Hell freezes over: The NATIONAL REVIEW says Kerry destroyed Bush

[Paragon]

Don't shoot the messenger.

I thought Kerry did very, very well; and I thought Bush did poorly — much worse than he is capable of doing. Listen: If I were just a normal guy — not Joe Political Junkie — I would vote for Kerry. On the basis of that debate, I would. If I were just a normal, fairly conservative, war-supporting guy: I would vote for Kerry. On the basis of that debate.

And I promise you that no one wants this president reelected more than I. I think that he may want it less.

Let me phrase one more time what I wish to say: If I didn't know anything — were a political naïf, being introduced to the two candidates for the first time — I would vote for Kerry. Based on that infernal debate...

1. Was that a pig that flew by my window?

Bill Kristol was also admitting defeat on Fox News.

[Justitia]

15. Nope, the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse - that's all. -eom

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Wow! What was that??

A herd of swine just flew past my window. And Satan has frostbite.

4. Jinx

3. YEE-HAW!!!

5. GyAchKrYehY!

FlrgzCklm!!! :wow:

[Elidor]

6. It's a trap! They're trying to kill us with cognitive dissonance!

Everybody RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

7. Watch it..

They could be lowering his expectations for the next two debates!

[murielm99]

9. I thought they already did that for * in this one.

How much lower can they go?

LOL

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. THey have been using pick axes and hand shovels

watch, they are reaching for the industrial digger to lower them even further

[The Magistrate]

11. That Cannot Help Him Now, Sir

When you are in the office, "not quite as dumb as you'd expect" is a useless argument....

"Why ain't I fixed the roof? Well, when it leaks it's rainin', and it's too wet to go up an work, and when she ain't rainin', why, it don't leak."

[Kurovski]

24. It's a simple matter, really

Kerry knows what he's talking about and Bush doesn't.

Bush will be outclassed at every debate.

The debate on terra was supposed to be Bush's ace in the hole, but Kerry aced Bush and it's the Shrub who's deep in the hole.

[RafterMan]

8. The thing is

The conservative pundits aimed at the lowbrow, ignorant viewer can say "Bush won" to try to shape opinion, but every reader of NR watched it and knows what really happened.

If they tried to pretend otherwise, they'd look like idiots to their own readership.

It was that lopsided.

[progressivebydesign]

10. Welll Nordlinger is really candid.. but he's a real dipshit.

"Rushmore level president"??? BUSH??? What must the quality of crack be in that man's system? He's pretty delusional about the ne'er do well pREsident.

[MotorCityMan]

27. That remark got to me, too...

He believes history will bear that out, and if it doesn't, history is wrong?!?!

whatEVAH!!!

[nostalgicaboutmyfutr]

13. just get a screenshot...

and send to each of your pug friends.....then when they are at the depths of their depression....show them the print out of the John Eisenhower article and then the Crawford news article...and the Buchanan article on Kerry and Iraq...

tell them they are not voting against a conservative, because bush is not one.....

Console them in their grief...get them to the polls....

[LoZoccolo]

14. Meanwhile, a CNN talking head says it was a draw...

...in a lame attempt to stave off accusations of liberal bias or something by not having an opinion on anything so direly clear.

[Machiavelli05]

22. haha awesome

nice reply.

[Endangered Specie]

16. Hey, Ive got Satan, dressed as a pig with angel wings....

at my front door asking to borrow my heater :wtf:

[Leilani]

17. Nobody, except Bush Spinners have said Bush won.

However, plenty of people have said Kerry won.

I surfed all the channels, & FOX was honest. Kristol & Kondracke gave it to Kerry hands down, Barnes hemmed & hawed, & Hume stayed neutral.
In fact, the FOX panel was fairer than what I saw on CNN.

The only people who can t admit it are Bushbots & Spinners.
