Just happened to tune in ... it's like Jimmy Stewart showed up ... stuttering, deer in the headlights, avoiding the questions.

I think he's having an emotional meltdown.

The presidency must be getting to him ... just like with us.

The man has always been an idiot.

I take comfort in knowing that I never voted for him.

Leaving aside personal opinion about the president, he has never been known as a gifted orator. At times he can be good enough, but extemporaneous speaking is not his strong suit by any means.

No other man in presidential history can talk so much without ever actually saying anything.

See, this is like asking was Bubba always a womanizer and an adulterer?

We knew it when we elected him and we knew of Dubya's difficulty with public speaking and pronunciation when we elected him.

Oh, but we did. You voted and he got elected - we elected him. That is the way our government works. You may not have voted for him and we elected him.

I love hearing my mother talk about Bush. She voted for him and even worked on his campaign.

She bitches about him all of the time now.

Yes, he's always done poorly, but despite eight years of experience, he's apparently getting worse at it.

I have seen comments made in gossip columns that he might be drinking again.

The job is enough to make anyone drink.

YES! That's what I find amazing! He never learns!

Oh wait, we didn't either ...

Actually, wasn't he elected once and appointed once?

I'm just saying...

Just imagine if the Supreme Court had gone the other way, after all, Gore did win the popular vote.

How many people would still be alive? The people in the Twin Towers? The soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan? Innocent Iraqi civilians caught in the crossfire?

To their families it made have made a huge difference.

Depends if in 2027 Iraq is a terrorist sanctuary and Tel Aviv is a radioactive hole from an Iranian nuke ...

Or, how many more of us would be dead? To our families it would make a huge difference. We simply do not know what the alternative consequences would have been.

I sometimes listen to Bush and shake my head. Then I remember the other candidates, and think, "Oh. Never mind."

1. He made his father's term of office look not so bad.

To answer Appa's question, I imagine it will be much as it is today: the vast majority of folks convinced that those who think Gore won are just a bunch of discontented whiners.

Serious students of history, however, may very well ferret out the serious voting irregularities in Florida and Ohio. The consensus may even be, among scholars, that the election of 2000 went the wrong way.

Ridiculous, you say? Check out the election of 1876 for parallels, right down to Florida being the crucial state.

I think the Sept. 11 attacks would have happened, no matter who was in office. Unless G.W. Bush had died suddenly upon taking office. Then there would be two smoking, glowing devastated areas where Baghdad and Tehran used to be.
