They showed that Mr. Kerry can control his anger and stay cool but that he cannot suppress his inner overeager A student, flashing a bleach-white smile and nodding hungrily at each question

On a couple occasions I saw Bush looking at Kerry with pure hatred in his eyes. He really is a psychopathic little prick. I'm glad the cameras caught it.

2. The CSPAN split screen was very telling |
|
While their opponent was talking, Bush looked like a petulant child getting scolded, and Kerry was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet waiting for his turn. Quite a contrast.

4. Bush looked like a mean drunk |
|
He can't take criticism and his use of phrases such as "these people" in reference to other world leaders just made my stomach turn. He has no real respect for anyone.
Did you catch the look on his face when Kerry started talking about how Bush's father did not go into Baghdad in 91 and the reason he didn't go? I thought Bush would have a stroke on the air, the veins in his neck were popping.
There is clearly a father-son psychological problem there. Too bad Kerry didn't hammer him more. Maybe he should have mentioned Bush's mother, lol.

5. Yes he did! Now will the media lambast him like they did Gore in 2000? |
|
When Gore sighed and huffed and puffed in 2000, the media went nuts over it, and that's probably what tipped the election (by that I mean, made it close enough for them to steal). Now, will the media do the same thing to Bush? Hahahahaha yeah, right. That's like asking, "Is the Dali Lama Catholic?"

6. Here's a little history |
|
First of all -- I watched a split-screen, and was amazed at how idiotic Bush looked. I imagine that this was a detail Mr Rove and Miss Hughes overlooked.
We all know how the "stupedia" picks up on some stuff and ignores others.
They regurgitated over and over and over and over that Al Gore sighed during the 2000 debates.
What they failed to report on is that, equally conspicuously, George W Bush honked snot numerous times during the same debate. I guess he was clearing his throat, but he does so in a revolting fashion. Only thing he left out was spitting out a gobber. It was very gross to watch. Why did his mother allow him to grow up with this disgusting habit, and how does his wife stand him (obviously a pharmaceutical thing).
Just for comparison, I switched to one of the other broadcasts, The effect of seeing only a single speaker was very different.
Last night, the mask was off.

7. Watching the split screen |
|
I could not get the impression of the SNL skit where Chris Farley played Mayor Giuliani's son out of my mind.
