Jesus God, that was ugly. Kerry was poised, articulate, and got right to the point. Bush hemmed, hawed, hesitated, eye rolled, smirked, sighed and stared blankly so much he looked like an unholy genetic crossing between Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and a sewing circle at a retirement home for the terminally befuddled.
And let's not forget the line of the night "But what about Poland?" (or something like that)

nice jab...Kerry kicked his butt respectibly...I also watched the post game wrap up..they talked about how much taller and stronger Kerry looked because of the camera angle..they had to give the same amount of headroom to both candidates which meant yousaw much more of the podium with Bush and much more of Kerry with Kerry cause..well he has that enormous head (my words not theirs) but effectively it made Kerry appear much more proportionate and pleasing to the eye..and made George look like a very small hunched over man...also Kerry Dressed better..the colors he chose (gee, can we tell I am a designer) looked good both on him and on camera and against the lighter backround he stood in front of...Bush looked very wahsed out I thought...so nto only did he sound better...he looked better...i liked too that he took notes..paid attention..and smiled and shook his head to affirm things..i did NOT like how Bush kept interrupting him though...it was like watching a case of Judge Judy..."there are rules you must follow, you will get your turn to speak sir"
