Bush Too Dumb To Understand That Kerry Was Talking About Him

Sad, but true.

1. Sorry if this sounds a bit dense...

but I heard a clip on the Randi Rhodes show, it really did sound like Kerry was talking about the troops. I can't figure out how not getting an education = becoming president and putting us in a quagmire. I can see how not getting an education = having no choice but to join the military and be sent to Iraq. The joke was told (and works) because NOBODY wants to be in Iraq - including and especially the troops right now, most of whom signed up for noble causes, and are getting screwed.

3. I heard Olbermann say that last night

Or something to that effect. I think that is the way to work this.

Truth be told I really don't think it will matter. Anyone who gets all fired up about that is not going to vote for a Dem anyway other than that most people's minds are already made up. Midterms tend to have lower voter turnout so usually they are only people who really pay attention to politics or are really determined to vote a certain way. This time I think the turnout will be quite good basically for two reasons:
-We are so politicized that everyone is into politics, well a large number anyway. Religion and politics were two things that you didn't use to bring up at work or in many social situations but now it usually follows right after sport or TV. Everyone talks about it all the time.
-(this one might be tinged with a bit of editorializing) The attempt to knock the wind out of the anti-Bush crowd with what happened in 2004 has failed miserably. It has completely invigorated our base and we know what we can do on short notice (possibly the largest grass roots movement in history 2004 was). I'm not counting chickens mind you but then WE weren't the ones declaring a WIN for "the next generation" only two years ago now were we?

So Kerry said something that throws IRAQ right back onto the front burner- GOOD let the punishment of history for this horrible war officially begin now.
