WARNING: POLITICS AHEAD

Oct 01, 2004 14:17

I know I am potentially alienating some people by doing this, but I live in D.C., work in D.C., and am getting my master's degree in political communication in D.C., so it would be a failure on my part to not talk about politics. As I said, it may be stupid to do this, especially right before posting a new Breadbox Edition, but the debate was ( Read more... )

politics, errant stupidity

ADHD is a problem? Only if you don't have it! The rest of us are have a ball!

I think LaRouche is implying ADHD is a problem when you're the most powerful man in the world. Some people just shouldn't be having a ball when the button to destroy the world is five feet away.

An excellent summary, and quite even-handed. Both candidates definitely had their shining moments and missteps, and not enough (or big enough) of either for a difference in the long run.

And not a liberal commie pinko shout in sight. ;) Although I'm terribly amused now that your color on my friendslist is pink...

Thank you! I tried to be even handed despite my affiliations, and I'm glad you think I succeeded. I was a little disappointed that neither of them did or said something really, really stupid. There was a serious lack of drama in the debate.

Heh, your friendslist is psychic.

I'm a Bush supporter, but an equal opportunity mocker. (My quitline on IRC right now is "You cannot lead by sending messed missages" -- my favorite quote of the debate!)

BUSH calls Russian President Vladimir Putin by his first name multiple times and it sounds really awkward.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one bothered by that. And the Poland thing was just odd.

evadne_noel October 2 2004, 19:23:23 UTC

My friend Shelia kept calling Putin, "My buddy Vlad" after the debate. And if Bush had mention Poland once, I would have been like, "yeah, okay." But he kept bringing Poland up! Is the Polish vote highly coveted this year?

HA!!! I read it all, watched 10 mins of the debate and I DON'T EVEN LIVE IN USA!!! HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?!!! sorry. Am rather sugar high and have been caught singing Elton John songs at random moments. *hangs head in shame*

Re: HA! evadne_noel October 2 2004, 19:25:34 UTC

I rather like them apples. Apples are good.

Elton. John. Ooookay. Well I hope you've been singing "Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting," and not, say, "Bennie and the Jets."

Re: HA! forest_eyes October 4 2004, 00:57:28 UTC

yes, apples. Well actually we just sang The Lion Sleeps tonight which as I think about it, I'm not quite sure it's a Elton John song. I told you I was sugar high. For full details of that day see my livejournal.

Hehe, this was great. You should Breadbox the presidential debates.

KERRY: "I have no intention of wilting. I've never wilted in my life."
BUSH: "First of all, of course I know Osama bin Laden attacked us. I know that."

So awesome! Love it. =)

evadne_noel October 2 2004, 19:26:23 UTC

I can't believe they said those things. I just can't. So stupid.
