Yeah, I know the Uncle Remus story (I live in Georgia, after all). Yeah, I know that we've made a complete shithole tar-baby of Iraq. And yeah, I know you're talking about making something beautiful out of that tar-baby on the cynical idea that we weren't the ones who pushed it in the first place.

You can't. Ask Br'er Rabbit.

The Bush will have no where to run. That's great, just great. Pin him to the wall, have your way with him. Achieve electoral glory as our collective feet sink further into the tar.

Just spare a thought for the dead, and for the spirit of LBJ, every so often.
