A Noun, A Verb & P.O.W.
Edited on Wed Aug-20-08 05:56 PM by Me.
So far McLame has used his pow experience in every other sentence. Difficult to find an effective comeback that won't be seen as impugning McLame's service.

There is the possibility that people will catch on, or he will reference it one too many times. But surely a more effective strategy can be devised, one that keeps Bama safe from criticism or demands that the American people do something they haven't, so far, done before. Which is seeing through all the bs.

Maybe Biden, if he is the one, can come up with another great line.

2. POW-His sole qualification, and his perpetual excuse.

6. It's not a "security blanket" ...
it's like Bush's "9/11" SHIELD ...

the P.O.W. shield ... any questions, and boom ... up goes the shield ...

3. Biden Isn't A Veteran,
All the lines in the world won't change that. He is needed in the Senate.

4. No- a noun, a verb and 'surge'.
Using 'POW' will offend military, their families, verterans, and lots of others.

7. You mean they would be offended cause of McCain's obstruction of Dole's bill back then?

Or just for saying "P.O.W."?

10. Not Sure Why
It isn't directed at them but at a man who has used it to advance his personal agenda and ambitions.

5. I'd say a slight variation ...
"A Noun, A Verb, and P.O.W."

a noun, a verb, and pow! sounds too good for him ...

8. He's the perfect one to deliver it, too, having become famous for "a noun, a verb, and 911."
He's the PERFECT one to morph that into "a noun, a verb, and P.O.W." And once it's out there in the national zeitgeist, it'll be everywhere. Just like "a noun, a verb, and 911." Suddenly, it became okay to take "911" in vain. Same here with this one. Plus it makes a joke of it, gives it an air of the ridiculous. Which would be helpful.

9. To My Thinking
It has to be a surrogate who does it as Obama can't. Another good person would be Wes Clark who has so bravely already waded in this water. We need a good counter punch on this strategy.
