Eureka! Great Kerry idea

(From the diaris -- kos)
I was just listening to the Al Franken show, and he touched on a point, but didn't make an interesting connection. Colin Powell told president Bush, "if you break it, you own it." And now president Bush is going around talking about having an "ownership society." That's a huge opening for Kerry:

"Mr. president, Colin Powell told you about this war that 'if you break it, you own it.' And now you're going around talking about an 'ownership society.' Well, Mr. President, let me tell you what you own. A million jobs lost. You own that. A thousand soldiers lost. You own that. 1.4 million new people living below the poverty line. You own that. 1.2 million less people covered by health insurance. You own that. A seventeen percent medicare increase. You own that. Health care costs skyrocketing. You own that. The tax burden increasing amongst the middle class. You own that. Mr. President, if you want to talk about an ownership society, let's talk about what you own."

1. Agreed

It's a great idea.

The problem is that Kerry campaign staffers, who after all, get paid to sit around all day and think of ideas, would never think of something so deceptively simple, yet brilliant.

Worse, they won't read DU or talk to anyone outside their cocoon to understand what real Americans are thinking.
