Don't forget the word ANGRY -- everybody was using it here last night...

[DeepModem Mom]

and folks don't like anger. The split-screen shots revealed Bush in all his angry petulance and arrogance. It burns him that he has to deal with opposition -- the Bushes think they own our White House.

And if you're a mom, you've seen sullen before.

4. Don't forget "unhinged" either..

Too bad the assault weapns ban expired...

...that's one angry little dude I'd hate to see packin' heat.

7. it's because he is detached from reality

and a whole different one smacked him in the face last nigt. I guess it's hard to listen to someone challenging his positions and disastors. Much different than the hand picked audiances they parade in him in front off.

8. I would also add "RATTLED"

I have seen that word in a number of places. Bush was angry and rattled.

[DeepModem Mom]

10. True!

[liberalmuse]

11. And defensive!

All I remember of Bush last night is him trying to pull sentences out of his ass and getting very angry as Kerry was eloquently explaining what he thought of the situation in Iraq. Seeing Bush in the background with pursed lips was funny, especially since my mom, who is a narcissist always does this when someone isn't agreeing with her. Oh, but he was a pissy little bitch.

My take? Bush was intimidated by Kerry. Of course it came across as petulance. How dare Kerry even THINK of questioning him! It was also funny how Bush was dropping names like some NY gossip columnist and surprisingly pronouncing most of them right this time, except for 'Kim Jun...ji...' and 'Vladamurr'. Some of the names I wasn't all too familiar with. I was like, 'Who TF is that guy?' at one point. The mullah schpiel out of nowhere was a riot.

12. I preferred "peevish"

from the NYT.

It's the word I was looking for all night.
