Nerds boo as Bush sticks the landing

Sometimes the best political strategy is simply to stand still and allow yourself to be attacked by the wrong guy.

We are witness to such a phenomenon as George Bush--cheered, regaled and not-bad in his Top Gun duds--finds his form-fitting aviator pants leg in the clenched teeth of Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., playing the Taco Bell Chihuahua to Bush's Rin Tin Tin.

Enjoyed the sarcasm thread throughout the article. However, W as a "stud muffin" was hard to imagine. Granted he's attractive, but a "stud muffin?" On second thought, a military uniform does give a man sex appeal. Just add the Brut cologne and I'm drooling. Hubba, hubba!

[Splashing on some Brut]. Haha.

Great article BTTT. Thanks for posting.

I liked a couple of Jay Leno's jokes..."Actually Byrd would have liked to have been on the plane too, but they couldn't find a helmet that would fit over a Klan hood". The next night he made a joke about Byrd complaining because Bush looked better in a uniform than he does. "Well, look..." first showing Bush in a flight suit, then Byrd in Klan robes.

When Jay starts doing Klan jokes about Byrd on a regular basis, he's toast.

Agreed. I think it was LBJ who said "If I've lost Walter Cronkite, I've lost the country", and you can say the same for Leno and Letterman today.

I think this is called rope-a-dope. to use a passive/defensive posture allowing the opponent to waste his energy until he weakens then attacking

Actually -- the Dems would like nothing better.

Can you provide a link to the article? She is syndicated by a paper that is on the list we can only have excerpts from, so we had to pare it down to just a few lines and without a link people can't read the whole piece.

Try this one:

It's a Byrd, it's an S-3B Viking ... it's the Taco Bell dog!

The article was copied from the editorial page of the local paper, The Spokesman-Review. No, I don't have any links. Sorry!

[N. Theknow]

Actually, Senator Byrd can join Janet Reno as bartenders for James Bond martinis....shaken not stirred.
