If it were possible, bush now looks like even MORE OF A DUMBASS!!!!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

I am reflecting something I read in another thread which I think merits discussion.

I posted early in the debate that, while I had always suspected cheney was actually the one running things, I simply had never really listened to cheney speak for an extended period of time and thus never completely had it confirmed, but tonight nailed it.

bush is NOT THE ONE IN CHARGE. I got a few "well duh!" reactions to that post, but seriously, I think a lot more people besides me out there always thought of that "cheney is really in charge" line as a semi-joke or never really thought about it much, which was my case.

But wow. How in the WORLD can anyone think bush is actually the president after tonight? bush couldn't string together that many words if he WANTED to.

Even at THAT, cheney was mumbly, half-hearted, boring and nearly put himself to sleep. When both men were supposed to endorse the top of their ticket, it was as if cheney were forcing himself to say the good stuff about bush. It was SO damn half-hearted. And no wonder! He probably thinks HE should get the "credit."

bush is looking like an even bigger dumbass right now and I honestly didn't think it was possible.

1. On CNN, Jeff Greenfield was opining the same thing.

That putting who won tonight aside, the real question is: WHO is the Commander in Chief--really.

Cheney made Bush look even worse.

3. That's a good thing, because

So many people are afraid of, and dislike, Cheney.
If more people start to realize that he's the one in charge, then the likeability thing is moot and Shrubbie's on his way out.

4. That's what stuck me

Even though all he did was lie, Cheney looked more commanding that * did last week. I thought the contrast was striking.

5. A bungler (Bush) and a liar (Cheney) on the GOP ticket. Niiiice.
