Eviscerated
I have to say, I used to get excited over sports. I used to sit on the edge of my seat, jumping at every near-goal, closely follow the seasons and tournaments..
But nothing got me as excited as watching John Kerry tear George W. Bush apart, piece by poisoned piece, using only facts and good argument.
There is no question that Kerry won this debate, but that goes without saying, Kerry's never lost a debate. Bush might have been able to wriggle out of incriminating himself against someone like Gore, but Kerry was simply relentless. Even when he looked like he was being soft, and polite and deferential to the office of the president, he was actually just being graceful about carving up this fraud that's been leading the US for the last 4 years.
The killer line: "George Bush is just offering us more of the same". Kerry doesn't normally do sound bytes well when he's just talking in a stump speech, people say he's too long-winded. But when he has a target in front of him, his old skills as a prosecutor comes out in full force. Kerr put away mafia bosses in hs old career, and goes about destroying Bush's credibility with exactly as much skill and finesse.
