CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) prepared and practiced on Saturday for the first of three presidential debates with rival John Kerry (news - web sites) that could be pivotal in the close election race.

Taking the weekend off from campaigning, Bush retreated to his secluded Texas ranch where White House spokesman Scott McClellan said he would be able to "clear his head" before Thursday's televised face-off.

Bush hopes to be able to "crystallize" his thoughts for the debate, McClellan said. "You obviously only have a limited amount of time to get your points across," he said.

The debate comes as rhetoric from the campaign trail ahead of the Nov. 2 election has become increasingly acrimonious, with Kerry skewering Bush's Iraq (news - web sites) policies and the president taking aim at the senator's fitness to serve as commander-in-chief.

1. "clear his head"?

Well that won't take long

[BootinUp]

13. AAACHHOOOO!

All done. lol.

[Catherine Vincent]

2. I doubt if Bush* knows how to crystallize his thoughts.

[punpirate]

5. Mineral matter is often...

... crystalline, so it fits right in with this guy's head. :P

[belle]

15. That would be the crystal meth he takes right before the debates start.

[Nimrod]

3. In other words

He's off to memorize his lines.

Here's hoping the prearranged questions get shuffled out of order. It would be fun to hear him give a clear, intelligent, thoughtful reponse regarding Iraq when the question was about gay marriage. :)

4. lots of gems in this story

limited time to get Bush's points across? His biggest problem will be coming up with enough filler to get through the two minutes.

9. Sounds as if Scotty

may be expecting a problem.

10. yeah clear his head

his head is already cleared of grey matter and as empty as ever it has been. He is retreating to Crawford to indulge in a weekend of drinking out of the public eye. He looks like crap. What on earth can he possibly be preparing for? He must know what the questions are already. Is that possible? Or is he memorizing the memes, the cliches and the platitudes that will not answer the question but he will spout anyhow as an answer, totally ignoring any questions? I think that is it.

11. Did he mean to say clear his head of crystal meth? eom

[Zorbet55]

12. Bush will use crystal meth

to crystalize his thoughts about the mess in Iraq.

[donco6]

14. What are you talking about?

Bush has creamed every opponent he's ever faced in a debate! The guy is an absolute, mesmerizing wizard! With his innate, natural ability and his clear grasp of world issues, I'm surprised he even needs to prepare at all.

Kerry has got to be panicking right about now.

[Zorbet55]

16. Shrub would panic if......................................................

he wasn't full of crack cocaine. K K K Karl get him some more meds. He's beginning to drivel again.

[donco6]

17. Wouldn't it be great

to see a total meltdown live? Wow. What an historic moment.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

18. Yes, the "George W. Bush Checkers / I Am Not A Crook" Speech

...one to share with the grandkids around a big ol' roarin' fireplace. Bring it awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn!

:evilgrin:

[Eurobabe]

19. Already freeped the comments with one of my

six yahoo names. HAHA!!

[Guaranteed]

20. Oooo...how about this-

Kerry AFTER the debate: "He smelled like he'd been drinking."

Eh? EH??? :P
