Is Kerry's "cold" a fake?

[Bleacher Creature]

Think about it. If you were one week away from having to go up against one of the greatest debaters of his generation, wouldn't you come up with a fake cold so that you would have a way out of it??

[JuniorPlankton]

1. Yep, Kerry and Clinton

are the two great malingerers.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

2. Absolutely.

I wouldn't wanna debate George "Master-Debater" W. Bush either!

[BiggJawn]

9. Dubya the MASTERdeBATOR

Makes me just shiver thinking about JFK having to face him mano-a-mano....

NOT!

[bigendian]

3. The wisdom of DU.

God cured him. I read it right here so it must be true.

[sui generis]

4. yes - it's pretty clear that Bush is going to give us a debate

that Lincoln, Washington, Eisenhower, Cicero, and Maya Angelou combined couldn't deliver, so Kerry should probably just send a postcard.

[politicat]

5. What are you smoking?

Keep it away from me!! Dude, drop the synthetic toad skins!

Last I knew, "great debaters" had to be able to string together coherent sentences.

* may be a "master debater," but we're not allowed sex threads. :silly:

Pcat

11. Bush has yet to lose a debate...he is the Master of All Time...

He would annihilate Lincoln AND Douglas with both lips tied behind his back. Those morans could not match for Chim--ahem--President Bush's skilled and nuanced debating skills.

[Bleacher Creature]

16. Haven't you seen him in action?

That folksy charm and his uncanny ability to keep things simple. He's truly amazing.

[skypilot]

6. I'd cultivate a cold...

...and then spew all over that prick.

Cough. Cough. Cough. Oh, sorry.

[rocktivity]

7. If that tape of him that Al Franken played today is any indication

He's thisclose to losing his voice completely. He sounded only slightly better in his response to the Bush/Allawi press conference today. He definitely needs to rest his throat. Edwards can cover for him.

:headbang:

10. Right Kerry is running out of excuses not to face The Master d Bater

[calico1]

8. Yes its fake. Can you blame him?

They can't make him talk if he has no voice. Even Clinton got so scared that he faked a quadruple bypass. That is how intimidating * is!:silly:

[patdem]

12. Well, you can tell by today's presser that bush* can't wait for the debats

(e left out on purpose)

bush* is a "Master bater..er uh..I mean a "Master Debator" and Kerry must do all he can to avoid(e) the war of words!! :silly:

[Pirate Smile]

13. Why does everyone on this thread have the same avatar?

How are you doing that? Now I have it to, what is the deal?

[Bleacher Creature]

15. That's weird.

Everyone on the whole site has the same avatar??

[Scairp]

14. Oh sure, fake

He's nothing but a coward anyway. We just support him for shits and giggles. Oh yeah, and we hate Shrub, master debator that he is. Excuse we while I :puke:

[KoKo]

17. Everyone on this thread has the same Avatar and the original post

wouldn't appear to belong on DU....

[Barad Simith]

18. test nt

[Barad Simith]

19. yup, me too (nt)

[Scairp]

24. That's not mine!

WTF is up with that?

[HFishbine]

20. Hysterical blindess is probably next

If he's smart, he'll do anything to get out of the debates.

22. thank god someone else watched the debates in 2000

I agree wholeheartedly, bush rambled incoherently thru most of the debates, most people nodded without understanding the substance of his anwswers to the questions. Gore acted too physically aggressive and that turned off alot of people.

[ComerPerro]

23. Well, a lot of that comes from people feeling sorry for Bush

Which really pisses me off. Why should we feel sympathy for him? He knows what he is getting into.

And, getting people to feel sorry for you because you are a mindless, idiotic tool who is getting completely trounced is not my definition of winning a debate. There are probably tons of high school kids in the country that could trounce Bush in an actual debate.


Bush's performance in the debates was downright horrifying. He was obviously bullshitting his way through answers (I was too busy laughing at his dumb ass to be seriously scared, though) but no one called him on it. No one demanded that he show that he could back up his claims or that he even knew what he was talking about.

And, worse yet, he lied. He lied his ass off, and he was an arrogant schmuck.

Look at the transcripts from those debates. He talks about his plans for the economy (none of which was true, except for the part about cutting taxes for the rich), but it was all based on "fuzzy math", to borrow his phrase.

Moreover, look at his proposals for foreign policy. He blasted Gore for "nation building" and "police missions", and then two years later he turns around and does all of it. Except, in Bush's version, there was no exit strategy to speak of whatsoever!

He is a fucking liar, a total moron, and a complete fraud.

25. pity bush pity America, the senseless following the mindless

on edit it looked better this way

[ComerPerro]

26. I will have to remind myself not to swear in the subject lines

Whoops!

[Demonaut]

27. visceral response, figured you would get busted but the rest of the post

was great

[gordianot]

29. Nickname

I understand his nickname among the family was "boss cousin" in his childhood.

This man is not well, there are numerous physical and behavioral symptoms. My guess he has given up substance abuse and is medicated.

This man is not well. Professionally I shouldn't but I do feel sorry for him. His family is dysfunctional and in major denial. Obviously someone is directing him "Rove?".

The Bush family will be closely studied someday in the future not for the tragedy they endure but for the tragedy they have caused.

28. i do think Kerry is trying to find a way to get out of debating

i can understand since bush is such a great debator but i don't think it will work.
