THE NUANCE OF NUISANCE John Kerry stops at the water's edge Mark Steyn INSTANT DEBATE REACTION 1) Bob Schieffer is a terrible moderator: The questions are so much worse and so much more pompous than those from audience members last week. That lame-o "poverty" question is a classic: It's fair enough to talk about poverty, but the assumption that the way to lessen poverty is to increase the minimum wage is reflexive leftie laziness. 2) "Do you believe homosexuality is a choice?" Do you believe choosing dumb questions is a choice or socially conditioned by 73 years in the CBS newsroom? 3) I'm beginning to reckon this weird obsession by Kerry-Edwards on bringing up Dick Cheney's gay daughter every time can't be anything other than a covert pitch for the bigot vote. You can almost feel their frustration that it's a cute looking lesbian and not some queeny guy. Leave other people's kids out of it. Bush doesn't bring up Kerry's daughter wearing a see-through dress to the Cannes Film Festival and oilily profess how much he admires they way they still love her even though she showed her breasts to the entire world. 4) I'm kinda debated out. Has either side got anything it really wants to debate with the other? On most issues, we've nothing to say. On others - illegal immigration - both sides are full of it. If we're going to have stilted fake contests, the third round should have been WWF. 5) Kerry: "That's how you gain legitimacy with your own country people." Country people? Friends, Romans, country people, lend me your tin ears. 6) Bob Schieffer: "The three of us are all married to strong women." Maybe next time yours could moderate the debate. 7) Memo to Kerry: When you're asked about your wife, don't talk about your mother. And isn't there something weird about your mother on her deathbed feeling the need to remind you about integrity? VERDICT: BUSH: If he'd been like this in the first debate, we'd be in 42-state blowout territory.
