Bush: 7.5
\nKerry: 8.75<\/p>\n
– What was with the almost exactly identical outfits? Someone really needs to bust out with a wacky tie one of these days. Black suit, white shirt, red tie with white dots, American flag on the left lapel?<\/p>\n
– Bush has been coached and has gotten better relative to himself over the past debates.<\/p>\n
– Bush likes to check that the lectern isn’t running away, he hit it about 20 times during the debate.<\/p>\n
– As Ian put it, Bush is a one-trick pony. Everything comes back to “No Child Left Behind.”<\/p>\n
– So it’s ok to bring in flu vaccine from Canada (was anyone else wondering why we aren’t producing our own flu vaccine?) but it’s not ok to import our own prescription drugs from Canada?<\/p>\n
– What the hell is an “army of compassion” ? Did this bother anyone else?<\/p>\n
– I love the bit when Bush starts to bash some media report by saying “In all due respect, I’m not so sure it’s credible to quote leading news organizations about — oh, nevermind.” Particularly funny when watching at the j-school.<\/p>\n
– Kerry looked like he got a haircut, and the remark about “marrying up” was funny — because it was true!<\/p>\n
– They both forgot Poland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
