Little Dickie likes to hear himself talk and see his name in print; it makes him feel that he's still somehow " in the game " ... which he isn't.Often, well after the fact, he is now attempting to take the credit ( somehow, by any means possible, and it's all a sham ! ) for whatever President Bush does or says.
Where President Bush's poll numbers are now don't mean a damned thing. Where they are, a year from now ... that's another story, but NOT as vital as where they'll be come election day of '04. If these basic facts have escaped you, then you'd best rethink your assumption that you know or understand anything at all about politics.
I have never once claimed I am an authority on politics. I am an authority on right and wrong, left and right. Politics is a snake pit of deception and double dealing, if one of the snakes wants to represent me, he has to show me something more on the borders than waving his stetson in welcome and saying "Ya'll come, ya hear?".
