1. Probably, but * still lost!!!!!!!!!!! Rove must be in melt down mode...

2. no didn't appear to be

4. I know, but that's the only explanation the freepers and hahd-coah

repubs have for how badly the BoyKing fucked up last night. They're claiming that Lehrer and Kerry are in cahoots.

It astounds me that the right always tars us with the brush of "conspiracy theorists" when it's them who have come up with the "Roosevelt knew about Pearl Harbor" shit, the "Hillary Clinton is a murderer" shit, the "democrats will ban the bible and take away your guns shit," and now....ladies and gentlemen: the "Kerry knew the questions beforehand" shit.

That's a lot of shit, and it's stinking up my country's media.

8. yeah right

if there is anyone who is above question, it is Lehrer. * screwed up. There is no one else to blame. Bush had to know what kind of questions he would be asked. The PBS analysts said that this debate was the most substantive one they had seen in decades.

3. What are you talking about

They have all sorts of rigging in these debates. I mean the curtains, the lights, those don't just float magically. They have to be rigged up so that they work possible; some of the speaking system too. So i'm pretty sure there was plenty of rigging at the debate.

But it wasn't fixed.

6. Oof.

Didn't see that one coming.


"Were the conventions bunted?"

5. I saw one example of "rigging"

Did anyone notice the television feed of the split screen close up moved GWB up so his head was level with Kerry's height? Much more of the podium showed in his head shot. LOL!

7. Yep, but that was it.

Color me pleasantly surprised.

Perhaps there is hope for the Old American Republic, after all.

9. Whenever kerry scored, his podium went down!

And W talked over him and whenever he wanted - was given last word - other than that, nah...
