Hope your reputation was worth it, Brinkley.
You may have noticed I have a few flaws, too. People sometimes have to correct my English -- I knew I had a problem when Arnold Schwarzenegger started doing it. Some folks look at me and see a certain swagger, which in Texas is called "walking." Now and then I come across as a little too blunt -- and for that we can all thank the white-haired lady sitting right up there.So, what are they going to talk about? His mis-speaks? His cockiness? His blountness?
Bush detonated several personal attacks on himself. This is a humility that most Americans find endearing
What then? The National Guard issue? Ok. Already handled and, just for arguements sake, in the "missing year", Bush accumulated 56 service points...only 50 service points are required to be considered satisfactory.
What then? He wasn't brave enough, wasn't heroic enough? Uh, ok....even President Bush says that.
What then? A DUI charge from 30 years ago? Been there, done that, won the last election.
What then? Bush has bad hair? Well, not according to the Wuhl grooming survey.
What then? He didn't have good grades at Yale? Well, no one wants to talk about it, but neither did Kerry. By virtue of the fact that 1) we haven't heard gobs and gobs about how "smart" Kerry is (like we did all through the 2000 election with Al "I flunked out of Divinity School" Gore) and 2) that he went to Boston College Law School, which isn't the best Law school in the northeastern portion of the country.
What then? Come on? I guess they will have to stick to the "misled the American people" line? Ok. Well, that has been refuted by the Senate panel, the 9/11 commission, common sense, Lord Butler's report, etc, etc., etc.
They got nothing. They got no programs. They got no plans, (not even the secret variety). They have no game.
That no-good, drunken driving, awol, baby killing, war mongering, dumb, blood for oil spillin president needs to stop smearing John Kerry with his mean spirited Swift Boats. Why, I wasn't even there, but I know, it's seared in me, that Kerry is telling the truth and the 254 Swift Vets are all liars! Did I mention John Kerry was in Vietnam? I did? Well don't question us about it; you smear our patriotism.
End :::DNC mouthpiece voice:::
Brinkley was on MSNBC last night before Kerry's midnight insanity display, doing his best to try & prop Kerry up and sustain his own pathetic legacy.
Just like the NYT played six degrees of separation of the Swift Boats vets to the Bush Campaign. Are they going to play the one degree of separation of this Barnes fellow to the Kerry campaign? Inquiring minds want to know. Or is that news that the NYT deems not 'fit to print'.
No? Say it isin't so.
Where has this Brinkley fellow been for the last 4 years, on Mars?
