William Safire: the lying bacteria of every Wednesday in the NYT
Bush was then filling in a gap, too — his foreign policy inexperience — but his pick was directed at governing, not campaigning.

Consider Kerry's choices for a running mate. John McCain turned it down both privately and publicly, and Joe Biden didn't want the job enough. Bob Graham might have helped in Florida, but his diary obsession would have generated sustained media derision. Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack would have triggered a nationwide "Who?"

SAFIRE, ASSHOLE, WHEN ARE GOING TO STOP TAKING SO MUCH VIAGRA? IT'S AFFECTING YOUR BRAIN, OR WHAT'S LEFT OF IT, YOU WHORISH PIECE OF EXCREMENT.

If such, as we now have, is the governing that *'s selection was mean't to be then the nation was hoodwinked right from the start - which we, the astute ones, knew all along!
So pleeeeeeeease spare us the right wing diatribe, Sad-fire!

2. Lies lies lies
Now I see that the right wingers have enlarged upon their "Kerry asked McCain first" lie to include a bunch of other people as well. Surprised they don't include the cast of "Cats" in their list.
