We were watching the debate this week between Bush and Kerry… in case you missed it, Kerry won.
Again.
There was a point in the debate where Kerry said, “I led the fight to put 100,000 cops on the streets of America.”
To this, The Lady Janet made the suggestion, “Wouldn’t they be better off in police cars?”
(And you wonder why I love this woman?)
I want to thank Anonymous for making me more aware of this tendency to answer a direct question with a sometimes wholly unrelated agenda item. And you’re right, they both do it.
“What’s my position on unemployment? Well, let me just tell you about No Child Left Behind.”
I didn’t see the first debate. I did see the second one though and I’ve gotta tell ya I think it was pretty darn even. In any case, it seemed to me that both candidates consistently failed to stay focused on the questions that had actually been asked, choosing instead to further their own agendas of taking shots at one another. I guess that’s what either will do when elected as well. It’s a joke.
