Snip:

As John Kerry is belatedly finding out, smear tactics work in American politics.

It shouldn't come as news to the Democrats, who watched Michael Dukakis go down in flames 16 years ago, thanks to a rampaging murderer named Willie Horton and a brilliant bit of character assassination orchestrated by Republican operatives who didn't think George Bush Sr.'s "kindler, gentler" rhetoric was a winning strategy.

3. The Kitty Kelley book should have some good material.

The fact that junior has had a decades long affair with Victor Ashe should see some face time, also.

President George W. Bush has announced the appointment of Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe, a Past President and current member of the Executive Committee of The U.S. Conference of Mayors, to the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae, the nation's largest source of financing for home mortgages. Ashe is the first mayor to serve on Fannie Mae's Board of Directors.

Part of our concern with Fannie and Freddie has been the level of complexity. Freddie Mac announced that it had significantly understated past earnings. Fannie Mae announced it had “made an error of more than $1 billion in a quarterly earnings release.” One newspaper reported that "N. Gregory Mankiw, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, told a group of state bank supervisors that the companies are so large and complex that it is hard even for the companies themselves to keep track of their own situations." The risk of a catastropic failure at Freddie or Fannie causing a meltdown of the U.S. mortgage market may be growing.

5. Sounds "compelling" to me!

Let's see how Poppy feels about the sex/kids slime! Let's start asking him now! Let's see how much he can get on Katie Curic-I know I'm dreaming :) and say that the Washington Times was telling lies. Let him beat back the truth for as change!

I would love to ask him: "Did the Washington Times Lie when they said that you were involved in a sex scandal? Some people say that you are gay, are you ? Some people say that your son is gay, is he?,Do you know Victor Ashe? I have COMPELLING information that causes me to ask you these questions."

I read over that link this morning that gives the talking pts.from Kitty Kelly's book. Just about every item that it mentions you can say,"that's horrible but it does not surprise me. Wow! What she is saying is COMPELLING!"

I even read the list to my over 80 mom and she even said," I would believe every word of what that Kelly lady said. Everyone knows the Bush family has invaded our country!"

Many of us at DU have said all along that Poppy is right in the Middle of all of the political Crimes since his family hit this soil.

They are the scum of the earth!!
