DNC Video: Exaggeration – Funny! But the reality is that the video takes George W. Bush slightly out of context.

Let me just steal an entry I found at Airbag today.

This is the one, most disturbing lie I caught last night:

KERRY — Six months after he said Osama bin Laden must be caught dead or alive, this president was asked, “Where is Osama bin Laden?” He said, “I don’t know. I don’t really think about him very much. I’m not that concerned.”

BUSH — Gosh, I just don’t think I ever said I’m not worried about Osama bin Laden. It’s kind of one of those exaggerations.

What? Hold the phone Shrub, even I remember this one and I’m sure your crack communications team almost passed out when you said it.

As I say, we haven’t heard much from [Bin Laden]. And I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don’t know where he is. I — I’ll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.

President Bush — Whitehouse Press Conference, March 13th 2002

Salon.com analyzed last night’s presidential debates in an article entitled It’s the IQ, stupid.

John Kerry didn’t destroy George W. Bush in the presidential debate Thursday night. John Kerry didn’t turn water into wine, and he might not have turned any red states blue. But for 90 minutes, John Kerry put George W. Bush on the defensive. For 90 minutes, John Kerry looked like he could be president. And for the moment — for the moment — a race that once seemed lost suddenly seems alive again.

John Kerry won.
