"Xanax Saves Bush's Election Hopes"
Can we agree that the president seemed defensive and angry during the first third of the debate?
His voice went up at the end of each sentence -- that tone people use when they think you're stupid because you don't agree with them.
Bush got a little less aggro after 20 minutes or so, but he still had that pained look whenever he was asked a tough question.
Spin, spin, spin. Bush's base thinks he did a great job because they share his frustration that more than half of their fellow citizens think they're possibly a bunch of fucking lunatics who are hell-bent on fomenting Armageddon so the rest of us fornicators may be Left Behind.
Anyone who supports Kerry -- or might be considering him -- saw him as relaxed, confident, aggressive, informed. Presidential?
Then again, as I said to my SO, you could put this guy up against Bush and still come out ahead on that one.
