Hey, did you hear that? Kitty Dukakis burned a flag at an antiwar demonstration.
What REALLY pisses off Dem "spokesmen/strategist" types
like Estrich and other agents of spin and talking points is the very obvious fact that the Bush Administration has resolutely refused to play the hardball/dirty tricks angle like Atwater did for Bush 41 and Nixon's team(s) did for him throughout his political career ---this has left them at such a loss what to do that they plow straight ahead and blame the Administration for all kinds of stuff ANYWAY. More than anything, they hate Bush & Co. for depriving them of this . They know full well that the Bush Administration did not engineer the Swift Boat Vets , but they have no choice but PRETEND to be OUTRAGED by it and DEMAND that Bush call off his attack dogs. Really, I thought I'd seen everything with 8 years of Clintonism, but it just gets uglier and more transparently pathetic with every passing day of the Kerry campaign.
