I'm Voting For Dukakis!

| |

The blogoshpere is abuzz today with recollections of last night's debate. Ted Leo thinks Kerry blew it, but the general consensus says he did pretty well. And I have to agree. All I heard Bush say was "You forgot Poland!" and try and attempt to bash Kerry for his "wrong war, wrong place, wrong time" rhetoric ad naseum. I didn't really pay that close attention to this debate as I know where I stand on foreign policy. I want to see B & K go head to head on what's going on at home. And what's with Rudy Guliani going on all the postgame shows and repeating the same crap as Bush? What a robot. He can suck it. Before 9/11 everyone in NYC thought he was a douchebag for openly cheating on his wife. Now he's "America's Mayor". Please. Go back to your cameo's in Adam Sandler movies.

And no matter how good everyone's coverage of the debate is, it won't beat Shatnerian's post from Tuesday recalling this Bush v. Dukakis SNL skit . Nice one.

Diane Sawyer: You still have a minute-twenty, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Well, more has to be done, sure. But the programs we have in place are doing the job, so let's keep on track and stay the course.

Diane Sawyer: You have fifty seconds left, Mr. Vice-President.

George Bush: Let me sum up. On track, stay the course. Thousand points of light.

Diane Sawyer: Governor Dukakis. Rebuttal?

Michael Dukakis: I can't believe I'm losing to this guy!

that's a classic SNL skit. "little swarthy people." ha ha.

Kerry did very well, and hopefully the CW spinmeisters won't be able to downplay that over the weekend. So keep up the positive buzz, people.
