DRUDGE: "Bush visit with...victims...contributed to "tired" appearance"
From the sludge report:

"Bush inner circle suggests Bush visit with Hurricane victims earlier in day was emotionally draining, contributed to "tired" appearance in debate..."


Could Drudge spin more desparately?

LOLOLOL!

2. he WAS sleepy. It was past his bedtime.
Doesn't he usually go to bed at 8:30? That means 1/2 hour into the debate he wanted to go to sleep.

3. NO EXCUSES
He's the president, for chistsakes. If he can't handle the pressure, then he needs to step down.

9. He didn't look "tired," he looked overmatched...
and out of his league. As anyone who knows anything about competitive sports, once it sinks in that you're getting your ass whipped, you begin to become agitated, drop your head and basically fall apart. If this would have been a two-hour debate, they probably would have had to pick Bush up off the floor.

10. "once it sinks in that you're getting your ass whipped"
At that point, you have basic choices:
a. Become agitated, drop your head, and basically fall apart.
b. Tough it out, make the best showing possible, and hold your head up even in defeat.

Georgie chose...poorly.

15. If they had drug tests before the debates....
Bush wouldn't show up and Kerry couldn't kick his cowardly ass.

18. they sure never made that excuse for Clinton or Carter!
Sure, we all know that presidenting is hard work, but if Bush is going to whine about it, he should let somebody else who's up to the job take it instead.
