Or at least he should be. I know, I once debated Bush and I couldn't speak for a month afterwards. My ears bled copiously for weeks. He was that good. My tongue was literally paralyzed from the tip down. I found out later he had actually perforated my left ear drum with one of his patented 'zingers'.
What people have to realize is that Bush is probably the finest debater ever to hold the office of President. During one debate some of the spit flew out of his mouth, boiled through the ground, and emerged a week later in China as a volcano.
I mean he is a good debater.
During his lieutenant governor debates in Texas, animals and birds would come out of the woods in flocks to listen to him. It became a real problem for animal control officials. Once a plane flying overhead was knocked off course by one of his comebacks. These are all true instances of what a good debater he is.
He pounded Gore so badly that he actually began to melt and fire extinguishers had to be used. I saw that myself on C-SPAN.
Another thing people don't know is that Bush has the power to call upon the shade of Ronald Reagan to enter the body of his opponent when he so desires. No one knows how he does it.
His tongue is not even human. It is made of pure gold, with a titanium alloy chip that is capable of infusing his words with the scent of delicious Kansas City style barbecue in order to seduce his listeners. Fortunately it doesn't work over the tv wires, but he has other tricks that do.
His words are instantly translated into 4 major languages while he speaks, depending on the listener, and those who can't speak any of those languages hear it as celestial music.
With the power of his words, he can turn a river into a raging fire, make a ship sail on dry land, and he can speak forever, if he so desires, because he has the power to stop time with his words.
If Kerry is still in human form after the first debate, it will be a great victory, no doubt about it.
