Gergen: Bush seemed like "didn't want to be there" -- that's ARROGANCE

[DeepModem Mom]

ANGER, ARROGANCE, PETULANCE

We saw some of the real Bush tonight. He's angry he has to deal with an "opponent" -- the Bushes think they own our White House.

1. If this is Gergen's observation then it is most likely so.

[Jade Fox]

2. His entitlement was being questioned....

How dare they!

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

He knew he was going to get creamed

Kerry makes * look like a grade school debater

3. Kind of like daddy Bush

When he checked his watch in 1992

13. Hell, Baby Bush checked his watch

As well in 2000 in one of the debates. I yelled, "Oh, hell no!" in shock when he did because daddy got lampooned for it, and he did it much more obviously and with a pissed-off "are we through yet" look on his face, but no one called him on it, of course.

4. I thought he looked drugged and pathetic. He was in short just

awful. KERRY WON THE DEBATE GOING AWAY.

5. Have to compare with the Gore/Dole presentation at SMU this week

that Gergen moderated. Those two, whether or not you agreed with either side, are STATESMAN. At one point, a guy stood up and said that he didn't like it that Gore had discussed some political agendas. Gergen said, basically, thank goodness that we have freedom of speech.

Gergen seems pretty even-handed.

6. Gergen generally pisses me off...but i trust his judgment.

This time, at least.

[DeepModem Mom]

7. He had good things to say about Bush, but no Kerry negatives...

only Kerry positives. Said Kerry's "back in the game." Would not declare a "winner."

9. Gergen is a Republican but he's an old-fashioned, decent

Republican. There were some. Gergen is one.

[gordianot]

8. Bush looked sick.

Did you notice how Bush II looked when Kerry brought up Bush I?

Gergen had it right.

[ButterflyBlood]

10. of course he didn't

it was a solid ass kicking of him from start to finish.

[Lars39]

11. His expressions reminded me of pics of Mussolini.

Very disturbing.

[asjr]

12. That's it! I kept thinking who he reminded me of. It is Mussolini!

He made some of the most gosh-awful faces I have ever seen.
