Fred Barnes, 9/6/03:

BARNES: ... they were -- (UNINTELLIGIBLE), rebuild America, what are they talking about, rebuild America then?

REP. DENNIS KUCINICH (D-OH), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Ahora es el tiempo de bover nuestros soldados de Iraq (ph).


DEAN: Deron pro llamos se seguro Americo para tos, los ninos, ninos de dias y ocho agnose dilladan (ph).


SEN. JOSEPH LIEBERMAN (D-CT), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Muchos palabres pocas obras (ph).

BARNES: (UNINTELLIGIBLE), I hope they tell, try to do rap singing when they're at this debate next week before the Congressional Black Caucus. OK.
