LOL!!! There's a lot more than just Kerry's parts edited out of this piece. Who produced this, Micheal Moore?

No. It wasn't Michael Moore. Someone else did it. I don't remember who it was now but I'll try to find the link on the board I got it from.

That's ok, I was just joking with that question, commenting on how similar the piece seems to Moore's selectively edited hatchet jobs. But I will admit it was annoying how he kept repeating "hard work". Of course Kerry kept repeating "I can do better" but never really explained how.

I agree that both people could do better and Kerry does have some room for work. Kerry loves to go into depth about everything so I guess he isn't used to short answer's and I guess it's been a while since Bush has done a debate but he could have done a lot better and not looked so peeved off at Kerry. *shrug* The next one should be interesting to see if Bush does any better. Definietly watching the rest of the debates.

^^^

I like to go into depth too when a short answer simply does not suffice (as evidenced by some of my posts!! LOL!!) This president couldn't go into depth about something if his life (or job- clearly) depended on it. Senator Kerry simply has a better command of the facts/ the whole picture. That's way closer to the standard we should all have for a president of the united states

go senator go!

Bush's Brown Pants

German Field Marshall Erin Rommel was noted for his very detailed plans. He tried to plan for all events. One of his battle plans is still a classic. He planned and executed a plan that called for attacking from the east at dawn, so the sun was in the enemies eyes, the he swung his attack around, and by dusk, was attacking from the east, so that the sun once more was in his enemies eyes.

The story goes that before one attack, he was holding a staff meeting with his generals, and was explaining the details of his attack plan to the staff. After explaining all of the details, Rommel paused, walked to his footlocker, opened it, and took out a red shirt. Turning back to the meeting, he told the staff, "And to show you that I have planned every detail, I want to show you this red shirt that I will wear tomorrow in battle. This way, if I am shot, as I might be, my men will not see me bleed."

One of the generals, from an occupied country, couldn't control his admiration for Rommel. "Ah, General, I am so impressed. And I, too, can follow your lead. For I shall go back to my tent, and before the battle, I shall open my footlocker, and put on ...my brown pants!"

That was Bush's problem in the debate. He forgot to wear his brown pants.

Actually he explained exactly how. Several times.

You're welcome. Also, don't forget his line "I know how the world works" and "I know how these people work. I work with them all the time!"
