Segments form the 32 page Kerry/Bush Debate contract!
quote......
" Each candidate may move about in a predesignated area . . . and may not leave that area while debate is underway, " says the agreement, evoking images of Al Gore approaching Bush -- much to the then-Texas governor's surprise -- during the 2000 campaign. " The chairs will be swivel chairs that can be locked in place and shall be of equal height, " it adds, a concern of the Bush campaign as the 6-foot president faces off against the 6-foot-4-inch Massachusetts senator.

Has anyone been able to get the entire 32 pages yet?

7. So... Bush lies about his height. What a gutless, insecure little "man"

Here is one entry;

http://www.usatoday.com/news/bushdocs/1-Enlistment_Packet.pdf
Go to page 8 of 33 - Height = 5ft 11-1/2"

Go to page 18 of 33 and see this entry: Marital Status = S-O
S-O? Significant Other?

Then there's this doc where height is now classified!


I'm looking but there is one other document out there where height is listed and I recall it lists Ht as 5' 11-1/4

Kerry Height = 75"

12. Sometimes he's "taller..."
Like when he's taking nosecandy...

...or weed

Dream about a reefer, five feet long,
Mighty immense but not too strong.
You'll be high, but not for long
If you're a viper.

I'm the king of everything,
I gotta be high before I can swing.
Light a "tea" and let it be
If you're a viper.

When your throat gets dry
And you know you're high,
Everything is dandy.
Truck on down to the candy store
Blow your top on peppermint candy.

Then you'll now your body's sent
You won't care if you don't pay rent
The sky is high, and so am I
If you're a viper.

5. Bush is NOT 6 foot and one of the rules is they can't increase height
in false ways. in 2000 bush wore shoes with padding to make him appear taller than he is.

9. Crazy stuff! Thanks for posting. :)
I love the way the candidates may not pose questions to each others, but ARE permitted to pose rhetorical questions! And... they're not allowed to call on one another to pledge themselves to doing this or that. Weird!
