didn't manage to catch the debates? don't want to appear out of touch? then make your way to hard working george for a one minute video summary!

and...

the debate that might have been:


9:02 - Reading of the rules.

9:25 - Reading of the rules complete, the first question goes to President Bush: What's that rectangular box on your back under your jacket? President Bush stares off into the distance, as if listening to something no one else can hear, before begining his reply, "Forget it. Ignore the question. Go into your opening. Bob, I'd just like to thank you and the good people of the state of Arizona..."

9:45 - Senator Kerry, in reply to a question regarding his healthcare plan, points out that he understands healthcare because he was in Vietnam. "When you're under fire," Kerry says, "you think a lot about your healthcare coverage. And as an officer, I thought a lot about the healthcare coverage of my men."

8:52 - President Bush makes fart noises under his arm.

9:06 - Kerry points a finger at President Bush and says as if expecting a big laugh, "There's nothing conservative about your conservation policy." Waits for the laugh, which does not come. President Bush cuts in: "There's nothing conservative about my fiscal policy either," he says, "but I'm still giving money to rich people as fast as we can shovel it into the trucks." He shrieks suddenly and grabs his left ear as if in pain. "Ow! Dammit Karl..." Suddenly realizes he's talking to no one in clear sight of the audience. He tries to cover: "I was just making a...a joke. I do that a lot 'cause I'm folksy."
