The White House and the NRCC are grasping at this straw like a drowning man after any stray twig that will keep him afloat. It takes the focus off of Iraq. Republican candidates in tight races are treating Chimpy like kryptonite, telling him to stay away. Why? One word...Iraq.
Kerry screwed up...again....plain and simple.
He is refusing to apologize...again...plain and simple.
He is blaming others for his fuck ups and throwing temper tantrums...again...plain and simple.
Kerry is showing everyone why he should never be President of this country...again...plain and simple.
Guess that explains why the Democrats are madder than hell at "sKerry" and are accusing him of putting the Democrats in a position of "grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory" AGAIN. If that doesn't ring a bell with you, guess you missed the Democrat talking heads on cable talk shows last night. Not one defended sKerry or tried to explain what he may have "intended" to say. They interpret sKerry's comments exactly the way the Republicans have and expressed their opinion that he should apologize.
As Stephanie has reminded us of Karl Rove's famous statement: Kerry is the gift that just keeps on giving and giving and giving........

Iraq is the misbegotten child of the Bush administration and the GOP controlled Congress. And they can no longer keep this monster locked in the closet. It weighs on every Republican congressional candidate who has rubber-stamped every decision regarding Iraq made by Chimpy and Co. It is even weighing on those who haven't.
Iraq is the real issue the White House and GOP are hiding from. And they will do anything to escape the consequences, both political and legal, of the decisions made in the run up to the war and after the invasion. So, just remember, this dust-up over Kerry's flubbed joke at Chimpy's expense is all the GOP has. They are morally and intellectually bankrupt, they can no longer defend their policies in Iraq, so they duck and cover with anything they can grasp.
It worked, didn't it. Iraq got knocked out of the headlines of the news cycle for two, now going on three days. Nuri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime-minister, ordered US troops to pack up their check points around Sadr City, these set up in an effort to find a US soldier kidnapped by insurgents. And the Shi'ite militias that support al-Maliki couldn't be happier, as they called this a "victory".
This got a brief blurb on the evening news, then disappeared under a hailstorm of phony indignation by Chimpy and Co over Kerry's gaff.
As for some of the candidates distancing themselves from Chimpy, ya got Lincoln Chaffee in Rhode Island, Bob Corker in Tennessee, Thomas Keane Jr in New Jersey, and John Hostettler from Indiana, among others. All are in tight races, and all have distanced themselves from Chimpy and his policies.
<blockquote>Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist says if Republican candidates want to succeed on Election Day, they should turn their focus away from the
Iraq war. - Bill Frist, 10/25/06</blockquote>
And thus are GOP candidates are trying to do, in droves. And this tempest in a teapot helped divert the attention from Iraq. But it keeps raising its bloody head every day, as more of our troops die and more Iraqi civilians lives are snuffed out, as Iraq descends into chaos. It overshadows and influences everything else. And given that some 80% of Americans think Chimpy's handling of the war to be excrable, doesn't the will of the people count in this matter? Or does it only count when the issue is something as inconsequential as same-gender unions?

[1]Kerry was fine while he was sticking to his guns. That didn't last long though. The other Dems panicked early and played into the Republican talking points, nice job idiots.
[2]As it stands now i'm sure Rove had a hard-on going for a few hours there.
[3]On the bright side for the Dems nobody has cared about Kerry for awhile now, so the fallout should be minimal.

Cheer when the United States is embarrassed by those they are trying to help, find something to celebrate, when a US soldier is kidnapped, and can't be found, declare victory along with international terrorist.
This one's for YOU..:finger:
