Wasting a diary so as to get ahead of the spin.
Bush is out in PA today...spinning so fast I'm going to start calling him "Taz."

Bush Rips Kerry on Iraq Following DebateBy TERENCE HUNT, AP White House Correspondent
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - President Bush ripped into John Kerry on Iraq Friday, taking a more aggressive approach than he had in the previous night's debate as both candidates rushed back to the campaign trail to put their own spin on the first big faceoff.

Bush was introduced by Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., who earlier in the day had said that the debate had been Kerry's "brightest moment" of the campaign. He said here that Bush "has the strength, he has the courage. He has not wavered."
Determined to rebound, Bush said Kerry voted to use military force in Iraq but then voted against the administration's request for $87 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan. "The president cannot keep changing his mind," Bush said, thumping his finger on the lectern. "The president must speak clearly. And the president must mean what he says."
Okay...so that's it. No new spin...just the same spin, only duller.
Somebody needs to put that last gem into an ad.
