I thought Kerry did really well in the debate last night. And Bush seemed like he was about to implode about halfway through, but somehow he managed to pull it together... I'm surprised that a bigger deal isn't being made of him yelling at the moderator.
The insta-polls have Kerry winning the debate by a slight margin, but i'm sure we will be hearing plenty about how well the president did...
One of the weirder moments was when Kerry had mentioned that Bush owned a timber company, and Bush seemed even more baffled than usual. Here is what i found at factcheck.org:
Bush got a laugh when he scoffed at Kerry's contention that he had received $84 from "a timber company." Said Bush, "I own a timber company? That's news to me."
In fact, according to his 2003 financial disclosure form, Bush does own part interest in "LSTF, LLC", a limited-liability company organized "for the purpose of the production of trees for commercial sales."
So Bush was wrong to suggest that he doesn't have ownership of a timber company. And Kerry was correct in saying that Bush's definition of "small business" is so broad that Bush himself would have qualified as a "small business" in 2001 by virtue of the $84 in business income.
