Highly partisan. Just found it interesting.

Picture of Bush's on/off switch, or wires for the ear piece? You decide!

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Since no cameras were on anyone else at that moment, we don't know what the moderator OR Kerrey was doing.

Sounds like paranoid drivel to me.

The link doesn't work.

Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :

No idea what the moderator or Kerry have to do with anything.

Which link doesn't work?

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

The photo.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

If the moderator made a motion to interrupt, or Kerrey did, then "now let me finish" would be an appropriate response, wouldn't it?

Oh. Could be. Could be Bush is crazier than a shithouse rat, too. [Razz]

Look, I just find this amusing. Kerry has his pen. Bush has his ear piece. For the love o pete, whatever happened to just knowing about the issues?

Dunno why the picture isn't working. Here's the blog with the picture. You have to scroll down.

Karl Rove is too smart for something like this. As Chris pointed out on that website, "I find it hard to beleive that Bush would have come across so panicked and lost if someone was whispering in his ear."

Bush's stammering is a result of never putting himself in anything but completely controlled situations and surrounding himself with "yes men" who tells him he is always correct. In my opinion, that is worse than being stupid (which he is not) or getting his speeches directly from Karl Rove.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

It's pretty clear there's no wires running from that box to his ears. It's more likely a receiver for a lapel mike, or something the Secret Service has him wear.

Dag, can I finish? Can I finish Dag, can I finish?

I would just like to say that I preferred Kerry's red tie to Bush's blue one.

Actually, this looks like a good attempt at dirty tricks on the Democrats part. Nice to know that the Republicans don't have a lock on it.

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

Dan, that's been obvious for a very long time now.

It's a joke, guys. A tit-for-tat about Drudge's headline editorializing combined with a MADTV PresidentialDebate comedy skit so kindly provided by Katarin in our recent Debate #1 thread.

What the hell's wrong with Kerrey having a "cheat sheet"?

See, this is why I don't read Drudge. Anything he picks up that's actually substantiated will get reported elsewhere.

I think we knew that when Dag posted that thread on Democrats trying to keep Nader off the ballot on battleground states. [Wink]

Both parties fight dirty. The only difference is, the Republicans seem more effecitve at this game. If Karl Rove would put his mad genius to fighting the war in Iraq, I think Iraq would become the 51st state in no time. [Smile]
