"Saddam Hussein was a weapon of mass destruction"? It's like Sorkin's writing the dialog --- making the GOP sound stupider than it is.

I thought it was quite a coup for TDS to get what my guess is would be the two nominees in 2008, if Bush wins in 2004. But appearing on TDS last night was a bad, bad move for Rudy. He sounded really disingenuous; Clark sounded much better. And I think this had more to do with preparation than anything else. Fortunately for Rudy, he's got four years to live it down. Still, after last night I'm not sure I can take Rudy as seriously as before.*
* Despite appearances to the contrary, I'm not quite as rabid as one might think. I was genuinely undecided in both 1992 and 96 until very close to the end, and would have voted for McCain in 2000. I'm more anti-Bush Jr. than anti-Republican. I'd vote for Rudy over Kerry, but probably not over Clark.
