I don't see where Kaplan's coming from. How does the Tenet departure show that Bush's fortunes are declining?

[jwfiv]

Just another rant'n rave from the Delusional Left.

Buncha dern goofballs.

When drivel like this is posted we're supposed to add (Barf Alert) to the title.

It is called SPIN.......LEFIST SPIN.....any story EVEN IF positive (like the economy) can be spun whatever way you desire. Look for the clouds and you can find them. And of course the press/media is sure to take the NEGATIVE SLANT against conservatives at every turn.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

THIS STORY IS JUST WISHFUL THINKING!

[plain talk]

What did I miss? "The VP is being accused of malfeasance, at best"? For what may I ask?

[OldFriend]

LOL.......someone's gotten into the crack cocaine over at slate.

Bookmark this to post again after Bush defeats Kerry and all comers in a landslide in November!

[Spok]

IMO, Bush's biggest blunder since getting elected was not immediately canning all the riff raff left over from the Clinton era.

[swheats]

Kaplan seems to be about to pop the cork on the champagn bottle. The hangover's gonna be a real beatch.

[fish hawk]

I will put this article with a bunch more I have of Bush losing and failing. When he wins in a landslide in the coming election, I will take them out and laugh my A$$ off.

[kevao]

Actually, Kaplan, what's soaring is Bush's prospects. Iraq? Looking better. The economy? Wow!

[cksharks]

This idiot is as dumb as a box of rocks. Where do they get these stupids?

[TexasCajun]

Did everyone notice how many 'Rats mugged for the camera in defense of Mr. Tenet? ...the Clinton appointee!

"The walls haven't collapsed around George W. Bush, but the pillars are buckling, the floorboards are rattling, the inspectors are probing, and it doesn't look good. In the White House and the Pentagon, senior officials face the prospect of criminal charges. The vice president is accused of malfeasance, at best. A key erstwhile ally in the war on terrorism has apparently turned against us in an act of criminal perfidy. And now the nation's spymaster has turned in his cloak—it's not yet clear whether he jumped or got pushed; either way, Bush's risk-rating has just soared."

Only the Kool-Aid drinking Dems could convince themselves that bringing in Giuliani would be a disaster for President Bush...

[Helms]

These folks have entered Alice's Looking Glass. Must be
written for the Party Faithful inhabiting a parallel universe.

[The Wizard]

where do these assholes come from

[no_problema]

i was talking to a clinton-kool aid person today, and he didn't know squat about the clintons. he hates bush. he believes that the dems are for po' folks!

[Tax Government]

It's a shame to see a company that prides itself on intelligence (Microsoft), own and support such a nonsensical outfit as Slate.

[Roy Tucker]

Wishful thinking on Kaplan's part. Given the recent conclusions of the 9/11 Commission report, the American people will not turn over their national security to John Kerry who never met a defense program he liked. Kerry's chief foreign policy advisor has just had to resign ignominiously because he was caught stealing classfied material. The Democrats are not serious about national security, proved it in the 1990s and have demonstrated continuously since 9/11.

Bush will win comfortably.
