Really weird!
I check in at the Fox News site every now and then, and today I saw the following headline under "latest stories"...

Bush: Kerry 'More Heroic'
President says Dem's Vietnam service surpassed his own


Strange thin is, every time I tried to open it, I got an "illegal operation" message, and had to shut down.

Is that 'cause I was swearing at the computer every time. Is cursing before you open a story an illegal operation now?

11. Thanks, snyder
I was able to access it through your "back door". Did you notice this little gem?

"In order to make sure jobs stay here in Ohio and America, we're going to make sure countries treat us the way we treat them," the president said.

OH,NO!!!!!! There go the rest of the jobs (at least those under 100k) in the country!!!!!!

4. I think an illegal operation means that someone removed your....
...kidney without your permission. Do you notice a slight tenderness in your lower back?

6. "President says Dem's Vietnam service surpassed his own..."
Gee -- that's really difficult. That's like him admitting that "Hillary Clinton has more estrogen than me."

7. Yes it is, and it's also admitting that Kerry has more balls....
...than George Bush has.

8. This Is Sheer Trickery
Bush is trying to look responsible because the media spotlight is on. The Swiftliars will keep running the ad campaign, which was planned by Rove to begin with. This is a political I.Q. test for Kerry. If he stands down on the counterattack, then we know he's got a screw loose.

10. I don't see it that way
Matt Lauer asked him straight up who sacrificed more: him or Kerry. He would have to be BEYOND the world's biggest idiot to say he sacrificed more than Kerry AND he'd be alienating almost every Vietnam vet out there who DID go while his sorry ass stayed here and made beer runs.

He HAD to admit it. It's great. This swift boat stuff has bush on the ropes, because it is repeatedly forcing him to recognize Kerry's sacrifice via reporters who KEEP asking him questions about it.

Seriously, if I were Rove, I'd call off the smearies NOW. It's backfiring.

15. You are right. This is trickery. Otherwise he would decounce SBL ad.
He knows the ads are running AND DOING DAMAGE so he is free to condemn them knowing they won't stop.

9. Of course we already know
Ann Coulter has more balls than he does, but I guess that's not much of a stretch.
