"Ditch bungling" At a glance I thought that was some kind of British slang for something George Michael might be caught doing.

I can see it already. When the Dems don't completely stomp the Pubs like the press has been saying they will, they will now be free to blame it ALL on John Kerry rather than admitting that they have been stumping for the Dems all along with absolutely no real basis for their call for a Dem landslide.

What's funny is the dems also stampeded over themselves to ditch Joe Lieberman, their Vice Presidential candidate in 2000.

So a perception of being anti military gets you thrown under the bus and a perception of being pro military gets you thrown under the bus. Apparently, the cardinal sin of Democrat politics is even acknowledging the existence of the United States Military.

"President Bush said last night that he wanted Dick Cheney, the Vice-President, and Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, to remain in his Administration until the end of his term."

I do not know who asked the question that prompted this answer.

What I do know is that the answer is incorrect.

VP Cheney is elected to 4 years, just like the President. It is not the President's discretion to fire the VP, a separate political office.

SecDef is totally different as the SecDef serves at the pleasure of the POTUS.

The POTUS should have said that VP Cheney was elected by the Republic and serves the Republic. SecDef serves at his pleasure and will continue to do so. EOM!

First they ditched Gore, then Lieberman, now Kerry. One wonders if Edwards will likewise join the Democratic unmentionables along with McGovern (who wasn't even invited to the 2004 Dem convention in his home state!) and Dukakis?!


Oh, and Gary Hart. And Mondale.

I remember during the 2004 election how the Dems lavished praise on Kerry over and over again for being a polished and smooth speaker. Remember the run-up to the debates? Kerry was going to wipe the floor with Bush. He is such a good debater compared to the bumbling Bush. He is soooo nuanced! Remember that?

Now all of a sudden Kerry is an awkward speaker! His words just get in the way of his genius.

So which is it? I don't think it was an attempt at a joke. I do think Kerry is a polished politician and speaker. This was not a mistake; he was trying to encourage these college kids to get good grades, otherwise their only choice would be the military (to his thinking).

Am listening to John O'Neill now on the Great One.

JFnK yesterday thought he was showing how tough he will be the next time the Swifties come after him.

It wasn't the Swifties that came after him this time, it was Americans saying JSTFU JFnK.

PS JFnK, I'll show you my DD214 if you show me yours!

...and then seized upon by the White House, which has been desperate to switch the focus of voters away from the mounting toll of death and destruction in Iraq before Tuesday’s crucial elections for control of Congress.

This kills me. The newspapers can't stick to reporting the news, they feel compelled to insert their own opinions and commentary into every article. Unbiased my a$$!

chicken-hawk signing in, MI. I served in the USAF and never saw battle. However, the things I did averted battle. So I guess I'm a chicken-hawk/hawk when it really comes down to it.l

Oooh boy, Lurch has really stepped into it now.

Heh heh.
