13. People, do you understand what this means?
It confirms that he's an impatient person. It supports what Kerry has been saying about Bush rushing to war. Bush has shown that he can be impulsive. It fits. It all fits!

his eyes. He said, "I wonder what medication they have Bush on-his pupils are so dilated, his eyes look black." (My husband is a psychiatric social worker, and sees alot of heavily medicated people.)

47. I concur
Thought the same thing while watching. In my capacity as a social scientist I talk to a shitload of tweakers. Bush was one last night, no question. I don't think he bought the peanut butter shit from Nazi Bob in the trailer park, but he had something in the amphetamine family in his system.

21. the question is why does he have to blink so much
is he lying? is he listening to something else while Kerry is speaking? What a whacked out SOB.

What a lame answer on prescription drugs. i have friends who have been ordering their meds from Canada for quite some time and they are not dead. And their wallets are happier.

33. yes, and my parents are IN Canada and the meds haven't killed them yet
They're in their late 70s, and they seem to be more clued in and less doped-up than the Shrub was tonight.

Go figure!

23. We all witnessed a pathological narcissist with a near break.
The arrogance, the total lack of empathy, the "my way or the highway," the ball of wax.

The man is a sociopath and ought to be locked up.

35. If I had been Charlie Gibson....
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 12:45 AM by BiggJawn
"Uh, Sir? Mr. President? Uh, Mr. Bush? Thank you. Now sir, you may be President of the United States and Conqueror of Afghanistan and Iraq, but I, sir, am Moderator of this forum, and as such, sir, let me reiterate that on THIS stage *I* am 'Master and Commander'. Do we understand each other, Mr. President?"

But then, I'm not Charlie Gibson,and I don't have to worry about some coffee over-achiever of a Producer screaming incoherently at me about "fucking up my ACCESS!", do I?

He blew it right there. I was SHOCKED!
But I bet the Murkan Sheeple LOVED that little display of manly "ain't-gonna-take-no-shit-from-nobody", didn't they?

38. I predicted it
He cannot tolerate criticism. Kerry just has to continue to bait him and hammer home that he has made mistakes.
He was really coming unglued when asked to admit if he had done anything wrong. He was aggressively defensive during that entire debate. It was ugly.
I think he may have lost the presidency for a different reason, though. The presidency is no longer useful to him.
I think Kerry's sly comment about "intelligence" probably really stung. Saying something like that in Senate chambers would be one thing. In a public forum on live television broadcast nationally is something else. He can't sanely deal with that kind of underhanded insult in front of people. He doesn't care anymore.
Rove has had him playing up the idiot boy\good 'ol boy image in order to reduce expectations. This presidency is all about Shrub and what kind of ego boost he gets out of it.
Now that his feelings have been hurt significantly in front of people, I am pretty sure he will longer care what Rove or any of his handlers think about what he does. Watch for him to cancel or outdo himself with his outright rudeness in the next debate.

40. I think they gave him uppers tonight so he
wouldn't be as dull and listless as he usually is. Trouble is it backfired because it made him agitated and irritated. And hey, what happened to his accent?

43. "they gave him uppers tonight "
I think they gave him more than "uppers".

One tell tale sign of someone doing coke is the side to side movement of the jaw. My wife and I noticed it as he was talking.

It's not the first time we've noticed it either.

I think he should submit to a drug test today.

If pilots, cops, firemen, basketball players, baseball players, football players and any other athlete are subjected to drug testing, why isn't the pResident?

Hell, I had to take a drug test to work in a stinkin factory one time.

I think the guy with his finger on the button should be proven to be drug free.

Any opinions?
