Somebody must have told Shrub that Clinton was going to get to say mean things. Either that, or they told him he wouldn't get to wear the radio system he used in all the debates.

Actually, I also heard rumors that security was going to be a huge and expensive concern.

I'm betting on the fact that they simply weren't offered enough money. Neither one seems to have any misgivings about selling their time to the highest bidder. Sorry but its true.

I think W' views Big Dog as a reliable partner. As I said in the first thread on this subject, Clinton should stop propping up this entire family (Poppy included). Maybe Bill is finally down with that, but I doubt it?

Bush should be happy building that monument to himself at SMU. A place where he'll be the hero in his own story.
His days in public should be over. Not even his own party cares what he says about anything.

Totally unsurprising.

When I first saw the headlines about the 'debate' I thought it was a dream come true. Like a headline from Family Guy.
