LOL: Drudge: BUsh blaming pathetic performance on the HURRICANE!
"Bush inner circle suggests Bush visit with Hurricane victims earlier in day was emotionally draining, contributed to "tired" appearance in debate..." www.drudgereport.com

2. Hannity reported this on his radio show yesterday BEFORE the debate...
It was planned, undoubtedly. They knew Bush couldn't hold a candle to Kerry on the debate stage, so they sent him to Florida to visit with hurricane victims, so that, when he lost, they could say that he was exhausted because of it.

It was completely planned.

3. I might buy that if I actually believed
that self-important little SOB had any feelings for anybody other than himself.

But I don't.

9. What a hideous photo on Eggboy's website!
It doesn't flatter Kerry, but weecowboy looks worse--he looks like he wants to put his head on Big Strong John's shoulder! The photo is typical of that twit--he steals other people's work, flips it, colorizes it, clips it and puts it together, and calls it his. It's like sampling, only with digital images. I wish someone would sue his ass and win!

11. little georgie didn`t get his sleepy time
tell that to the cops,emt`s,hospital personal, and firemen and women who make life and death decisions even though they are "tired" and "emotionally drained"..that bullshit doesn`t play well in the real world.

12. That was a command decision.
I thought it was a piss poor decision. But it says something about Bush's judgment.

13. the excuse president strikes again
that's why he lost last night. He failed to take responsibility for his failures and instead just made more excuses.

15. Let the excuses begin
Bush spinners had to come up with something to explain Bush's poor performance.

It wasn't tired he looked, it was annoyed and incompetant, and maybe a bit hung over.

16. Doesn;'t that show he's not up to the most important job in the world?
Lame excuse... To be the president you need to be able to think on your feet ALL THE TIME. Not just when you feel like it.


He's simply can't handle it.

20. Exactly - crises don't wait until Bushie gets good night's rest
If Bush is so wiped out that his mental faculties crash after a day trip to Florida (and it's not like he had to rough it in the back of a jalopy), how can he be expected to "work real hard pertecting Amurca if the group of folks who want to kill us cause they hate us for our freedom" strike us after a tough day at the office?

17. John Roberts of CBS used this excuse for Bush
he didn't say it was the Bush campaign's excuse, Roberts himself gave that dumb explanation, Bush was tired from helping people. :puke:

18. Since Bush is a sociopath, completely lacking empathy
that would have to be the lamest excuse I've heard yet....

19. Maybe If He had Been There To Watch The Coffins
coming back from Iraq he would have been "emotionally drained" enough to stop the war.

21. He usually goes to bed earlier than when the debates ended...
He normally goes to bed around 9:30pm. CNN reported that his staff had been keeping him up late to get him used to it so he'd "be sharp" since the debate time ran into his bedtime. What a weenie.
