But in a telephone interview from Texas, where he is a trial attorney, O'Neill made it clear he still harbors resentment at the way Kerry accused veterans of atrocities.

"The primary reason I got involved was I thought the charges of war crimes were irresponsible and wrong," O'Neill said. "I thought they did a real disservice to all the people that were there. I thought they were immoral."

The bitterness remains. Asked whether he agrees with the view of some observers that Kerry was forever altered by the war, O'Neill responded: "The war didn't change [Kerry]. I think he was a guy driven tremendously by ambition. I think he was that way before he went and is that way today."

I've been pretty positive about November -- until today. It's beginning to look like the fix is in. If so, Bush is in deep trouble, and Rove, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Baker, et al, had better come up with a sharper game plan fast.

C-Span shows a 30-year-old tape of Dick Cavett and we're all excited. Meanwhile, every network on TV is blasting the Administration from all sides and very little rebuttal gets through.

If I see that tear-stained, lying, zombie weasel, Clarke one more time after his 14 appearances on TV today, I'll retch. He's wired, rehearsed, and even seems to know the question before it's asked. Spielberg couldn't have cast the part any better.

And all Rice gets on "60 Minutes" is a perfunctory blurb between commercials, half of which was taken up by more tape of Clarke!

When Clarke told Russert this morning he's a card-carrying Republican, BUT HE VOTED FOR GORE IN 2000, insult was added to injury. This guy has been a mole from day one.

It looks like the script is to get Bush to do all the dirty work to put American forces on the ground in the Middle East. Then dump him lest he gets carried away and actually believes there's a real chance for a conservative, Judeo-Christian government.

The U.S. has a Republican President, House, Senate, a majority on the Supreme Court, AND STILL BUSH IS TAKING ALL THIS HEAT! Why did a Republican Congress okay these hearings in the first place?

But the final blow was hearing the babbling newscasters insist gasoline prices will be $3/gallon this summer!

If that happens, we can kiss the White House goodbye. Gone are the promises of $1/gallon gas. Instead, Bush will be seen as a money-grubbing oilman, responsible for the country's financial mess, while some oil executive somewhere is ROTFLHAO.

The Republicans must go on the offensive ASAP. Or else President Bush is going to be the first U.S. Commander in Chief to have won TWO wars in as many years and still lost reelection!
