INstead of that sorry photochop, why not a real pic? He seems to be surrendering faster than a frenchman.

What's your definition of "in"?

I'd say it's more of a Ronald Reagan problem -- you know, kind of like telling the prime minister of Israel about how he was able to liberate the concentration camps in Europe from his stint in the Army training film studios in Hollywood.

edited to add cite -- from: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/fea...ity-index.html

The Liberator.
In November 1983, Reagan told visiting Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir that he had served as a photographer in a U.S. Army unit assigned to film Nazi death camps. He repeated the story to Simon Wiesenthal the following February. Reagan never visited or filmed a concentration camp; he spent World War II in Hollywood, making training films with the First Motion Picture Unit of the Army Air Corps.

Don't get me wrong... I liked Reagan's fiscal policy and the fact that he was a tough bastard (Afghanistan would be glowing green today if he were in office). But I recall hearing about that WWII fib and thinking "God, its creepy... the man totally invented a holocaust story and told it to a crowd of Jews." You can lie about meeting david Lee Roth in the elevator at the Plaza, or having seen Anna Kournikova on anude beach, or having hit a hole in one, nailed a 360 dunk in your HS basketball championship game, thrwon a 100 mph fastball, tagged half of the Tri Delts on campus in college, made $1 mil in software in the 90s or even claim to know where the Ark of the Covenant is...

...but you don't tell a bunch of poeple whose families died in concentration camps that you saw that horror firsthand and know what they're talking about.

That story always freaked me out. It was too early in his tenure for Reagan to have been under the early sway of Alzheimer's, so its pretty clear the man was a tad demented. Since it was isolated, I pretend it was one aberrant incredible judgment lapse from an otherwsie quality person.

This may explain Cambodia. Looks like JFK2 has an Al Gore problem:

And that is . . . what? Essentially telling the truth and then being attacked as a liar by Scaife- funed right wing crazies?

That's odd. I watched the same show and I saw him talking policy. Maybe they have parallel channels for different political viewpoints.

"Policy" is more than saying "Jon, I'll create more jobs, and bring back jobs lost". I think if you look that up its called "promise." See also: unlikely, unrealistic, hollow, fatally protectionist.

But the real bullshit hasn't even been heard yet. That's to come next week when the GOP trots out a cavalcade of its 15 REAL (See: Rockefeller) republicans so they can whore it up for moderate votes. Then, when the cameras are off, the Jesus loons can speak in tongues and scream "What about the children???" Oh, and as to policy, my guess is W will take a page from kerry and talk about what he's gonna do, without explaining how he's gonna do it.

Picking between Kerry and Bush is like selecting which hand your doctor uses for a prostate exam.

Perhaps, but Kerry won't lie about what he'll find after he goes in.

Oh. You're saying Bush may say he needs to go in because he knows there will be tumors?

See, I'd be afraid that Kerry'd say he already was there and I wouldn't get checked.

Experts criticize Bush's 'reckless and extreme course'

The Nobel Prize is, in fact, for the cultural elite. I'm guessing this won't sway the average Bush voter, who probably thinks the Nobel is conferred by the UN.

Tell them it has to do with dymanite. They'll think Kerry's macho.

The Nobel Prize also determined that Yassar Arafat helped advance world peace.

Why is it you think he's so tough? What did he do in response to terrorist attacks on Marines in Lebanon?
