News Item: Kerry to President Bush: "I hope to have a real debate on the issues"
Here is what the debate might look like:
Kerry: You screwed up Iraq
GWB: But you voted for it!
Kerry: yeah, but I voted hoping that you wouldn't screw up
GWB: So you agree with me that we should have taken Saddam out?
Kerry: Well, yes.
GWB : So you are just pissed off that we didn't ask the French for their help strongly enough
Kerry: when you put it that way....
GWB: Yes...
Kerry: I am the real deal. I fought in Vietnam. Bring it on. Besides you are wrong about the Patriot Act
GWB: But you voted for it.
Kerry: Yeah, but I did not know Ashcroft was going to..... wait wait.... I helped put the sunset clauses in it
GWB: So you agree with me that it is OK to trample on citizens' rights for a short time, but not for a long time. Right?
Kerry: I don't want them trampled on at all.
GWB: Then why did you vote for it?
Kerry: I am the real deal. I fought in Vietnam. Bring it on. Besides, where is Osama?
GWB: I know where he is, but tell me something: you are opposed to the death penalty, right?
Kerry: Yes, and I am proud of it
GWB: So if we tried Osama and he was found guilty, you would oppose a death sentence for him? Even though he had 3000 americans killed?.
Kerry: Well, you could say that.
GWB: Well John, it has been interesting. perhaps you would like to be my VP?
