The Falling Scales

Paul Krugman's take on the post debate perception of GWB:
"most: viewers were shocked by the contrast between Mr. Bush's manufactured image as a strong, resolute leader and his whiny, petulant behavior in the debate. But Mr. Bush would have lost even more badly if post-debate coverage had focused on substance......Bush's record on homeland security ought to be considered a scandal. Yet, not only is it not a scandal, it's not even a story."

And another blogger's take of Bush's pounding on the "global test" malarky:
"After you wiped the floor with "W" in the first debate, it is of absolute no surprise that he came out swinging with oversimplified catch-phrases, which his minions then repeat ad-infinitum.....As you well know, the newest catch-phrase is the "global test" that your supposed doctrine would adhere to before taking any action overseas...... I'm not really surprised that he's against a global test... [jokingly] some say he was never very good at tests."
