BTW you can see the difference between the two candidates by their initial reaction to the emergence of the tape.
Kerry took it as an opportunity to campaign for himself saying "I believe I can run a more effective war on terror than George Bush''
Whereas Bush was gracious to his opponant - simply saying "America will not be intimidated or influenced by an enemy of this country. I am sure Senator Kerry agrees with that"
Classy
Lest anyone be laboring under the laughable misconception that George W. Bush is a "classy" campaigner (Jesus, that's hilarious 
), Josh Marshall will be posting some material soon that details what happens at Bush/Cheney rallies before the press shows up.
Oh yeah, it's really classy, such as:
Later we'll also be discussing what they say about Kerry and Edwards at those Bush rallies before they let the travelling press in room. Today in Florida, Kerry the favorite of foreign terrorists. Or 'When the terrorists come to your house, who would you rather have on your front porch: John Kerry and his SNOWBOARD??? Or George W. Bush and his shotgun?' Or on a lighter note, jokes hinting that Kerry and Edwards are gay lovers. That, and so much more.
Assholes.

Bin Laden's whining about how tough his job is lately...
[Edited on Oct 31, 2004 by stockula]
...sounds somewhat less pathetic when compared to Bush's whining during the first debate, when he used the "phrase" hard work 13 times despite spending over 40 percent of his presidency on vacation. 
The presidency is a 24/7 job. He is NEVER "on vacation" as those reports like to keep saying. Those figures also include his weekend "time off". Are you on vacation every time its your day off? Are you on vacation right after you punch that time clock and go home? Get real, please. 
Whether or not he happens to fit in a few visits with his pals like Russian dictator Vladimir Putin when he's in Crawford, in between fundraisers and carefully staged photo ops out on the ranch, the fact is that he isn't in Washington dealing with the bulk of the responsibilities that he assumed when he had himself appointed president. I don't know where you're getting this stuff about weekends - as I understand it, the report is referring to the amount of time that he has spent either at one of several vacation spots or in transit to one of these spots. When I punch the time clock and go home for the weekend, I don't generally hop into a waiting helicopter or jumbo jet and fly off somewhere. But that's just me...

"When he had himself appointed president"? Now I know to stop talking to you because you have had almmost 4 years to figure that one out and you are still getting it wrong.

LOL, please. Bush is "president" now by virtue of the fact that he had a 5-4 Republican majority on the supreme court, and a brother in the Florida governor's office who was willing to conspire with the Florida SS (Bush's state campaign manager) to suppress thousands of African-American votes. Nice redirect, by the way...
