skerry, skerry, stuff.

I see that our French Poodle is excited at the thought of watching his little pony perform tonight:

[They'reGone2000]

BWB,

Days and threads ago you asked me about the Dr. Phil interview with the Bushies.

I thought they did a great job...Phil kept politics out of it and the genuinely good humans (and parents) they are shone through. There are a couple of clips here and Phil's opinions about the interviews.

A reminder, the disfunctionally blended Heinz-Kerry "family" will be featured on Dr. Phil tomorrow (Wednesday).

[mountaineer]

I can't help but believe Cheney can - and will - destroy the Silk Pony.

[daisyscarlett]

The Silky Pony got rode hard and put away wet tonight...hee hee...

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Doofus watched from a hotel room in Colorado where Lurch is preparing for Friday night...

Lord, what big feet this man has..

Meanwhile, this is what a loving couple looks like..

[mountaineer]

I don't think it's just wishful thinking to say that Cheney eviscerated Johnny E. last night. Silky kept trying desperately to get in every slogan or talking point he had jotted on his cuff (e.g., they could have stood up for Americans but they stood up for drug companies, or whatever that nonsense was at the end of the debate), no matter how irrelevant to the question Ifill asked. I loved it when Big Time said that even after 3-1/2 years as president of the Senate, he'd never met Edwards until last night. It also made me laugh when, at the end, Edwards tried to hoist both kids (to show himself as young and vigorous, I suppose) and almost fell over.

In other news:

MARTHA Stewart will get her first taste of prison life with a humiliating strip search — including a nude squat-and-cough in front of a female guard, jailhouse sources said. All new inmates to the Alderson, W. Va., prison known as Camp Cupcake get the same exam, done by a guard wearing latex gloves. To prove they're not hiding contraband, the jailbirds must lift their breasts, crouch low with their legs spread and cough. "They also make you hold your arms out and look in your mouth and under your tongue," a recently released inmate told The Post's Brad Hamilton. Stewart must report to the prison by Friday to begin her five-month stint for lying about an insider stock sale. (Page Six)

Ewwww.

[BigWaveBetty]

Thank you TG, and I won't forget to watch Dr. Phil today!

Loving Kerry the colorful poodle!

[mountaineer]

Poll at NY Daily News re who won the debate last night. Edwards way ahead - the libs are up early this morning!

[BigWaveBetty]

I don't think it's just wishful thinking to say that Cheney eviscerated Johnny E. last night.

Yea! I fell asleep at about 8:30 last night and missed everything! Guess I'll wander over to cspan and watch the video.

[BigWaveBetty]

Added my vote for Cheney.

Oh no! Rodney Dangerfield has died. Bummer. May he rest in peace.

[mountaineer]

CBS reports on all the inaccuracies and "bloopers" committed by both Cheney and Edwards, surprisingly, here.

In honor of Rodney Dangerfield: I went to my doctor. He said, "You're very sick." I said I wanted a second opinion. He said, "Okay, you're ugly, too."

[R. Scott]

Our “esteemed” MSM is following in the footsteps of their Great Icon – the spokesman and chief propagandist for the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam and the Viet Nam Cong San – Walter Cronkite.
It is what journalism students are taught. It is what producers and editors expect.

[mountaineer]

Hi, remember me? I'm still here, still working behind the scenes with my sockpuppet Terry McAuliffe, still pretending to support Kerry's campaign. Of course, the VRWC still is working against me. *sigh* Must I always be persecuted by those evil Republicans?

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration's Justice Department [Notice the AP spin - it's the Bush Administration's Justice Dept., so the investigation clearly is politically motivated] is trying to secure the cooperation of an indicted businessman as it pursues Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2000 Senate campaign for possible fund-raising violations, according to interviews and documents. The FBI has told a U.S. magistrate in Los Angeles it has evidence the former first lady's campaign deliberately understated its fund-raising costs so it would have more money to spend on elections. Prosecutors contend that businessman Peter Paul made donations because he wanted a pardon from Mrs. Clinton's husband. ... rest of story

Watching President Bush's major policy speech? I think the strategery has just kicked into high gear. :-)

LOL!

A thorough investigation of Teresa's financial records would turn up a 'Thongs R Us' store.

[BigWaveBetty]

He's such a regular guy with his white socks and sneakers, except he sits like a girl. And what's up with the pillows? Don't most people place their pillows with the stripes vertically?

Certainly that's not the room he slept in last night, it must be staff accomidations.

Kerry apparently leads Bush in pre-debate poll

Senator's approval rating highest since January

	The poll came out ahead of Thursday's first presidential debate.

(CNN) -- Headed into their first face-to-face debate, Sen. John Kerry appears to be leading President Bush among fradulently registered voters, with a clearer edge among illegal aliens.

The CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll shows that among fradulently registered voters, Kerry was the choice of 92 percent, while Bush was the choice of 5 percent and independent Ralph Nader garnered 3 percent. That result was within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

In the broader category of uninformed voters, 83 percent supported Kerry; 10 percent, Bush; and 7 percent, Nader. That question had with the same margin of error.

The poll was taken from Friday through Sunday, at the end of a week in which Kerry ratcheted up his flip-flops on Bush's Iraq policy.

On Thursday, the two men will debate in Miami, Florida, home to thousands of illegal Haitians, Cubans and South American immigrants.

Reached for comment, Robert Cox ofThe National Debate said, "this entire survey is a joke, a very bad joke in very poor taste".

Although the poll showed Americans divided almost evenly over whether they approve of the president's Iraq policy, 55 percent said it was not a mistake to stay home and watch Sabado Gigante instead of going out on Saturday night, compared with 42 percent who thought Christina is better than Oprah.

An astounding majority, 93 percent, said they would support Bush if he gave them free cars and bricks of gold.

Democrats attributed their strong poll numbers to an aggressive drive to circumvent state and federal election laws.

Asked which man would better handle the situation in Iraq, 15 percent said Bush and 11 percent said Kerry and 74 percent "no habla ingles". Two months ago, they were tied on that question.

The poll also showed Bush's job approval rating at 54 percent -- the highest since January -- and it found increased public approval for the president's handling of the economy, terrorism, the situation in Iraq and his willingness to do his own yard work.

Among felons, 9 percent also said they believe Kerry would lead the country in the wrong direction, compared with 88 percent who thought he would lead it in the right direction. But 4 percent of felons thought Bush would take America in the right direction; 96 percent thought he would move the country in the wrong direction.

In the prisoner poll, Kerry got higher marks than Bush on improving the chow line, more cable TV channels and leniency for escape attempts.

And asked which man would better handle relations with other Mexico, Bush -- charged by his critics with alienating the world community through unilateralism -- beat his Democratic challenger by a 52 percent to 44 percent margin.

Although half of those polled said the outcome of the election would have no effect on whether they were able to cross the border illegally, 31 percent said they think chances of their getting caught would be increased if Bush were re-elected. Only 16 percent said they thought the chances of their getting caught would be reduced if Kerry was elected.

A survey of deceased voters last week in Chicago showed similar Kerry strength. Among voters dead for more than five years, 78 percent supported Kerry, 9 percent supporter Bush. In a surprise Ralph Nader showed suprising strength among voters dead less than five years.
