1. I watched it, it was his stump speech. I was surprised they weren't

laughing and booing him.

2. That's because they have some class.

Which is more than I can say about our classless leaders. We need some grownups in the administration.

[skooooo]

5. He was arrogant and repetitive...

Bush talked down to the audience, like he was the king of the world.

3. I'm not sure that's the official al-jazeera site . . .

It looks a little suspect to me. I always go here: http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage

And here's the link of the review of Bush's speech: http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/8C7D7999-D952-4122-A6EE-C7E884CC8454.htm

4. i did a spit take when i heard him say this..

While Kerry and many European governments contend that the war actually fuelled more terrorism, Bush contended that the U.S.-led coalition was confronting "terrorists and foreign fighters" in Iraq "so peaceful nations around the world will never have to face them within our own borders".

uhhhhhhhhhhh.. hey junior, did you mean to say their own borders?

6. Eng 101....Bush failed big time...he don't read books, he don't read PDBs

and he don't know shit. He thinks he does...but listen to the dude. he HAS TO CONVINCE HIMSELF before the crowd does. He cannot even believe himself when he sez all those talking points...because someone else thought of it and not him.

I would never buy food from this guy, much less a used car.

7. 30 out of 33 countries prefer Kerry

Last night on CNN, Christiane Amapour reported on a poll of 33 countries that were asked who they would prefer to win the election. Out of the 33, 30 preferred Kerry. Nobody likes the asshole. I can only remember 2 of the countries that preferred Bush....Phillipines and Poland. Wait a minute...Nigeria was the other one.
