The first round of the US presidential debates focused on foreign policy, with particular emphasis on the war on terrorism. As you can imagine, Bush tried to portray Kerry as the "flip flop", tree hugging Democrat afraid of his own shadow (yup, that describes him quite well), and Kerry painted a picture of Bush as the gun-toting Texan, macho man who shoots first, thinks later, and doesn't bother to ask any questions (well, at least the right ones) -- spot on description too.
If i were an American, i would be even more confused about who to vote for now. Both have shown me that their opponent is an idiot, just different types of idiots. Thank God we don't have that problem in Malaysia; no debates between the leaders here to allow for them to confront and expose each other on national television.
UPDATE: An absolutely hilarious commentary on the debate by Jessi Klein, a notable NYC stand-up comedian.
