What if during the debates Bush slips and falls on his ass

[quinnox]

We all know how clumsy Bush seems to be on his bike, always falling off. What if during a preisdential debate in prime time, Bush accidently slipped and then falls on his but on national tv live? And then gets a real sheepish look on his face lying on the floor while Kerry stands there smiling.

1. I think his handlers will assure

he is sober for the debates.

[cheshire]

2. The morons willfeel sorry for him. I hope Kerry ask him to read.

[NYCGirl]

3. The talking heads would undoubtedly find it "incredibly charming."

And say how like the common man he is.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

4. Are you kidding? They'll blame it on Clinton.

[noahmijo]

5. Call me crazy but I bet Kerry would rush over to help him out...

Judging from the traits I've seen from Kerry.

[jean]

8. Kerry would hurry over and help the little man back to his feet AND

Vanessa Kerry would be on hand to lend her medical expertise, as she did once (that I know of) during the campaign when a man collapsed.

[noahmijo]

11. Yea that's what meant though Kerry has honor unlike his opponents

Kerry's not the type to kick a man when he's down even if that man is *.

[arbusto_baboso]

10. And several "witnesses" will claim Kerry's help was politically motivated.

and calculated to help further his ambitions.

[NV1962]

21. ...and insinuate Kerry had arranged the fall with foresight...

[Poiuyt]

6. He won't have to walk

He will be ascending up from beneath the floor in a Christ-like manner

[soothsayer]

7. He'll win the gold medal anyhow, over S Korea? n/t

9. As inept as Bush is, he does possess some communication

skills as long as his script is totally prepared. When he tells his cute little jokes, his timing is good. He knows how to get the audience connect with what he's saying and then he knows how to time the wait period for them to either laugh if it's a joke or applaud otherwise. He probably handles crowds as well or better than Kerry.

[Mad_Dem_X]

12. Handles crowds better than Kerry???

Hmmm...guess it depends on the *type* of crowd.

[ladjf]

His kind of crowd.

When he's confident that he is in friendly territory, he works them like preachers work their congregation. Don't get me wrong. I don't admire Bush in any way. My point is that it would be a mistake to assume that Kerry will best him in the debates even though he's much smarter than Bush. Gore was smarter and he didn't do all that well in the debates.

[Borgnine]

13. I have a theory...

...that even if Bush put his hands down his pants, crapped a big turd, and flung it at the audience, the media would find a way to spin it in *'s favor.

"By throwing his feces, he's clearly showing us that he's the strong, alpha male of our national society. Coming up next on Hardball, why does John Kerry continue to wipe his ass in this post-9/11 world?"

[seabeyond]

14. Kerry stands there smiling...he would help him up while he is smilin

[TNOE]

15. I would think it would be a sign from God.....

but I'm sure they wouldn't see it that way.

[0rganism]

16. Media would ensure W got the sympathy vote

Watch for Heavy Spin, no matter what happens.

[npincus]

17. let's hope he trips over his tongue

I think if he fell on his ass, he'd get sympathy votes. I hope he loses that famous temper of his, if someone asks him a question he doesn't 'like', and shows what a prick he really is.

[West Coast Democrat]

18. someone will rush onstage with a purple heart bandage

[yellowcanine]

19. He WILL fall on his ass figuratively if not in fact. We can be sure of

that. Ass fallage is what he is good at.

[zulchzulu]

20. What IF?

Chimpy will make a few slipups.

Kerry has so much ammo to use on Chimpy that all he needs to do is lure Chimpy out on just about any issue and POUNCE!
