If there was anything out there, you can bet Ma Richards would have found it and used it.
You can be sure of one thing though: this is now a fight to the death; it's no longer politics; it's blood sport.
Yes, they are that desperate; and they'll lie to try to get the White House back.
Quite a stretch, even for 60 Minutes, but the left will recycle it. I don't think it will sell. Too many families have too many relatives who chose the NG over regular army.
Ma Richards?
What about Gore slime with Chris Lehane.
They were desperate in 2000 when it would have mattered to find someone credible on the "cocaine" charge or the paid abortion charge.
They come very close right now with a personal attack from the 70's like that to completely obiliterating their chances in the Senate and House because all the Bush campaign has to do is ask:
What is this line of questioning going to do to protect your family and children in America from terrorism.
Right now Kerry is in a box. Rove drew him out last night and he made a complete fool of himself starting with his opening comment about how far back the Red Sox were.
It would be one thing if Kerry had a line about the Red Sox in every speech he'd given since April.
However, this line again displays to Joe Six-Pack who will never sit in the box seats at Fenway how elitist he really is.
I'm beginning to wonder if "Ohio football in Michigan" and "Lambert field" don't have more to do with lagging poll numbers than the Swifties do.
Ma couldn't very well do the drinking thing since she and Molly Ivins drink breakfast together every morning.
Both are well-known drunks.
This is all just BS.
We knew this was coming. So let's prepare, get the facts straight, and flank people like Dan Rather.
How do we do this? Once we have the facts, in this case those surrounding this Texas fellow, Barnes, we 'get the word out' on the coming attack by illustrating any falsehoods, distortions, and inconsistencies the 60 Minute or whatever story hit-pieces.
For starters, Dan Rather has his 'own' web site. Ratherbiased.com. It is chock full of factual evidence of Rather's bias. I use it often to make a point that the media is not to be trusted.
Another idea: just like Alamo Girl's great 'legacy' pages, we need something along that line to build perspective and context around President Bush and John Kerry.
Big Anne would have sold all her grandchildren to get anything on Dubya. And yes, the Dems want the White House back so desperately, and a scary percentage of them really hate GWB.
Of course, Republicans really wanted Clinton out in 1996, but there's a real difference because Democrats play dirty far better than any other American political party. Still, it's hard to imagine anything on Dubya that they wouldn't have used by now, and fabricating something could backfire all over them.
Yes, it is going to start, I heard CNN last night before the speech bring up Barnes and you can bet that after 60mins we will hear a least a week of stories about barnes and National Guard. Kerry last night went after Cheney about Vietnam and Bush. Kinda like Zell, can't refute what he says, so he's a racist
If they can't find anything you know they'll make something up.
