more debate funnies...

Hail to Wonkette (her remarks in bold type) again for her funny debate coverage:

When asked about the flu shot shortage, Bush said that we are working with Canada to get the problem fixed...message to George Bush: we are trying to get 1 million doses from them and we need 40 million. Here's what Wonkette said:

For vaccines we relied on ENGLAND!!!!?!?!? Wait, where's Canada and their pretend drugs? Come back Canada!!!

He also said that there weren't enough flu shots because of frivilous lawsuits...huh? Here's what Wonkette said:

Awesome: The President hasn't gotten a flu shot. . . because of frivolous lawsuits.

When talking about No Child Left Behind, Bush started into how many jobs it was going to create...again, what???

Wonkette said:

"No child left behind is really a jobs act," says Bush. Of course. And Social Security is really a missile defense program. And Federal Highways funding? Actually a part of the Metric Conversion Office. And clean coal legislation helps you make soup.

When Kerry said that the retention of the Nat'l Guard, Reserves, and Army past their commitments was a back-door draft, Bush said that the soldiers didn't feel that way. What was he smoking before this debate, anyway?

Bush: "The best way to get the troops home is to send them to Iraq." There's not even a joke to make about that.

Operative comment: "Wouldn't it have been easier to just shoot Delay with an assault weapon rather than to try to fight him over the ban?"

Kerry closing speech: "Sound bite, sound bite, aspirational sound bite, hand gesture, God bless America, kill terrorists."

Bush closing speech: "God, education, sound bite, blink, compassion, pander, blink, pander, God, terror, blink, blink, liberty, God, terror, I rock."

Our call: Bob Schieffer wins. Audience loses. French neutral. America safer now that Saddam is out of power. No, wait. . .

Despite Wonkette's funnies, I thought this debate was just dead boring...my God, could it have gone on any longer? They were both terrible! This might just keep people from the polls all together. Of course, some of the questions were just awful, so they didn't have all that much to work with. At least these debates are past us.

They mail out Oregon ballots on Friday. I just can't wait to vote and then get on with my life.

Thx for the highlights from Wonkette--- we shut it off after about 20 minutes. BORING and no one answered the questions. Gag me.

If I hear another "I approve this ad because... I rock", I believe I'll puke. Or throw something dangerous at the TV.

well we voted and got it over with in Australia, ....and believe me, its "over"! Sigh, trouble was the opposition while better was also, like Kerry sometimes, not quite up to scratch. Where did all the good guys go?

[hope]

I agree - lets just vote now and get it over with!
