Bush handed us a huge opening tonight.
It was great that Kerry finally came out so strong, but much more important that Bush wilted so meekly.
Bush was weak! Bush was weak! Bush was weak! Bush was weak! Bush was weak! Bush was weak!
Weak in style, weak on substance.
The Leader Of The Free World sputtered through most of the debate, grew flustered, appeared confused, couldn't seem to remember the question, lost his train of thought . . .
Kerry called him on his colossal failures and all he could manage was to point out Poland was behind us in Iraq.
And could he have been a bigger weanie the way he pouted and pursed his lips every time Kerry pounded him into the pavement?
It's time we act like the Republicans and grab hold of a theme and run with it.
Time to undermine George with exactly the message which will damage him most, and will resonate because it was so real.
George Bush was weak!
Keep that meme running.
Our president was weak! Our president was weak!
He has staked his entire campaign on an image of strength. If we seize now on what every American saw with their own eyes, and can hammer that message home, the pillar of his support crumbles.
George Bush was weak.
Our enemies took comfort tonight. They watched a weak president.
We are saddled with a weak leader.
No wonder we're in Iraq all by our lonesome. Can you picture George Bush negotiating with world leaders? We never get to see those private exchanges, we've been guessing for four years about how he acts one on one with a tough international adversary. Now we have a window into just how weak the man is. Putty in Dominique De Villepin's hands.
Can you imagine a more ghastly image to a conservative: Getting our butts whipped in negotiations with FRANCE!
Our president is weak.
