Presidential Master Debater
Created | Updated Oct 2, 2004
George Bush looked like Humphrey Bogart in the first debate - unfortunately for the Republicans it was the way Bogart looked in The Caine Mutiny - I expected him to start fidgeting with some ballbearings and start muttering about strawberries by the end of the debate. His facial contortion were a riot. He looked and sounded like a drunken frat boy who had been called on the carpet by the dean for cheating on an exam and was defending his action by pointing out that he was on the football team and his daddy donated a new building. The deer-in-the-headlights stare when he lost his train of thought and the obvious agitation and nervous smirking - he must have blinked several hundred times during his two-minute closing remarks - make one wonder what he's like under real pressure, like an enemy attack.
John Kerry, on the other hand, looked downright presidential - cool,calm, collected, with a solid grasp of the facts (aside from the "treblinka square" misstep). He beat George like a drum.
