Dec 2015

Imagine in a hard-fought no-holds-barred election campaign with major stakes, you have the opportunity to launch a meme that has the potential of doing real harm to the opponent, one which he or she would have no compunctions against sending against your candidate, but...is skeevy as hell.

Would you do it? Would you have done it against Dubya? And if you could have, but didn't, wouldn't you lie awake nights thinking about it now?
