Meeting with the top leadership Tuesday afternoon, Gephardt opened by advising Members to read a Paul Krugman column in that day's New York Times that accused President Bush of shady land dealings and cronyism in Texas. He also touted a similarly themed story in the New Yorker magazine."[Gephardt] said he thinks this is where the whole thing is headed," said one source who was in the room.
Now this should be very revealing even to the most casual observer. Anyone who puts intellectual stock in the most partisan columnist that the New York Times employs should be taken out and horsewhipped into good sense.
The American people know when all this nonsense began. Gephardt is merely believing his own propaganda. That is always fatal in politics.
Gephardt is trying to tie this to Harken Energy. He's really trying to use that? God, one would hope so. Indeed, this dog ain't even hunting. What we really need are for the Rats to go bonkers, come about September, and start criticizing Bush for his handling of the war.
