerry was so desperate to get into the news cycle that he broke a long-standing tradition over remaining silent during conventions. He did the same thing to Edwards when the latter won the South Carolina primary. Remember? Edwards was giving his speech -- which everybody said was very important, that he get onto the cable news networks as a victor. Kerry, who won another state or something, decided to speak earlier precisely so he could bump Edwards off the tv.
2. It is half-cocked and last minute. How many times has Kerry left important stuff like this to the very last minute? The word is that he was working on his convention speech until the very last day.
3. It is self-defeating. Kerry's goal today is to engender headlines tomorrow like: "Kerry did great!" Obviously, he wants to get rid of the lights because they will make him look long-winded, thus hurting the possibility of that storyline. But by removing the lights, he redirects the headlines *precisely toward* his long-windedness. Tomorrow, this little stunt is guaranteed to find its way into the papers.
4. Points 1 through 3 are obvious. It is not just that it is sneaky, half-cocked, and self-defeating. It LOOKS that way. This is the real cardinal sin of politics -- and one of the reasons Bush is already a leg-up in terms of this debate (six 1/2 hours before it begins!). Because it seems so stupid, petty and small -- it makes for perfect fodder for the Bush campaign. Can you imagine the chuckle lines Cheney can get over this?
The Kerry/Edwards campaign is simply incapable of controlling its image. This is the worst campaign in modern American history. I think it is worse than McGovern/Eagleton-Shriver. Never did a candidacy have as much potential as Kerry/Edwards in the beginning, and squandered it so foolishly and so thoroughly. Kerry might win more states than McGovern, but his campaign is much worse.
Only a DemocRAT would try to unscrew a light bulb with a screwdriver.
Actually, I hope his campaign does this. Lehrer probably won't say anything... much. And Pres. Bush will dutifully say much more in his allotted time. You will have Pres. Bush obeying the rules and keeping above the fray, looking presidential as he always does. Kerry always whines about everything and he will showing what he always does. Tomorrow, the pajama-cladded bloggers will have a field day and it will be picked up by internet users and the cable news outlets. Kerry's supporters will love it and everyone else will see him for what he is. I don't see a downside here for the president at all.
