That's cool, Michael. Thanks to Scotty, you can keep your principles
and watch the debates.

Judging from how Gore simply destroyed Bush in the 2000 debates, yet all the media outlets were practically falling over themselves to say how well Bush performed, I'm not looking forward to the reviews tomorrow. *Sigh*

So far, so good, I'm relieved to say. It looks like the overwhelming response is that Kerry won the day and Bush is a vapid shell of a human being. Okay, well, maybe not the latter in so many words, but that's just 'cause they're being polite.
Did anyone see cartoonist Aaron McGruder on CNN last night? I missed it, but from Salon's
War Room:
Quote:
While pundits on the left, right, and center agreed that John Kerry beat George Bush in the opening debate, none was more emphatic than “Boondocks” cartoonist Aaron McGruder. “Bush got his ass whupped,” McGruder told CNN’s Aaron Brown.
But the outspoken McGruder, who was relegated to “The Contrarian” segment of Brown’s news show, was not finished. “The elephant in the room” that no TV pontificators will dare acknowledge, he observed, is that Bush “is incredibly dumb...he can’t articulate, he can’t complete a full sentence, and he’s our president.”
Brown, being a member in good standing of the pontificator class, rushed to challenge McGruder, asserting that Bush was a man of strong beliefs, blah, blah, blah. But McGruder was unimpressed. Convictions don’t mean a thing if you’re just plain stupid, he pointed out.
And with that, Brown bade The Contrarian farewell.
