Since I actually stayed up to watch the debate between US president and Senator John Kerry, I have decided to share my favorite line.

“I just know how this world works.”

I leave it up to you who stated that… you’re right: the nude guy.

Kerry was no Jed Bartlet tonight, but I think it is hard to claim that Bush had any substantial message simply because he managed to drop a foreign leader’s name here and there and insisted adamantly that not mentioning mistakes is the smart thing to do, in order not to hurt the feelings of those who are busy dealing with their consequences in Falludja. Actually, that was the answer he gave to almost every question.

By the way, does anyone beside me find it even remotely strange that three German channels broadcast this debate live while only two at a time broadcast the debates between Chancellor Schroeder and his challenger Edmund Stoiber in 2002?

Update by David:

I liveblogged the whole thing over at Europundit. Short version: Kerry won.
