Don't know about you, but after intently watching last night's debate, I was bushed. Apparently, the small screen wears the president out as well, as evidenced by this item from the Center for American Progress:
WATCHING TELEVISION IS HARD WORK: The New York Times reports Bush was "unnerved" by Kerry's reference to his personal military service. "Mr. Kerry repeatedly referred to his first-hand experience sending men into battle in Vietnam," leading the president to repeat that "he understood that fighting was hard work and added, 'I see on the TV screens how hard it is.'"
