From the Corner at NRO (personally, I vote for War):

KERRY THEMES [Tim Graham]
K-Lo, why must the candidates also use lame mainstream artists like U2 or Springsteen? I would suggest the following themes for Kerry:

1. Since I think he looks like Son of Fred Gwynne, I nominate the theme from "The Munsters."

2. Songs that express his sincere political beliefs about Vietnam being a pointless quagmire without a noble cause, like War ("Good God Y'all, what is good for? Absolutely nothing") by Edwin Starr. Or maybe the "Fixin' to Die Rag" by Country Joe and the Fish.

3. In honor of his devotion to the Widow Heinz, why not "Anticipation" by Carly Simon?

4. At least for tonight, he could have played "Kerry Me Back to Ol' Virginny."

TERRY'S TOY SOLDIERS [Tim Graham]
Today was the first day in a long time that I wished I was still hanging out in the White House briefing room as they harangued Scott McClellan on the bogus "AWOL" thing. Do these people know just how much they look like Terry MacAuliffe's toy soldiers? When the subject was Clinton and the draft, they all fell all over themselves about negative Republican campaigning. Once the roles change, they are the front-line troops of the negative Democratic campaign.

If I could have joined the questioning, I would have wanted to ask, "Scott, do you feel that Mike McCurry and Joe Lockhart watch these things and laugh their heads off? McCurry could come out and tell reporters that he's made it his policy to learn nothing about what the President has done, so he doesn't have to lie to anyone, and everybody here bought that."
