It Took Months, But "War Hero vs. Draft Evader" Is In The Echo Chamber
Edited on Mon May-31-04 11:45 PM by DrFunkenstein
Now everytime Bush tries to pass himself as the "war President," there will be a caveat that reads like this:

"Bush, who avoided combat in Vietnam while serving as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard, has fashioned himself as a strong president presiding at a time of war for his re-election campaign against Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran."

Too bad Kerry isn't trying to run as the "cheerleader President" or we'd have stuff like this...

Kerry, who avoided cheerleading his entire life while engaging in sports such as hockey and surfing, has fashioned himself a potential cheerleader-in-chief against George W. Bush, long known for being an athletic supporter.

How about Kerry as the "cocaine President," or the "failed businessman President"...




PS - People who aren't impressed by getting this into the echo chamber should remember that Bush somehow managed to attack both Gore and McCain about Vietnam.

2. War Hero vs. War Zero
or War Hero vs. Warmonger
If Edwards gets the nod, it's: "Two lawyers vs. two criminals"
