Ghost of a flea

Didn't you get the feeling that the Bushites hunted high and low through nursing homes to find the insane man they put on stage last night? I think the only body blow would occur if he tripped and pushed Kerry off the state. He's a nutbar for heavens sake. I think he, however, was Churchillian too, more than Jacksonian. Actually it was like the Lord was personally on the TV.

I think we are all being too wishy washy about these comparisons these days. I swear the Lake out the window started to part when I switched the channels past the speeches. As this election is the most important event in human history and indeed since we all were one-celled organisms in a rock pool, I am certain these comparisons are all apt. Yup, I am sure.

state=stage. I hate when I am more cleverer than I am a good speler.

Of course he's insane. 1) We of course KNOW that the US is the ONLY warmaking power in a peaceful world.
2) He disagrees with a recognized "progressive" policy stance, therefore he is ipso facto insane.

No, you can disagree, hold opposing positions and be lucid but if someone reports seeing patriots actually downing skuds safely you have to start wondering what is in the water glass.

Alan: was it the debate about Patriot missile stats that lead you to doubt Senator Miller's sanity? Or was it the delivery? I suspect for most people it would be the latter. I had a rather different reaction to it but I can see how it might be polarizing.

By contrast, what worried me was the way Wolf Blitzer, et al. were so clearly operating on the basis of Democrat campaign war office rebuttals (they admitted as much this morning on CNN). Even the pretence of impartiality was lost. Worse still was Senator McCain condemning Miller for questioning Senator Kerry's patriotism even though Miller had explicitly not done so.

It really is the speech but only as an example of how twisted the entire campaign has become. Facts have become so devalued that their refutation is all that is happening. There is no doubt that the entire exercise is solely aimed at impugning the reputation of Kerry but it is done in such a tawdry way. Cheney once again misquoting on the word "sensitive" and beating it as a drum over and over. There is no thought behind it, just slander. And then the media and the Democrats engage in response at the same level. It is all so surreal.
