GOT WOOD?

No doubt, he got in some great presidental punches tonight.
We know who he meant.
Kerry IS the most liberal Senator.
$84.00 how much does he own a twig's worth?
Okay, that's IT!! I have been exhausted from laughing so hard at this whole thread! HELP!!
GOT WOOD?
Ever notice, when the President is taking some time off, he's doing still working hard and Kerry seems to always be on continuous vacation playing like some rich kid.
Oh yes she most certainly DID. :)
The "Wanna Buy Some Wood" line was one of my favorites. As someone else mentioned, the "you can run, but you can't hide" line was powerful and devastating.
Just looks like Pres. Bush to me. But I'm not at all into knowing actors (maybe a couple of actresses, that's it)
I didn't see the debate, but that line is pure Dubya. I'll bet he had one of his dry, shoulder-shaking chuckles when he said it. I'm especially delighted by this, because some prematurely gleeful Leftist a*#hole said on a radio talk show this week (Medved's show, if I remember right) that the president simply could not do good in a debate because he isn't quick enough and not smart enough. Hah!
It was brilliant in the fact that it came after a far out comment that the Pres. could not have even dreamed was coming. He scored a grand slam with it and people laughed.
It was huge gaffe. Kerry admitted that Bush had Presidential timber. (cue rimshot) ;-)
Daily Kos just used FactCheck.org to show that 2001 tax returns for the President show $84 in income from a tiber concern (FactCheck's words).
But I just looked at the President's tax return from http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/presreturns.nsf/Returns/968A0298DD56761B85256E4400790D0E/$file/bush01.pdf and it shows the $84 in income (on schedule C) from an "Oil and Petroleum" business.
But here's the best part.... IT'S STILL TAXED AT THE PERSONAL INCOME RATE.. Which was the point all along...
DOH!
Kerry is, as the Hopi were wont to say, a 'shape-shifter' ....
Even though I didn't see it, I can easily imagine it, having been a close Dubya watcher for so long. People like that a*#hole I described who think GWB does not have a quick intellect have not been paying attention these past four years.
He was fired up and was on his game tonite.
My wife ("I'd vote for Kerry because of the Patriot Act but he put a malpractice attorney on the ticket so I'm voting for Bush") said during Kerry's abortion answer: "I didn't understand a word he just said." Only to be followed by Bush saying "I'm trying to decipher that."
Precious
LOL!!! I fell off the couch when he laid that one on Kerry. I knew at that moment that I had a new tagline...
A truly great phrase!
Here's the timber company background from a yahoo news article:
"I own a timber company?" Bush asked. "That's news to me." Then he paused and added, "Need some wood?"
That baffling exchange arises from an analysis by the Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck.org debunking Bush's claims that Kerry's plans to raise taxes on the richest Americans would increase the tax burden on 900,000 small businesses.
The analysis found that the Bush campaign is counting every rich person who has even $1 of outside business income as a small business owner, even if they have no employees.
The analysis said even Bush qualifies under that definition because he reported $84 in income from his part-ownership of a timber enterprise on his 2001 federal tax return.
