"Staying on message is one thing; robotic repetition..."
People GOT IT tonight...I think they really did...

This is a heavy duty republican blog here...

"Staying on message is one thing; robotic repetition — when there are oceans of material available — is another.

When Kerry said that our people in the military didn't have enough equipment, Bush was pretty much blasé. He showed no indignation. He might have said, "How dare you? How dare you contend that I am leaving our fighting men and women defenseless!"

I hate to say it, but often Bush gave the appearance of being what his critics charge he is: callow, jejune, unserious. And remember — talk about repetition! — I concede this as someone who loves the man.

When he talked about Iraq, he ran the risk of sounding Pollyanna-ish — a little head-in-the-sand-ish. Bush is not. But he might have left that impression."

1. this is so funny
so the spin is 'bush had a bad night, he's normally much better.' Sorry, if he can't shine on while debating in front of 40 million people, stick a fork in him.
