Presidential Debates Set

Posted by pudge on Monday September 20, 2004 @06:57PM from the yaaaaay dept.

The debates are set, there will be four of them: Sept. 30, Oct. 8, and Oct. 13, and Oct. 5 for the VPs. All are at 9 p.m. Eastern. Get more details and read the memorandum of understanding (it is unreadable in Preview for me, I had to use Acrobat). There's not much different in here than in previous years. Says CNN: "A senior Kerry source said the Bush campaign was 'hung up' over whether a light or something audible like a buzzer would be used to tell the candidates when their time is up. A Bush official acknowledged that last-minute questions, mostly over the time cue issue, held up the agreement." In related news, it appears the first debate proposed by the truly nonpartisan Citizens' Debate Commission, scheduled for this Wednesday in Columbus, isn't going to happen.

A large part of a Politician's job is public speaking so I would expect him to at least sound like he knew what he was talking about.
And Bush does this all the time, its the gaffs you hear.
I also expect some knowledge of law
And what evidance do you have Bush has no knowledge of the law?
but hey I could be "misunderestimating" him.
Wow something he said once, and has been recycled over and over agin...
My question is why did you even bother to ask "is he dumb"> YOu obvioulsy are pretty sure he is. The reason I believe you asked is so you did not look like a partisan knee padder, try harder next time..
