Ugh
It's going to be a long election cycle.
They're already trying to blame Kerry for 9/11 in an act of cognitive dissonance that will make your brain ooze out of your ears. Effectively the Post is saying, "We know he told the administration they should tighten security at Logan, but he didn't tell them hard enough! Oh, if only the president had gotten this information... er... more forcefully! Perhaps then he wouldn't have sat on his ass and not done jack shit about it."
Then, they're trying to make a tizzy out of Kerry's remark that he knows leaders of other nations who want Bush ousted in November.
Shit, I practically know leaders of other nations who want Bush ousted in November. Is the implication that he's lying or are they just interested in adding to their enemies list? Because I don't get it.
And try to believe Bush delivered the following line without his head exploding from irony.
"If you're going to make an accusation in the course of a presidential campaign, you've got to back it up with facts," Bush told reporters during a meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende.
KA-BOOM!
Posted by John at March 16, 2004 04:21 PMNazi-comparisons anyone? Try this one: During the Nazi-Regime (1933-45) there was a common saying in Germany: "Wenn das der Führer wüsste!" ("If only the Führer knew about this!"), implying that anything that went wrong (including minor details like the deportation, torture and murder of jews and dissidents, war crimes and the like) is solely the fault of subaltens. The great, benevolent and infallible "Führer" Hitler would never have let anything bad happen - had he only been told about it. If this line of reasoning sounds familiar to you i have, of course, no idea why.
