This outta be good. I'll be sure to watch.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Not likely. You can package up a boring, un-personable windbag any way you want -- and he'll still come across as a boring, un-personable windbag.

Now if he did a lot of self-parody, like Al Gore did hosting Saturday Night Live, THAT would be entertaining. But Kerry is far too egotistical for that.

Exactly. The people want a fun, personable president with wars and bombs and stuff. Who wants a boring, long-winded guy who talks about numbers? Numbers are for pencil-necked geeks. We want a president who will kick the world's ass!

Bill, you make me want to yell YAAAHHHH! YAAAAHHHH!!! And then we can both jump in the air and slam into each other chest first. YAHHHH!!!

Whoa, sorry, just took my 'roids.

I want a President that can stick to ONE side of an issue.

One that does not try to live up to his hero, and become JFKII.

Bill, you are truly gifted at casting what people say in a light that has nothing to do whatsoever with what they actually said. It's an evil gift, but a gift nonetheless.

I contend that Kerry is not a personable human being. He is not a genius mathemetician, weilding his pencil in the name of saving our economy. Hell, he doesn't even attend most commitee meetings or senate floor debates and votes. The most significant "number" attached to Kerry these days is "76%", although he doesn't mention it too much.

His style of speech makes him a true "windbag". Want to argue that? Maybe you can retort by telling me Bush is a bumbler.

But whatever, Kerry is an arrogant, holier-than-though, elitist sack-o-shit -- traits that have all been documented time and time again whenever he is forced to mingle with the "little people".

Bring Bush into what I said all you want, but the next time someone uses "Clinton" as a retort, and you call them on it, I'm gonna call YOU on it.

Yep, I'll agree -- changing the subject is about as clever as it gets when trying to defend John Kerry.

Very nicely done Bill, very nicely done.

I don't think he was trying to defend Kerry. He was pointing out that your comments about Kerry, just like the majority of attacks against him, have absolutely nothing to do with his candidacy or ability to be president.

I wasn't addressing Kerry's ability to be president. If I wanted to do that, I'd repost his voting records and attendance records, his long list of flippity-flops, or maybe his flagrant and oft told lies about Christmas in Cambodia.

Instead, I was speaking about Kerry's negative personality traits, and how they make him a bad candidate for a comedy show.

Well, like I said, I think it ought to be "interesting" since Stewart will often do a Kerry/windbag impression when talking about him. I'm pretty sure the Kerry advisors have watched the show and studied that and -I- think it'll be fun to watch how that plays out.

Well, you have to be evil if you're going to take over the world. (oops - did I say that out loud?)

>I contend that Kerry is not a personable human being.

As I haven't met either candidate, I don't know if either is personable.

Good! I'd worry if any genius mathemetician weilded anything.

>although he doesn't mention it too much.

Here's some other numbers for ya:

966 - number of US troops killed in Iraq
0 - number of WMD stockpiles found in Iraq
200 billion - budget surplus when Bush entered office
344 billion - US deficit now
400,000 - number of bodies Bush and Blair said were in mass graves due to Saddam's brutal rule
5000 - number of bodies found in mass graves killed before we got there
11,600 - lower estimate for Iraq civilian casualties since the beginning of the Iraq war

Something tells me that the Bush campaign will not be too eager to campaign on the numbers.

>His style of speech makes him a true "windbag". Want to argue that?

A bumbler? I get images of the dog from the Stephen King series of books. Bush isn't really a public speaker; he blusters and stumbles when asked a real (unscripted) question. He has gotten much better at reading speeches from teleprompters, I'll give you that.

>Bring Bush into what I said all you want . . .

Sorry. How silly of me to bring Bush into a discussion of presidential candidates.

Your at home viewing audience, that's who. Same people who elected Clinton...

That excited about Kerry, Kev?

Wow... I must have missed something. I knew you were left-leaning, but I thought you were a gun owner.

Well, don't yammer to me about having them taken away (incrementally as classes or on the whole) if he actually gets into office...

If he gets in, he will make it happen.

It will be interesting to see him blamed for it if it happens since the republicans control the house and senate.

Your boy Kerry voted for the war.

0 - number of WMD stockpiles found in Iraq

Maybe, but your boy Kerry thought they were there as well.

OH, only 5,000 thats OK then..."Hey guys lets release SH and pull out. He only mass killed FIVE THOUSAND people, my bad."

My boy (Badnarik) did not vote for the war.

>OH, only 5,000 thats OK then..."Hey guys lets release SH and pull out.
>He only mass killed FIVE THOUSAND people, my bad."

"Hey, Saddam killed 5000 people! Let's kill 10,000 to prevent the deaths of another 5000. Heck, when all is said and done we might be able to kill 20,000 to save another 5000. We can keep saving people until we run out!"

Only because he was not in congress.

SH killed more than 5,000...He killed 5,000 in one mass grave site.

Are you saying he didn't kill more than 5,000 total people?

>SH killed more than 5,000...He killed 5,000 in one mass grave site.

No. The TOTAL found in ALL mass grave sites is 5000. I mean, maybe the other 395,000 bodies are hiding out with his vast caches of WMD's, but I doubt it.

--------------------------------
Bush: Nobody could say that Saddam Hussein wasn't a danger. Not only was he a danger to the free world -- and that's what the world said. The world said it consistently -- he was a danger to his own people, as well. Remember we discovered mass graves with hundreds of thousands of men and women and children clutching their little toys, as a result of this person's brutality.
--------------------------------
Observer: Downing Street has admitted to The Observer that repeated claims by Tony Blair that '400,000 bodies had been found in Iraqi mass graves' is untrue, and only about 5,000 corpses have so far been uncovered.
--------------------------------

(Cue a right winger to explain how Bush and Blair were not really lying, they were just misspeaking and using bad information.)

>Are you saying he didn't kill more than 5,000 total people?

In his lifetime? I'm sure he did. He was a bad guy. But the claims about mass graves were just plain wrong, as was nearly every other claim about Iraq before we invaded.
