Georgie's Debate Evolution

It's clear that the American electorate doesn't know from one day to the next which George W. Bush will show up on our television screens. For those who have been trying to follow the inconsistencies of George "Jekyll & Hyde" Bush I offer the following guide to the many faces of "Debate George" (not to be confused with "War George", "Golf George", "Liar George", "Fearmonger George", "Orwellian George", "Mistake Free Messiah George", or "Coward George").

Debate Logistics:
Debate #1
September 30, 2004
Coral Gables, FL
Debate #2
October 8, 2004
St. Louis, MO
Debate #3
October 13, 2004
Tempe, AZ
George's Demeanor:
Uncontrollable grimaces and facial contortions
Angry and aggressive
We don't know

And neither does he
Memorable Moment:
Despite (or because of?) all his "hard work" George almost falls asleep during last half-hour
Stay Tuned
Memorable Image:
Nickname:
Grimace George
"Who the fuck knows what I'm liable to say or do" George

As George Bush so eloquently noted during the second debate:
It's -- you've got to be consistent when you're the president. There's a lot of pressures. And you've got to be firm and consistent.
Indeed. So we wait and wonder. With great faith in Our Leader's consistent ability to bemuse and embarass us we wonder, "Which fictional character will George try to be in Debate #3?"

Who will George try to be when he goes to Tempe?

Might I humbly suggest that he try to be...presidential?
