Bush Suffers Breakdown On TV, Wins Debate
Edited on Thu Sep-30-04 06:33 PM by party_line
AP-In a stunning display of raw emotion never before seen on national television, President George W. Bush appeared to suffer a psychological breakdown during last night's square-off with Democratic nominee John Kerry.

Political commentators were quick to agree that Bush won the debate.

Observers first suspected a change in Bush's emotional state when, following a blistering attack from Kerry, a large, apparently wet stain began to appear on the front of the President's pants.

Laying his head upon the podium, Bush began to speak in a soft, high-pitched voice. His microphone was able to pick up questions apparently aimed at his father, former President George H.W. Bush, rather than his opponent. "Daddy. Daddy. Daddy, why don't you love me? " Bush whimpered.

Cokie Roberts, in a post debate roundtable on ABC, stated that such actions "clearly presented a softer, sensitive side" of Bush, "that every man in America will identify with."
.........
MSNBC's Chris Matthews was quick to point out how the alcohol reference would resonate with "Joe Six-pack," while CNN's Wolf Blitzer heralded Bush's use of "the `N' word," as "an appeal to the hippity-hop generation."

As Bush crumpled to the floor, his rival, Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, implored the audience to "give the President some air." Kerry also called out to the audience, asking "Is there a doctor in the house?" a clear violation of the debate rules.

....MORE from jazzmaniac...

6. Bush drop pants and takes a dump on stage
in what commentators are calling "a brilliant rhetorical statement". All major pundits are agreeing that this brilliant move(ment) has probably just sealed the election for Bush. Kerry was left absolutely speechless by this display, demonstrating once more, his unfitness to lead this nation.

Bush's debating skills now being compared with Cicero's. More to come on CNN, MSNBC and FOX.

7. "It was a commanding, decisive dump"
You can't "learn" leadership like that. It's something you're born with.

13. Democratic response: poor pre-debate planning
Edited on Thu Sep-30-04 06:30 PM by cmorea
Numerous West Wing staff had advised the president to go to the bathroom before the debate, but after Cheney whispered something in his hear, the two chuckled and left the room, ignoring the stunned staffers.

17. Gotta love the cautious Rather report
snip>
On CBS, Dan Rather told his network's viewers that the debate was being carried via a pool arrangement of cameras, and that he could not verify that Bush actually was curled up in a fetal position.

*must be nerves; I can't quit giggling about this

18. I've been hoping that either
a) someone could find the frequency of that little earpiece Bush wears and start feeding him gibberish.

or

b) that Bush, under the strain of his failed policies and the hi-beam spotlights, will start speaking in tongues.
