My favorite debate moments:
--When AlGoreNosferatu, invaded W's space;
--The sighing and rolling his eyes;
--Mr. Blue Sweatyshirt night;
--Lockbox;
--and, my favorite exchange of all:
GORE [to Bush]: If I’m president, the first bill I will send to Congress is the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill. And the reasons it’s that important is that all of the issues like prescription drugs for seniors that is opposed by the drug companies, will be easier to pass if we limit the influence of special interests.
BUSH: I am not going to lay down my arms in the middle of a campaign for somebody who has got no credibility on the issue. I would support an effort to ban corporate soft money & labor union soft money. I believe there needs to be instant disclosure on the Internet as to who’s given to whom.
GORE: You have attacked my character and credibility and I am not going to respond in kind. One serious problem is that our system of government is being undermined by too much influence coming from special interest money. BUSH: I want people to hear what he just said. He is for full public financing of congressional elections. I’m absolutely, adamantly opposed to that.
LOl! Mr. Al Gore dances between playing Nosferatu.. and then a smarmy french Count, flailing away with his white glove. And Dubya returned with a sucker punch. Yepppo, we gots real time Indiana Jones' in our time and in our midst.
