Rising Hegemon
DeDurkheim and Attaturk did real time blogging last night...so the context is tough. But here are some real time reactions, edited down to reduce boredom.
9/30/04: 7:58 p.m. EST.
Attaturk says:
Hello DeDurkheim
DeDurkheim says:
Heya Attaturk
DeDurkheim says:
So, are you prepared for an amazing and exciting debate on the issues that will affect this country for years to come
Attaturk says:
Welcome Ladies, Gentlemen, nerds et al, to the Rising Hegemon Debate Blog...whooped die shit!
Attaturk says:
Yes, I'm all a tingle watching Jim Lehrer count things down on the C-Span.
DeDurkheim says:
Here we will analyze, debate, and argue over the smallest detail of heights of the podiums
Attaturk says:
8:59 p.m. Ladies and Gentlemen and on C-Span we are watching Jim Lehrer's back...riveting!
DeDurkheim says:
They seems like something out of 2001. The movie, not the year that is
Attaturk says:
Bush is the Starchild of course.
Attaturk says:
2001 and one changed everything.
Attaturk says:
30 Seconds Jim says, go for main engine sequence start....
Attaturk says:
9:01 p.m. Eastern, we have a report that FoxNews has declared Bush the winner.
DeDurkheim says:
Wow, Jim looks good. Just do not stare into his eyes... the horror, oh the horror
Attaturk says:
He looks a little ORANGE to me personally.
Attaturk says:
OH, the crowd goes wild...and Kerry gets close enough to look much much bigger. Kerry 1 and Bush 0.
Attaturk says:
Bush looks like fucking Dukakis!
DeDurkheim says:
Wait, Bush is scratching his ear... now he is scratching his nose... and now, oh my God! He is adjusting himself on camera. Attaturk! Did you see that!
Attaturk says:
Hey, a man's gotta itch and get himself a jump start.
DeDurkheim says:
The only thing I can respect from Chimpy
Attaturk says:
Bush is doing the nose wrinkle. Like he is Tabitha on bewitched.
Attaturk says:
Is it me but does Kerry look like a giant?
Attaturk says:
And Bush...dare I say it has a strong ORANGE hue.
Attaturk says:
People know where I stand, Bush says. Yes, about 1 foot below Kerry.
Attaturk says:
I must say those lights on the podiums have me wondering if the debate shouldn't be like Captain Pike in that one Star Trek episode and they can just beep lights for yes or no.
DeDurkheim says:
Kerry sure looks relaxed and in control
Attaturk says:
So far this debate is all substance, and substance is good for Kerry.
DeDurkheim says:
Bush also keeps swallowing? Is he going to hurl?
Attaturk says:
Bush will respond on the importance of KILLING and Blowing Shit up now.
Attaturk says:
God, Bush looks guiltier than shit at Big John's denunciation...like a fricking maching-gun Kerry's ticking them off all the fuckups and crimes.
DeDurkheim says:
You have that right
DeDurkheim says:
Here we go, Bush on Iraq... I did the right thing, no matter what people think, no matter how many people are hurt, no matter if there is no good intelligence... I did the right thing
Attaturk says:
Blow shit up, blow shit up, blow shit up, blow shit up...for PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAACE
DeDurkheim says:
Peace through death?
Attaturk says:
Bush says we are capable of both fighting in Iraq and getting bin Laden simultaneously. Capabile of doing both? WTF? That must be why it is going so fucking swimingly in Iraq and why we cannot find bin Laden.
DeDurkheim says:
But Iraq does not have WMDs, North Korea and Iran do
Attaturk says:
..............faux pas...Saddam Hussein....ah, I mean Osama.
Attaturk says:
Bush is claiming IRAQ is central to war on Terra. No shit, ex post facto warmongerer.
DeDurkheim says:
Iraq was somewhere behind invading Costa Rica... or was it luxembourg
DeDurkheim says:
Bush looks ill
Attaturk says:
Kerry is in full Prosecutor Mode.
Attaturk says:
Bush is blinking up a storm. And that smirk is affixed to him like he's had a stroke.
DeDurkheim says:
Blinks must be his way of communicating with Rove... two blinks = uh oh
DeDurkheim says:
He is trying hard not to smirk but it is fighting its way out
Attaturk says:
Bush is downcast as Kerry criticizes the energy companies Bush loves..."hey lay off my buddies scarecrow."
DeDurkheim says:
Nevermind that you promised us that the Patriot Act provisions would sunset, you want a police state, you wank
Attaturk says:
I'm busy after I get up and roll Pickles offa me. I meet Mueller all the time...so there...
