If George Bush had seen combat up close, his hired gun mouthpiece ...

<snip>

Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot said in an interview on CNN that Kerry looked "wild-eyed" talking about it.

Kerry campaign spokesman David Wade responded tersely: "Maybe if George Bush had seen combat up close, his hired gun mouthpiece wouldn't be so flip about the dishonest and dishonorable attack funded by the President's Texas pals."

Kerry aides compared Bush's new line of attack against Kerry to the campaign mounted by Bush's allies in the 2000 Republican primary race to portray Sen. John McCain as too "unstable" and temperamental to be president.

1. I'd rather have a leader get wild-eyed than one
who stares with the flat, dead eyes of a not-very-bright shark.

3. excellent way of putting it
Because some of the most evil people in history have been very calm and controlled (or stupid).


And Cheney is neither calm nor controlled nor stupid. That guy is a cantankerous old bastard.


And reasonable people get royally pissed off when this beautiful country is being pillaged. It's very telling how shrubster shows no remorse over his obvious fuck-ups like the job-losses and war deaths.

4. He does seem to be not merely remorseless,
but incapable of feeling remorse. That's why I suspect him of being sociopathic. Possibly egocentric as well, i.e. unable to put anyone else's wellbeing above his own.

5. yes
even after all the people he has killed including poor American soldiers, poor Iraqi children, mentally challenged Texans, and born again Christians, ...

he still can't come up with a mistake in his career bigger than trading Sammy Sosa. unbelievable

2. I am almost done reading a book called "An Air That Kills" about
the poisoning of Libby Montana via asbestosis from the vermiculite mines...in it one of Racicot's own family members suffered from and died of asbestosis while Racicot was part of the government cover-up...there's truly nothing too low for this man...he is scum.

6. Some nice quotes coming from the campaign
"Maybe if George Bush had seen combat up close, his hired gun mouthpiece wouldn't be so flip about the dishonest and dishonorable attack funded by the President's Texas pals."

Will the media get them out there?
