Cool- my meme is being picked up...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/politics/administration/whbriefing/

So who was that George Bush we saw Thursday night? The one who at times looked more peevish and bored than gregarious and resolute?

The notion that voters may come away from the debate thinking of Bush as someone who becomes upset when challenged is potentially devastating to the image of the president that the White House has fostered since Sept. 11, 2001.
...


Ronald Brownstein writes in the Los Angeles Times: "Polls taken after the debate found that picture of Bush surprised many voters, who are more accustomed to the confident and congenial chief executive they see in more scripted settings. . . .

"Are Bush's scowls likely to turn the race? The danger for Bush is that the images will convince voters he is indignant when questioned or challenged. That could reinforce a weakness for the president in the polls: the sense that he's too stubborn."




All Kerry's got to do is either a) get Bush pissed again, or b) not get Bush pissed again and say "Bush is not being himself!"

1. Win-win for us!
Either Arrogant 100% of the time if he keeps it up, or an emotional Flip-flopper if he doesn't!

2. "...sense that he's too stubborn."
Or maybe he's just a raging asshole?

I don't think Kerry will have a hard time pushing the Chimp's buttons again. He didn't even break a sweat last Thursday.

Unless...the ShrubCoTM master debater finally emerges. Then we're in big trouble! Oh no! What will we do? <<< wrings hands >>> woe is me! woe is me!

3. I think a lot of people started to think about that pissy man's
finger on the nook-yook-lar button and it did not make them feel all that comfortable.

He looked like he was very capable of a hissy fit which could culminate in some devastating results.

Kissinger and Haig used to play hide the 'football' when Nixon was on one of his benders late at night. Let's just hope that there are some cooler heads on the Shrub staff as well. Eeeeeeeeeeeek!!
