66-6

Did you get a Permission Slip for that War ?

My take on the Presidential Debate last night; it was a football game. Kerry played mostly offense, while Bush was mostly on defense. You need the ball to score. Kerry threw incomplete passes and a couple of interceptions but Bush didn't score with them. The President drove to the goal line several times, but only kicked feild goals.

Democrats thought that Kerry won because he didn't get slaughtered. Plus he looked good in his uniform. Republicans thought Bush won because he did what he had to do. But it wasn't pretty. Everyone else should think that they played to a tie, the way the NFL used to 20 years ago. So we have to wait until the next time they meet to settle the score.

The couple of interceptions Kerry threw were his pronouncements that the US (1) pass a global test to go to war, and (2) has had the historic right to preemptive strike especially during the Cold War. Say what? The President should have run these statements back for touchdowns, but like alot of verteran defensive backs who see the end zone before they catch the ball; they never quite get there.

Bill Cosby used to do a comedy routine about the Hosftra University football team. They would routinely lose 66-0. One game they lost 66-6. The Hofstra fans went crazy. They thought they had won.
