I thought he got it wrong. Didn’t he say Ann the first time and Vicky the second?

(I’ve only had one beer. Honest!)

I think the phrase “Couldn’t find his ass with two hands and a map” applies here.

Bush just said, “We gotta be right %100 here!” Um, yeah, too bad about Iraq then!

And quit saying “wrong war wrong time, blah blah blah,” dude!

Damn, if that’s how he acts during a tough debate, no wonder he has no patience for diplomacy!

“A tool that law enforcement now uses to talk to each other?”

They DO teach the difference between singulars and plurals at Yale, right? I’m beginning to wonder…

I really wish Kerry would say something like: “A President inherits the mistakes of his predessesor. It was wrong to invade Iraq, but when I’m elected, I will inherit that mess and do the best I can to lead our forces in that quagmire and get them home as soon as possible.”

Why was that woman wearing an origami sculpture that clashed with the jacket it was on?

Kerry is OK but more evasive than he should be. Answer the question first, then give the anti-Bush speech.
