I want my Lloyd Bentsen moment!
This is what we need in the debate vs the shrub.

"Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy," "I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

2. Lloyd Bentsen was part of the losing team
I'd accept no great one-liners and a win instead.

3. John Kerry is NO Michael Dukakis....
Kerry should win this thing. The debates ARE critical for him to grab momentum.

4. I want to see Bush GULP HARD
like poor little Danny Quayle did when Bentsen ripped him. :-)

5. that was a terrible, snotty line
I lost respect for Bentsen when he said it. It was catty and defensive. IMO.