Attaturk says:
Bush's answers are so base and simple. I imagine the whores are lappin' it up.
Attaturk says:
Oh man, Bush is going to get smoked on this 100,000 trained iraqi's figure.
Attaturk says:
Bush, insurgents are ALL terrorists.
DeDurkheim says:
Iraqis perform alright. A new play written by wolfy and rummy, 'Tanks for the war memories'
Attaturk says:
Oh man the Daddy card.
Attaturk says:
Kerry's been reading the Blogs.
DeDurkheim says:
I think you are right Atta
Attaturk says:
Whiny Bush.
DeDurkheim says:
Ha! I tried so hard... so hard not to go to war... but I had to avenge Daddy, get us some oil, and bitchslap Saddam.
Attaturk says:
Oh, Bush kissing the ass of the Allies who cannot stand him.
Attaturk says:
Right wing radio tommorrow praises Bush for remembering Poland. Huzzah Chimpski!
DeDurkheim says:
It is hard work trying to talk like this without a beer in my hand
Attaturk says:
It's Hard Work not working, and he sees stuff on the Tee Vee.
Attaturk says:
I agree. No beer makes me sad.
DeDurkheim says:
Or hears it from Blue Babies Rush
Attaturk says:
Glad I'm not playing the "Smirk" drinking game.
DeDurkheim says:
No TV, no beer, make Chimpy go crazy
DeDurkheim says:
GOP does not care about the truth... its all about emotions and neocon belief
DeDurkheim says:
Like yummy pretzels
DeDurkheim says:
Me like me some prezels...ah... wait... cough cough...
Attaturk says:
If Bush ROLLS his eyes any more they may spin off his face.
Attaturk says:
By the way, all hail the 200 Poles out of 160,000 troops, thankski.
Attaturk says:
Who is Bush demanding to Finish from, waiving his finger like Kruschev.
DeDurkheim says:
smirk
DeDurkheim says:
where's the shoe?...
DeDurkheim says:
I will change Iraq, I will keeeel the eviiiil dooooers!
DeDurkheim says:
I care... I care... I care... I care... Damn it... I care!
Attaturk says:
Bush tells the story of a dead soldier, yes, I care. "Love her the Best that I can", WTF?
DeDurkheim says:
Emote EMOTE EMOTIONS FEEL THE SUFFERING... SUPPORT THE TROOPS = SUPPORT FOR ME!!!!
Attaturk says:
I went to that victim and "I loved her the best that I can". Ooooooooookkkaaaaaaaaaaaay. I thought that was the job of OB-GYNs
Attaturk says:
Kerry pulls out the "I know what the cost of human lives is in combat."
DeDurkheim says:
Bushy can't touch that
Attaturk says:
Not to confuse the War with the Warriors. Great line
Attaturk says:
Bush actually looks ashamed when Kerry talks.
Attaturk says:
This "wrong war, wrong time, wrong place" thing is apparently the new Black for the Republicans.
DeDurkheim says:
Kerry is doing a masterful job, where as Bush keeps ascerting that Kerry is constantly changing his mind, when he has no proof of it
DeDurkheim says:
Powell quoting a Thomas Friedman... the pottery barn rule
Attaturk says:
Exactly DeDurkheim, exactly.
Attaturk says:
Powell also admitted that Iraq is a clusterfuck (in so many ways).
DeDurkheim says:
The dumb leading the blind, making fun of the naked... Bush's ideas are scattershot here tonight
Attaturk says:
They are hard work, they are hard, ....its hard to debate...very hard work to debate. You have to understand, it's hard work.
DeDurkheim says:
Hey, so is it hard work? I am still confused about that.
Attaturk says:
I'd like to remind everyone again that this President thing is hard work, very hard, its hard you know.
DeDurkheim says:
So, has Chimpy watched some porno or something... he keep repeating the word hard. I wonder if his old frat brothers are laughing right now?
Attaturk says:
Bush is right, Allawi isn't Bush's puppet, like Bush he is Cheney's puppet.
Attaturk says:
Porn is hard, it's hard, porn is very very hard.
DeDurkheim says:
I want to be free, its good to be free, its freeing to be free... but it can also be hard
Attaturk says:
Freedom is hard by the way, just in case you forget.
DeDurkheim says:
or is it freedom is fighting us?
Attaturk says:
You know it is really hard to have freedom fighting us for our freedom.
Attaturk says:
We had to go to war with Saddam, because Rueing is hard, very hard.
Attaturk says:
And meaning what you say and not sending mixed messages is hard work, very hard.
Attaturk says:
Yeh, he knows Osama attacked us. Because forgetting that would be hard, it would be hard work to do that, very hard.
