Eh... I was half right about the debate

So here we are, the day after the first debate, and the media is going absolutely gaga over how Kerry "performed" last night - as though this were some dance recital, and not a contest of who will lead the free world for the next 4 years. Most of my predictions fell into line, but I was way off the mark with my prediction that a national suicide watch for liberals would begin today.

Perhaps I gave the Dems more credit than they deserved. Suicide is only an option for someone resigned to their fate, those who have finally grasped reality and resolve to a sollution. The libs in this country have no such grasp on reality, and still clutch at the straws of denial. How else do you explain Joe Lockhart on EVERY talk show today saying this debate was "about the smirk". About the smirk? It wasn't about global Jihad, the war in Iraq, militant Islam, and the creeping erosion of Western Civilization? "This debate was about the smirk"? You poor contemptible fool.

Kerry won on style - so what, he's got better hair too. How does that translate into stable foriegn policy that will keep this country safe? Next week, when everyone has forgotten everything Kerry said - and all that was said of his performance by his shills in the press, the race will come down to principle. Kerry can have Bush on style, Bush owns Kerry on principle.

Like John Kerry to world leaders, the media cries out to voters: "Please, come join us in this great diversion!"
