Wow. Like the writer said, "Answers like that make President Bush sound like Shakespeare."

This quote from Kerry was UFB:

"If we hadn't voted the way we voted, we would not have been able to have a chance of going to the United Nations and stopping the president, in effect, who already had the votes and who was obviously asking serious questions about whether or not the Congress was going to be there to enforce the effort to create a threat."

I did like the quadruple negative, too:

"I've never not seen a presidential race during which people are not speculating about people who are not in the field."

Seems like a good time to post this link to "Politics and the English Language", written by George Orwell in 1946:
