Singing Loudly

What did the Daily Show think of the debate?

Comes out and points out the stylistic uses of the debate and mocks how stupid these guys were. How silly the debate is that they can't speak to each other, and that it really was just like the political speeches they already gave.

This goes back to my opinion that we wouldn't hear anything new here. And we didn't.

Later John Stewart points out that the Iraqis HAVE taken things into their own hands in Iraq. Bush stated that we can't let them do it. He let them do it by his piss poor planning. This "group of folks" that Bush claimed we sent over there (who the fuck says "group of folks"?) are being killed in droves because of his lapse in his duty.

Stewart mocks the fact that for Allies Bush goes from England to POLAND. "To be fair, Costa Rica has put us on the Do-Not-Call-List" is Stewart's response.

We didn't have a coalition of anything which is why Bush is grasping straws. We never had a coalition because we decided to go against international law and even customary law.

Stewart reveals what Kerry was scribbling down: something along the lines of: I crushed this guy.

The interview with General Wesley Clark was pretty good. He points out that Kerry probably has convinced the American public that he could do the job. I also think that the debate showed a better side of Kerry. Bush was very disappointing. Bush came across angry, condescending, and unintelligent on matters of international politics. I would like to vote for John Kerry because he seems to know more than Bush. It isn't just that I don't want Bush but Kerry has proved himself as the more discerning candidate. There are still a couple more debates with the Presidential Candidates, so I'm liable to change my mind. This, however, was a strong showing by Kerry.

The Democrats have a good reason to feel strongly about what has happened tonight. The country is in a bad situation but any improvement that could come in the future, which I think Kerry would be able to bring (even if it's not all that is needed) would be better than the chaos of Bush.
