Bush is LAYING the Texas accent on THICK, ain’t he? ---

“There’s a lot of pressures”-Bush…Nice subject-verb agreement. ---

I heard that Bush’s team were working on his “face time”. In my mind I pictured this as meaning they gave him a mirror and pictures of chimps and told him to practice NOT looking like the chimp. ---

Uh, George, didn’t Kerry already debunk the whole “flip flopping” thing last time? ---

Ooohhh, Dubya just said “9/11” and WMD in the same sentence. This calls for a double scotch! ---

Bush sounds really testy. Maybe it’s because of the Iraq questions. Anybody else noticing Bushs head bobbing. Maybe he is turning into a black woman. 😛 ---

Holy shit! “I wasn’t happy that there wasn’t weapons!” (I know what he means, but that’s GOTTA be a great soundbite!) ---

I don’t find it fair that the moderator gets to pick and choose which questions are asked. So far, they seem a little bit safe and generic. That guy who asked the second question looks scary. :eek: Holy crap! Bush can write?? ---

“Consistent” a few times, hmmm? Kerry is delivering a few too many campaign speech lines. ---

I am refraining from the drinking game, I’m just getting over a cold and feeling very sleepy. If I had been playing I would have been unconscious already after Bush’s first question. I lost track of how many times he said 9/11. ---

'The kind of mind set that says sanctions were working" They were! obviously! What planet is he on? ---

“Remember the last debate?” - George W. Bush Not the smartest opening comment. Nice comment by both Bush and Kerry on sanctions. Heh, Bush looked mad. Kerry seriously needs to just say something and look at Bush, totally punking him. ---
