Bush pulls a Swift one

He has Kerry caught in a dilemma on soft-money attack ads

Everybody knows President Bush is a bass fisherman. But the President has spent most of August reeling in a more exotic specimen: the Giant New England Slack-Jaw. Years from now, when tales of the catch are told around GOP campfires, small boys will marvel at how the supposedly intelligent Kerryfish swallowed Bush's bait, hook, line and sinker.

Slack-jaw season started in January, when John Kerry won the Iowa caucuses.........

Inflate the belly boats. Pop the tops. Get the grill good and hot. Keep the faith, FReepers. BUSHmaster is in town.

When I catch a Dim witted slackjaw, I cut them up for bait.

...If the senator cuts off his billionaire backers, he suffocates. If he sticks with Soros, et al., he's stuck with the Swifties, too. That's a hook Kerry can wriggle on until Nov. 2. Then Bush will throw him back.

The 43rd President is often said by his critics to be a dunce. Maybe. But in politics, as in fishing, you don't have to be a genius. You just have to be smarter than the fish.

Perfect.

Someone emailed this article to me earlier.

It is such an absolutely perfect analogy.
