Kerry using a quote from Bush's own father to expose him. Ouch.

[Jade Fox]

I thought that was Kerry's cleverest move. He pulled it off well too. It
would have been easy to smirk or mock while saying it (God know Dubya
would have), but Kerry stayed cool.

1. I thought W's eyes were gonna come out of their sockets

6. Sadly, they did not have the split screen up on CBS where I was watching..

CBS did the split screen thing intermitantly, and it was off when Kerry
started to quote Bush SR. Dang, I would have loved to see Jr's face!

2. I thought that was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!

3. That was AWESOME!

Not only because it was true on it's face, but because GWB has, er, some daddy issues.

5. Clinton did the same thing to 41.

I wonder if it was the Clinton people's idea. At any rate, it was a very good move and probably tapped into W's unresolved Oedipal issues.

9. Who did he quote? n/t

18. Prescott Bush,

on McCarthyism, when 41 questioned Clinton's patriotism.

7. oooo, that was grand!O

knowing the oneupmanship 43 has regarding 41 I know that stung. And the split screen was priceless.

10. I missed that. What was the quote? eom

[Jade Fox]

13. It was Bush Sr. reason for not going all the way into Iraq .....

after the Gulf War.

I'm hesitant to try to quote it, because I'll make mistakes. The transcripts
are around....

[Arugula Latte]

16. Oh yes. I recall that little gem.

Ooooh, that's devastating. Thanks!

[MarianJack]

[prayin4rain]

15. As my friends say: He Stuck It In And Broke It Off /nt/

17. I bet you W hasn't read his own father's book!!!!!

19. A lot of us predicted over the weekend that that move would..

send * over the clift. I'm sure we were all jumping in our skins when Kerry used 41 as a reference.

[liberalpragmatist]

20. Also when he singled out Ronald Reagan

When pointing out that we need to work with allies. That was a smart move.

I wish he'd expanded this analogy. He could've said "the mark of a true leader is knowing that when a policy is not working you change your strategy. That's a value that America's greatest leaders have held: FDR, JFK, Lincoln, Reagan - the President, on the other hand, is rigid and ideological. That's not true leadership. That's stubborn leadership. That's reckless leadership. That's not the kind of leadership we need in America. I will give America responsible leadership that will restore America's honor and credibility in the world."

21. that's not leadership. that's willful obstinance.
