Hogwarts Howler For The American Voter

By Arianna Huffington

September 15, 2004

"Oh, how I wish this column were capable of special effects. If it were, the newspaper or computer screen you’re reading it on would suddenly morph into a Howler, one of those bright red envelopes in the Harry Potter books that, when opened, begin to shout at the recipient in the sender’s voice. In this case, my Greek-accented cry would fill the air:

WAKE UP! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!!

The reason for my distress is simple: I’ve just seen another round of polls showing that, by a hefty 23-point spread, voters think George W. Bush will make the country safer and more secure than John Kerry. Karl Rove’s VBD (Vote for Bush or Die) strategy is clearly working.

And I’m left Howlering:

SAFER AND MORE SECURE? IN WHAT UNIVERSE??? ..."

2. George W. Bush quote: "Trying to frighten people into the voting booth."

Gee, from 10/03/2000, the first pResidential debate. Used as an attack on Al Gore. About MediCare.

Hmm, maybe we should resurrect the video . . .
