The Kerrys are on Dr. Phil Today!

John and Teresa Kerry are on Dr. Phil today, check it out!

I wonder if Dr. Phil will bring up teenage oral sex with them? (That's the only part of the Dubya interview I would have liked to have seen ;-)

Quotes from Dr. Phil after the interview:

    "I expected to be very impressed with John Kerry and I was very impressed with John Kerry. I think he's got a calmness about him. I think he has this kind of sense of a strong but gentle spirit."
    " I didn't know much about Teresa, except what I had seen in the media. I didn't have a negative opinion of her; I just had one set of expectations and I thought she was completely different. I knew I would be impressed with her. She is very funny. She's very warm. She's very engaging and a very wise woman. I thought they were a powerfully normal couple."

Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Cheney - VP Debates

I wish I was perkier tonight, I'm on meds for a really bad UTI and it's been making me groggy...

Sparky and I watched the boardroom meeting from Hell tonight (shudder). If Dubya is the Anti-Christ then Cheney is obviously Satan. He just reeks evil... he can't even raise his head to look people in the eye. What's with these guys? They have terrible posture, Cheney was sitting there slumped over with no neck like Jabba the Hut, lashing out like a lizard to hiss at Edwards, ignoring any questions or comments he deemed unimportant.

Even our cat felt the evil in the air, she was going bonkers while we were watching TV, just freaking out, bouncing off the walls and attacking things. Animals can sense things, you know...

Cheney looks just like the last big corporate jerk I worked for, he creeps me out. The few boardroom meetings I had to attend were exercises in staying awake, in the big vacu-sealed, over air-conditioned, shadowy boardroom where the walls seem to absorb all the sound... in space, no one can hear you scream... sorry, I digress...

I actually dozed off twice tonight, Cheney has that corporate hypnotism chanting thing down pat. It's impossible to pay attention to what he's saying. He started to bare his fangs early in the debate, but then he went back to his dead poker face. Several times they also showed some behind shots of the interviewer leaning back in her chair staring at Cheney like he had horns growing out of his head. And I swear to God he slipped in at least two more Armageddon threats tonight.

OK, it should be painfully obvious to everyone now who is really running the country... I am looking forward to Friday night, it supposed to be a town hall format. Hopefully there won't be too many Neocon plants in the audience. I wonder if they allow applause will there be boos also? I just want to see the baffled look on Dubya's face when he doesn't get the pep rally reception he's used to.

The Washington Post has a good article on the debate and FactCheck.org has the reality breakdown. As a David vs. Goliath match, I thought David showed amazing courage and got quite a few blows in.
