"Reaching for yet another strained metaphor, Senator Kennedy said that "This whole war on terrorism business is Georges Bush's Chappaquiddick. This President should roll down the window of the sinking Oldsmobile of Iraq, wriggle out, and swim to safety while he still has the chance. Yes, even if it means the loss of Mary Jo, or in the case of the Iraqi people 26 million Mary Jo's, he must act in such a way as to preserve his own political viability. I am confident that Americans will be just as understanding of Georges as were the local authorities of me on that fateful day lo these many years ago."
Oh, that's eery! I had not read your post, or heard anyone else say that. It's just what I thought as I listened yesterday to his actual comments yesterday, that Bush should, immediately after the vote, set a timeline for withdrawal. I was surprised no one else made the connection!
Now we know at least two did!

LPC, yes you (and I'm sure a million others) had the idea, but BibChr marketed it more effectively, as has been done here. I gasped at the headline and had to click. I mean, admit it, the guy "sold" the headline. He thought enough of the idea to package it and promote it, *gasp* as its own thread!
Like an artist that thinks enough of his work to pay for a decent frame.
