28. Now, I have to ask...

Are the Mooolahs related to the Samolians? Maybe he can meet with the Samolianian prime minister...

33. YES!
That's what I was going to vote for.

How "only in bushland" ironic, eh?

"We must be clear, and clarity is important, so no mexed missages."

LOL - your dopey is showing, little moron.

With bin Laden on the loose, nukes in North Korea, Iraq a living hell, and terrorism on the rise...

Suuuuuuuure the world is safer. (/sarcasm)

42. Transcript:
KERRY: Well, first of all, I appreciate enormously the personal comments the president just made. And I share them with him. I think only if you're doing this -- and he's done it more than I have in terms of the presidency -- can you begin to get a sense of what it means to your families. And it's tough. And so I acknowledge that his daughters -- I've watched them.

KERRY: I've chuckled a few times at some of their comments.

(LAUGHTER)

And...

BUSH: I'm trying to put a leash on them.

(LAUGHTER)

KERRY: Well, I know. I've learned not to do that.

24. Tax Gap on Homeland Security.
For someone to complain shallowly that there would be a tax gap on Homeland security after speaking about the dangers seemed really fucking stupid.

32. My favorite Bush gaffe? Whenever he opens his mouth!
If Kerry keeps this up in the next 2 debates and Edwards holds his own against Cheney, this will be an easy win for the Dems on Nov 2...

36. Either of... "hard work *for me* to *love* her" or "100,000 trained"
Have any of the pundits commented on the 100,000 number? I thought it was recently revealed that this number is b-s. No?

37. Didn't he say something about "fighting with verbosity"?
I thought I heard that early in the "debate", but he slurs his words so badly it's hard to tell.

39. His attempts to avoid the "N" word!
That's Nuclear of course...

After Kerry said Nuclear Proliferation was the greatest threat to this country, Junior attempted to discuss the subject - but avoid the words! Because the fucking idiot can't say either one of them :evilgrin:

40. Mexed missages! er mixed messages
I try to keep a leash on em. Did anybody watch CSPAN? At one point Bush got real pissed and kinda slammed his glass of water. It was funny. Bush was getting extremely red in the face sometimes while Kerry's complexion remained the same.
