How many freeper excuses for *'s debate loss have there been?

[Dookus]

I'm losing track...

Bush was tired from meeting hurricane victims
Bush was betrayed by Rove
Kerry brought notes
Kerry had an earpiece (yes, they're claiming that)
Kerry had a pda


what others?

Oh, and by the way freepers - the reason he lost is because he's a dumb as a sock.

[ogradda]

1. i would have said a cake donut

but sock works.

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Lehrer was biased against Bush

--bkl

[Dookus]

3. ah yes

and also Kerry had the questions beforehand.

[amazona]

4. kerry messed with *'s tie when they were shaking hands

Seriously. Did you see that one?

I can't make this stuff up.

[Dookus]

5. yup yup...

saw that one, too.

[calico1]

6. * was tired because he had been in

Fla. comforting the hurricane victims. That's why he wasn't in top form.

[ParanoidPat]

7. Kerry 'Dilbert-ed' Bush*......

.....knocking his tie out of alignment with his handshake thereby making him look 'un-presidensifed'. :crazy:

[Walt Starr]

8. Bush threw it to "sandbag"

That one CRACKED ME UP!!!

[Geek_Girl]

9. Tie Gate!

Kerry purposefully askewed Bush's tie when they shook hands at the beggining of the debate.

Jim Lehrer stacked the deck against Bush.

[Ripley]

10. Bush don't do that fancy talkin!

He speaks plain Amurikan, but that thar Frenchie lookin Socialist Lurch uses them big smarty-pants words. So what? Bush had won on substance, not sissy style.

[Wickerman]

12. lol

having now watched the debate, read the transcript and heard it on the radio, what the hell is that substance I keep hearing about? The boy had nothing, nothing at all but 3 or 4 talking points that he used like Rush uses Oxycontin - continuously and abusively.

[Ripley]

14. Substance.

I think the looney tune crowd confuse his fakey tough guy, kick-ass, no turning back, same old song and dance for substance instead of the meglomaniacal, knee-jerk, can't admit a mistake, miserable failure that it really is.

Hell, they believe he's a cowboy ... and he's afraid of horses!!

[gratuitous]

11. About as many excuses as there have been war rationales

Though I haven't yet seen any excuses for Stupidhead that mention the mighty, mighty Clenis. It's probably just a matter of time, though.

[derrald]

13. I'm pretty sure the power of Clinton's sonar penis

resonated through Bush's head, destroying the ability of his brain to communicate effectively with his mouth

[Ducks In A Row]

15. Kerry brought his brain, and then had the nerve to use it.

[Q3JR4]

16. Wasn't there a magic pen involved? EOM.

[realFedUp]

17. "Debates don't matter...it's the candidate's record."

Yeah, if your candidate slumped over
the podium, mouthing a few tired soundbites
repeatedly, instead of defending his
past record of four years...you'd want
the focus to be on anything other than
that debate.

Bush has a record.

[tishaLA]

18. Bush's bullet-proof vest

made him terribly, terribly tired!

[central scrutinizer]

19. FR should open a new forum titled "Blamestorming"

nfm

[demwing]

20. Ultimately, Only 1

They all boil down to "It Wasn't HIS Fault!"

You know, I think Bush might just jump a point or two if he admitted that it was HIS fault that he sucked. It wasn't a trick, it wasn't a cold, it wasn't a holiday, he didn't need a nap, there were no alerts, he blah blah blah..

If you want to own your successes, you have to own your faults as well.
