angry 2004 USA Presidential Debate •• Number Two Andrew Sullivan •• "There were moments early on... when he seemed to me to be close to shouting; and his hyper-aggressiveness, having to respond to everything, went at times over the line of persuasiveness." Ron Forunier, AP •• "As he fought to keep his emotions in check in a testy, personal debate with Sen. John Kerry, the president asserted 'That answer almost made me scowl.'... Several answers brought Bush's emotions to the surface, for better or worse, as he sought to curb Kerry's momentum.... Bush was the most aggressive, at one point overrunning moderator Charles Gibson's attempt to pose a question.." David Niven, political science professor at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton •• "Bush seemed wound a bit too tight. He was a little like Nixon sort of jumping out of his suit... He looked bad on the TV close-ups."" Jonah Goldberg, National Review •• "WHY DOES BUSH... Sound like he's angry at the guy asking about making drugs cheaper? Paul Begala, CNN •• "Good debate. The press will say it's a draw, but I think Kerry bested Bush -- or rather Bush made a few errors. Two words for President Bush: anger management. He spent much of the debate nearly yelling at the audience." John Whitesides, Reuters •• "An angry Bush at one point cut off moderator Charles Gibson to upbraid Kerry for criticising the size of the coalition backing the United States in Iraq, saying it denigrated allies like Britain and Poland." Beth Gorham, CBC News •• "It all added up to a major challenge for the president, who appeared angry and defensive during attacks from Kerry in a tense sparring match on Sept. 30 that was watched by some 62 million Americans." Oliver Willis •• "BUSH FLIPS OUT: [Look at the actual video clips on the internet.] Watch your President flip out of his gourd. I've never seen anything like it." Billmon •• "If Kerry and the Dems can't make an issue out of the fact that the president of the United States is utterly incapable of controlling his hairtrigger temper, they don't deserve to win this election... I mean, the man is a walking time bomb." David Paul Kuhn, CBSNews.com •• "BUSH MAD, KERRY COMPOSED... Though Mr. Bush was more composed than in last week's first presidential debate, all agreed his tone was sometimes antagonistic and he again appeared uncomfortable being challenged. Kerry, on the other hand, was viewed as measured and articulate. " --- Thanks To KOS 3:43:39 PM

infallible AGAIN •• In Last Night's Debate • GWB Could Not Think Of ANY Mistake He Has Made As USA President •• Other Than Choosing A Bad Person Or Two To Work For Him Salon's • Scott Rosenberg Sez: "...on that 'three mistakes' question that Bush ducked. This is a really basic, standard-issue job interview question that every job-hunting college graduate learns to deal with. (It's a variant of the "Tell me about your weaknesses" line of inquiry.) You know the interviewers want to hear something about how you deal with failure or criticism or learning from error. You need to show them that you are a little self-reflective. You're obviously not going to reveal something that's so damaging it disqualifies you from the job, and no one expects you to. But the very nature of the question is a test of tact and self-awareness. The one thing you know never to do is what Bush did tonight: You don't rattle off a list of your successes when you're asked about your mistakes. You don't say, "Let's not talk about where I was wrong -- here's where I was right." Say that and you flunk the test. I was honestly surprised Bush was so obviously unprepared for the question. (As my colleague Geraldine Sealey points out over in Salon's War Room, the president was asked a similar question at an April press conference, so he's had some time to think it through.) Then I thought about it and realized, gee, George W. Bush is a man who never in his life had to prepare for a real job interview -- one that actually would determine whether he could pay his bills. Maybe he had interviews, but you've got to figure the family name and the pedigree opened the door and sealed the deal. The interview would always have been a formality. Fortunately, this debate was more than that. Josh Marshall's commentary on this matter is also illuminating: 'In the Bush world you never admit mistakes. The only mistakes the president can think of are the times he appointed people who admitted mistakes --- who put reality above loyalty to the president.'"
