Both candidates gave speeches late on Thursday night. George W. Bush was more or less expected to. John Kerry didn't have to, but reported for duty even though nobody wanted him to. Unnerved by sagging numbers, he decided to start the post-Labor Day phase of the campaign three days before Labor Day. The way things are going, Democrats seem likely to be launching the post-election catastrophic-defeat vicious-recriminations phase of the campaign round about Sept. 12.
At any rate, less than 60 minutes after President Bush gave a sober, graceful, droll and moving address, Kerry decided to hit back. In the midnight hour, he climbed out of his political coffin, and before his thousands of aides could grab the garlic from Teresa's kitchen and start waving it at him, he found himself in front of an audience and started giving a speech. As in Vietnam, he was in no mood to take prisoners: ''I have five words for Americans,'' he thundered. ''This is your wake up call!''
Is that five words? Or is it six? Well, it's all very nuanced, according to whether you hyphenate the ''wake-up.'' Maybe he should have said, ''I have four words plus a common hyphenated expression for Americans.'' I'd suggest the rewrite to him personally, but I don't want him to stare huffily at me and drone, "How dare you attack my patriotism."

In Rich Lowry's book, "Legacy", on pg 11, "... This elite didn't just feel a call to run the country, it felt it deserved to run the country.
Rich then quoted Jacob Weisberb, "They think of themselves as entitled to power in a way their antecedents never did. ...they're running things because they're the best."
"... In the Clintons, this sense of entitlement produced a deep anger at the fact that their ambitions encountered resistance."
If you put this pompous, arrogant attitude up against President Bush .. then the anger makes more sense. How dare we, the unwashed and ignorant, try to stop these people from ruling. Like I have been saying .. Kerry is a pompous, arrogant a$$.

"There is no core to Bill Clinton John Kerry, no principle he will not sell out, no lie he will not tell, no rule he will not break, if he believes doing so will best serve his immediate interests."
