Bush: No Global Test
Fri, Oct 1, 2004 at 11:59:42 am PDT
Outside the artificial restrictions of the “presidential debate” sideshow, President Bush responds to John “Global Test” Kerry: “The president’s job is not to take an international poll. The president’s job is to defend America,” Bush said a day after his first debate with Kerry. “The use of troops to defend America must ...

Kerry: Big in France
Fri, Oct 1, 2004 at 10:18:58 am PDT
John Kerry’s “global test” line was a big hit in Europe. Especially in France. Whatever the early verdicts were, one thing was clear: the debate attracted a lot of viewers overseas. In Europe, many people had to stay up past 4 a.m. to see the whole debate, and it was not even ...

The Rathergate-Haileygate Connection
Fri, Oct 1, 2004 at 9:49:34 am PDT
Guess who was counting on the fraudulent analysis of the Killian memos by Utah State professor David Hailey? CBS producer Mary Mapes. CBS News didn’t return calls for comment, and Mapes declined to discuss Hodges’ charges. “I can’t, I just can’t,” she says. But she did forward a study by Utah State ...

Al-Zawahri Calls for Global Jihad
Fri, Oct 1, 2004 at 9:18:49 am PDT
We haven’t heard from Osama bin Laden in a very long time. This is, of course, because he joined the Choir Invisible at the end of 2001 in Tora Bora. But his jihad buddy Ayman al-Zawahri seems to still be consuming oxygen, and he’s calling for a war of civilizations. John Kerry ...

Lileks on Fire
Fri, Oct 1, 2004 at 8:30:27 am PDT
James Lileks screeds like a man possessed: Two consecutive boring days. And another thing: the idea of a summit with the Muslim world doesn’t particularly billow my sails, either. So Osama is using our invasion of Iraq to recruit new troops? First of all, you know this how? We have a tape ...

You Don't Need A Staged Debate To See the Future
Fri, Oct 1, 2004 at 7:58:54 am PDT
Isn’t it a little silly to talk about who “won” the presidential debate? Let’s face it; there was nothing to win. What we saw last night was a prime time variety show, with no resemblance at all to a real debate. The candidates were specifically prohibited from engaging directly with ...
