Dick 'toe suckin' Morris explains why Bush sucked at the debate.
"He simply knew too much".

ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!!!!


Bush’s debate handicap: He simply knew too much

If President Bush had not clearly won the three debates in 2000 against so formidable a debater as Al Gore, one would be tempted to chalk up last week’s inept performance to an innate lack of verbal skills. But Bush’s forensic abilities were so amply on display four years ago that their disappearance last week is all the more puzzling.

The fault, one suspects, lies with the candidate’s advisers and coaches, who clearly were not up to the task of preparing the president for the debates. It is a much more difficult task to prep a president than to get a challenger in shape to debate well. The president has a clear disadvantage: He knows too much.

A challenger knows little more than his briefing book. Immersed in the issues only as he prepares for the confrontation, he has no trouble putting his ideas into words, since he does not know the nuance and subtlety that a president does about the issue under discussion.

But a president is sometimes muscle-bound and can’t handle the arguments nimbly and articulately. He is blinded by knowing everything. When Kerry mentions Korea, for example, Bush probably recalls a thousand details that have been raised at a hundred meetings about how to deal with the reclusive and sullen regime.

Morris is as delusional about Chimpy as Chimpy is about
the situation in Iraq.

2. Mr. Responsibility sucked because of his advisors and coaches
It couldn't possibly be because of his gaping shortcomings as a person/thinker/leader.

Keep covering and shoverling, Dick. You'll get out of that hole yet!

3. Toe sucking?
please enlighten me on that?

But, yes, that was my thought exactly - Bush is just too damn smart for us mere mortals. I'm sure we all got that impression here, no?

6. He's fond of having hookers suck his toes
Edited on Wed Oct-06-04 12:17 PM by fishface
or vise versa..."Morris engineered the transformation of the once-progressive Democratic Party into a Republican-lite beer commercial. Morris resigned recently after his predilection for sucking hooker's toes was revealed first in the Star and then in theNew York Times."

4. That's why Cheney has evidence of Iraq's ties with 9/11 that we don't
Edited on Wed Oct-06-04 12:14 PM by Mountainman
have. There is so much they know that we don't know, only it is all in their heads and not real. But the freepers know it also.

5. Bush has lots of communication problems but knowing too much isn't one.
Dick Morris's 15 minutes were up 5 years ago.

10. Morris is nothing more than a craven opportunist
I doubt he has any credibility left in the political world. FAUX can have him.

13. So this isn't satire?
I'm not familiar with this guy or this site, but while I was reading it I thought it has to be something like The Onion. From the rest of the reactions here, I guess not, huh? Yikes.

21. This pervert is living in a dream world

Morris, being a serial fetishist, has an unhealthy obsession with women's feet. Ick. He lives in a fantasy world where Bush is some sort of idyllic savior.

Maybe he wants to suck Laura's toes and thinks praising Chimpy will earn him a night in the Lincoln bedroom, where he can sneak a peek at Laura's footwear collection.

This pervert is loopy.....
