Slurp, Drool...Slurp!...Yum.
You may now consider the Democratic Convention an unqualified success:0 comments
President George W. Bush is beginning to run on his record.
Yes, friends, you read that right.
NYTimes: Citing His Success in Policy, Bush Re-enters Fray
After watching close to $100 million Republican being spent on a barrage of ads that simply and repeatedly said, "John Kerry is Satan!" with the occasional, "Laura bakes great cookies!" mixed in, a thoroughly underwhelmed America is being treated to the unthinkable: that the B/C04 campaign would actually be drawn into allowing anyone to focus on the "accomplishments" of Bush's record from these last four years.
I'll happily discuss these "accomplishments" in future posts.
What you see here is Karl Rove allowing someone in the GOP hierarchy to paint a very large target on the back of Feckless Leader.
I grow faint.
Happily, B/C04 has also brought Kerry's 19-yr. Senate career into play. Fine.
That means that Bush's One-and-a-Quarter Term as Texas governor (his only public position/job before becoming president) is back in play, as are his ongoing failures in operating any company more involved than a Kool-Aid stand, without running it into the ground and needing a bail-out from his dad's well-heeled friends. Of course, this means his sterling and courageous military record during wartime also comes back into play.
No prob'. We can go there.
I'll return to Bush's gubernatorial record in future posts.
For now, Democrats will be more than delighted to talk about what has happened over the last four years.
As well as the last 35 years.
With specifics, instead of spiffy sloganeering.
Be still, my heart.
I do believe Karl Rove needs a vacation.
