Bush looked annoyed.


What is a good word for someone who *thinks* he's right
and has no doubt about it, but that is actually wrong? I'm
not just looking for jerk or simpelton but something that
actually conveys that concept of thinking you are right
(or in the right) when in reality you are not.


Anyway, Bush looked like he *knows* and *feels* that
he is in the right and is doing everything right and that
anyone who askes him any questions about it or says
otherwise is just wasting his time.


Kerry looked presidential.





Despite my many misgivings, I thought the format worked well, and Jim
Lehrer did an excellent job framing questions, keeping control and
keeping the guys moving. Not enough views of each candidate while the
other spoke.

I really felt as if Bush's handlers had given him three 3x5 cards with
instructions to repeat the same pet phrases over and over and over and
over and over. If not, and if all that is on Bush's mind is "mexed
missages," then we really do have an inarticulate dolt in the White House.

Kerry sounded and looked professional and came across as a statesmen.
Bush came across as a guy giving his first performance at Toastmasters.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
