The man could not even out debate George Bush.

Here’s a perfect example. Anyone who knows anything about debate will tell you that Al mopped the floor with that idiot Bush, who’d have been disqualified and thrown out of a real debate the first time he interrupted Gore. (interrupting your opponent is a BIG no-no in competitive debate – you get your chance to rebut when it’s your turn, not before)

But thanks to the lying anatomyparts in the media, “everybody” knows that Bush won. Well, everybody except for actual debaters.
