And let's not forget the Dem's last stunt in Crawford a year ago. Kerry sent Max Cleland to Bush's ranch to deliver a letter asking him to denounce the Swift Boat Vets. OK, Cleland isn't dead, but a triple-amputee war "hero" is the next best thing to elicit sympathy. Shameful exploitation.
And if you don't know why I put "hero" in quotes, you need to go find Ann Coulter's article on the truth about Max Cleland's injuries.
In recognition of Bill Clinton, it should be called the politics of sticking out your lower lip.