DeDurkheim says:
Saddam did not attack us, but we needed to strike him anyway?
DeDurkheim says:
TRAP
Attaturk says:
Oh, oh, still another half hour and Bush is out of water.
Attaturk says:
Chimpy is "confused", that's shocking.
Attaturk says:
Chimpy plays the neanderthal card with the international courts matter.
Attaturk says:
Durn fourners and their damn demands for human rights.
DeDurkheim says:
They are evil trial lawyers and overreaching judges...
Attaturk says:
Making the wrong decisions is hard, very hard work.
Attaturk says:
Oh man the slaughter of names continues. Say DeDurkheim, when does Bush start playing with the ball-bearings in his hand?
DeDurkheim says:
I think he is doing that already.
Attaturk says:
Oh man it is painful when Bush's head-squirrel stops running and he has to pause.
DeDurkheim says:
Oh, the pauses are when he has to stop and listen to the lines that are being fed to him
DeDurkheim says:
It really is a major difference here-- Kerry thinks, Bush um... does not
Attaturk says:
Bush thinks he's a fucking genius admitting that Korea has enriched uranium.
DeDurkheim says:
speechifying is hard, its really hard to speechify, speeching is hard hard work
DeDurkheim says:
What? There is war and more war... anything else is too hard
DeDurkheim says:
He seems lost with some audience laughter for his jokes
Attaturk says:
This "mixed message" thing again. I guess it makes it hard to do something.
DeDurkheim says:
mixed messages always send mixed messages... like Bush... we can't win... oh yeah we will win
Attaturk says:
How is Bush qualified to know how a yo-yo works, let alone the fucking world?
DeDurkheim says:
And here is the I-am-resolute BS
DeDurkheim says:
Nuclear material is running loose all over
DeDurkheim says:
Kerry has got some great credentials on this issue
Attaturk says:
Kerry writes Books, Bush...looks at ESPN the Magazine.
Attaturk says:
Good for Kerry taking a stand on not blowing shit up.
DeDurkheim says:
Blow shit up not always good, now here we will here that not blowing shit up is hard, real hard
DeDurkheim says:
Ah, debate coach said not to mention word Nuke-lear
Attaturk says:
the AQ Khan thing certainly gives Kerry something to go after Bush on.
Attaturk says:
Star Fucking Wars...
DeDurkheim says:
If I may say so, Kerry is kicking serious debate ass here
Attaturk says:
Bush calling any thing a mistake is silly, but at least its a substantive debate issue.
DeDurkheim says:
Pooty-poot
Attaturk says:
Looking into someone's soul is hard work Jim, its hard, very very hard.
Attaturk says:
Pooty is a ally on the war on terra.
DeDurkheim says:
centralizing power... like creating a department of homeland security or going after the Miranda rules, or broadening police state power with the Patriot act... hmmmm...
DeDurkheim says:
Me and Vlad pals
Attaturk says:
I've got a good relationship with "Vlad-oh-mur"
Attaturk says:
They're Bros, Peeps, Homies
Attaturk says:
If this debate went two hours, Bush would be answering questions like Captain Pike.
Attaturk says:
Blinky, blinky, blinky. Bush's body language isn't strong, its weak and uncertain.
Attaturk says:
...I'm a calm guy...
Attaturk says:
Too bad Chimpy gets the last word.
DeDurkheim says:
Can't help him... Kerry has simply been masterful here... it is powerful how much better Kerry has been in this debate.
DeDurkheim says:
Funny how Kerry really reaches out past the camera
Attaturk says:
Nice of Bush to barely acknowledge "Senator" while speaking into his chest.
DeDurkheim says:
Has he been drinking or something?
DeDurkheim says:
hard work again is hard work
Attaturk says:
Climbing mountains is hard, its hard, very very hard.
DeDurkheim says:
Valley of Peace? What is that a new show to come on Fox?
Attaturk says:
The Valley of Peace is hard, very very hard.
DeDurkheim says:
Kerry even remembered to smile
Attaturk says:
Yes, as objective people with no dog in this fight whatsoever, Kerry won.
DeDurkheim says:
Bush brought the girls
DeDurkheim says:
I wonder if they have been drinking?
Attaturk says:
How could the girls NOT want to go and drink in Miami.
Attaturk says:
Pickles and Teresa coordinated.
DeDurkheim says:
Kerry is so smooth... even joking with the Bush girls
DeDurkheim says:
That did seem strange
DeDurkheim says:
Kerry getting a lot of yells at the end
DeDurkheim says:
So, Kerry won hands down, right?
Attaturk says:
Oh, yes.
