Mopped the floor? Perhaps on style but not on substance. I guess the

that Kerry "mopped the floor" with Bush. Did you actually *listen* to
what the candidates said Chuck?

Not only did I listen, I read the transcript. One would think that
"substance" would come through in a transcript, it doesn't. Bush lost on
style and substance.

The transcript:

I almost always read the transcripts when Bush "speaks," because he is
such an awful speaker. But there's nothing in the transcript that saves
Bush in terms of content. Did you count the number of times he said or
tried to say "mixed messages?"

Bush's "style" has to do with his perceived affability. But during the
debate, he wasn't affable. There was nothing left.

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?
