Be Like Dean
Michael Novak sez:
Republicans say he has to do X. The whole press says he is stupid for not doing X. Still, Bush refuses. And refuses. And refuses. Then, after everybody else has spoken, Bush suddenly says, O.K., we'll do X. Then, with the attention of the whole world upon him, and with everybody committed to X, he steps forward and goes right through the hole the attackers opened up for him. He does X, and knocks them dead.I'm pleased to see that such well-known figures as Novak are reading Dean's World.In football, this play is called the mousetrap. The guard pulls out and moves toward the end, and the opposing players rush in on the attack. Suddenly the ball is handed off to a runner heading right for the spot the attackers had just vacated.

This is the President's favorite play. When everybody says he is wrong--I mean, everybody--he finally shrugs, and says, OK. Then he does exactly what he intended to do anyway, but now by totally popular demand, and with everybody paying attention.

I don't think it always follows this MO.
If Condi doesn't testify, Americans will think Bush did a good job fighting terrorism. If Condi does testify, she will demonstrate exactly how they did a good job and this will help Bush. Bush has an excellent team and a great record, and the more the dims focus on an aspect of his presidency, the better he looks. He can hardly lose, no matter what they do.
Yes, but this way, Condi's testimony gets a lot more attention.
Unless she muffs it. Think she will?
FYI, that's MICHAEL Novak, not Robert Novak.
Ooops. Fixed!
You're outta your damn mind, Dean: this is the beginning of the end for the smirking chimp Bu$hitler and his corrupt clique of corporate polluters.
Clarke's testimony last week proved beyond all doubt that Bush had dropped the ball on terrorism and before 9/11 had CANCELLED ALL OF CLINTON'S AGGRESSIVE ANTI-TERRORISM PROGRAMS.
And when "Condaskeeza" Rice testifies, she'll be FORCED to produce those emails PROVING that Dickhead Chainy's first reaction on 9/11, EVEN BEFORE THE SECOND TOWER CAME CRASHING DOWN, was to call a meeting to find ways that HALLIBURTON could profit from the attacks.
These people are toast. They are HISTORY.
And you and your rope-a-dope theories are... ARRRRGH!!! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!
VOTE FOR KERRY!!!
I'm not thinking like Dean if it means I have to read backwards and become PC even for one day.
Happy April Fool's Day!
Dave D,
Are you serious or is this an April 1 thing?
Given that it's Dave D, I'd say an April 1 thing.
"Are you serious...?"
On solemn anniversaries like this, we are called upon to reflect on the words of a great and wise man:
"Life is too important to be taken seriously."
