Birthday bash
Democrats are planning to bash President Bush on his upcoming 58th birthday. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's online operation sent an e-mail to supporters this week, telling them to compose simple, three-line haiku poems about Mr. Bush, who the DCCC refers to as "the GOP's own bumbling wonder."
The haikus will be collected and delivered to Mr. Bush on his birthday, July 6.
"This July 6th will be a big day for would-be superheroes. Burt Ward, known for his role as 'Boy Wonder' in the 'Batman' TV series, turns 59. Ned Beatty, who played archvillain Lex Luthor's bumbling sidekick Otis in the Superman movies, will be 67," Steve Olson of DCCC's Online Operations writes in the e-mail.
"On that same day, George W. Bush, the GOP's own bumbling wonder, will turn 58 with your help, we can make sure it will be his final birthday in the White House, and one he won't soon forget."
Mr. Olson urges supporters to "go nuts" and includes a sample haiku in the e-mail:
President Dubya
Fed Halliburton too well
Now Crawford awaits.

What a mature thing to do. I wonder, though, if Mr. Olson's sequel haiku will mention the 41 employees Halliburton has lost thus far in the war. Of course, I have no proof he actual wrote that. It sounds like what Osama said not long ago.
Note: the link won't take you to this story long. Inside Politics doesn't archive, that I know of.

It's not even dumb enough to be cute, or really even all that annoying.
It's sad, in a way, that the left has so utterly lost its way that it can't even be annoying. I'll miss that.

Sad, tired, and pathetic.
The DemoRats tried the stupid routine with Reagan and it didn't work then either.

It ain't real haiku because "gobble" is two syllables. I will throw myself upon the tender mercies of the haiku police. Perhaps I'll hide behind one of the favorite liberal mantras: "Who's to say what's right and wrong?"

these guys have lost what was left of their senses. they
also thought that turning wellstone's memorial into a
campaign event was a really good idea.
let's just stand back, put our hands in our pockets, and
watch these guys consume themselves.

Compared to things like this, the Wellstone Funerally
WAS a good idea.

That's the spirit! But, rearrange it a bit:
Bush freed Afghanis
Bush, a true American
Bush freed Iraqis
Instant haiku! :D

July 6?
John Paul Jones (War of Independence, not Led Zeppelin), Bill Haley (Still Rockin' Around the Clock?), Dalai Lama (Big tipper, the Lama), Nancy Reagan (!), Fred Dryer (ex-great-big scary football guy), Nanci Griffith (Plays Earth Day Concerts, so you'd think...), Inspectah Deck (Member of Wu-Tang Clan, so I had to include him), 50 Cent (Hmmm....Why not on their list?)...
And so on.

You're very welcome. Keep your eye on Inside Politics, if you don't already. They often have stuff not seen anywhere else.
