And it's a mistake. This is a battle of ideas we are engaged in, not simply a political party doing whatever it takes to win in 2006 or even 2008. To bash Bush just because he is expendable is very shortsighted. Mr. Bush deserves a lot of criticism for a lot of things. But to criticize him for short term political gain is definitely not one of them. If you believe in the war in Iraq, and how Bush is handling it, make your case! Don't pull a stunt like this alleged one which agrees with his (and your) detractors.

With Bush coming out for the morning after pill, it sure does seem like Karl Rove is at work, winking at the libs and saying "see, really we are just like you. Just let us keep fooling our 'base'."

Wink, wink.

I haven't even bothered to read what McCain had to say about Iraq. I really just have no interest in hearing what he has to say, because I doubt seriously that he's saying anything helpful at all. Actually, come to think about it, that seems to go for almost anything he says nowadays.

It's been - what - 3 whole weeks since Johnny Mac has had something nice written about him in Pravda on the Hudson. We all know he cannot go that long without saying or doing somehing that will rectify said universal imbalance.

It's just an itch he needs scratched. Often.
