Debate Round II
So, the second debate.
First impressions: President Bush was on drugs. Seriously, they gave him a Paxil Ritalin cocktail or something, otherwise, I have no explanation as to why he kept popping out of his chair like a spaz. I was listening on the radio, and I could hear him leaping around. He needs a vacation. A nice, long vacation...
Beyond that, I thought Kerry did quite well. He looks like a statesman because, well, he is. The Red Sox joke was stupid (it's okay to not be rational if you're a Red Sox fan but not if you're the President. What?) but Kerry did well. I'm seriously excited to vote for him. FOR Kerry, and not just against Bush.
At one point, the President asked the moderator if he wanted to buy some wood. Yes, I wanted to make a penis joke.
Bush also told us he wouldn't appoint a judge who supported the Dred Scott case. Yes, the Dred Scott case, the one before the Civil War where the Supreme Court upheld the right of people to own other people. Bush doesn't support it. Of course, he doesn't support it. We know that. We know that President Bush supports freedom. That's why we went into Iraq, to promote freedom. Freedom and liberty are the only way to make the world safer. The world is different after 9/11, and we need to take down Saddam Hussein, because he was against freedom. The terrorists hate freedom. They'd support the Dred Scott Case, and Bush will never appoint a terrorist to the Supreme Court.
For full debate coverage, I point you to Wonkette. Quite, quite good.
