The ferocious White House assault against Richard A. Clarke is proof that Republican strategists appreciate the seriousness of the moment and are determined to crush the threat as quickly and convincingly as possible.

The savage assault on Clarke continued yesterday when Republican members of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States challenged the credibility and motives of the man who served under every president since Ronald Reagan.
This is, like, the nastiest administration ever!
Indeed.
This lot make Uber-GOPer Richard Nixon look like a choirboy by comparison.
Its going the way I thought it was going. I don't know if this is good for Kerry, but no matter how you slice it is not good for Bush which I guess makes it good for Kerry as long as he doesn't say anything about it.
People keep thinking that when you dig into facts you are just being political. The way I see it, it don't matter even if you are when it comes to issues such as this, the more they are talked about and debated about the more information is out there and the more we learn through it.
It's like the parable of the wheat and the shaft, you don't take the shaft out till the harvest for fear of accidently taking out the wheat as well.
revel:
Because Bush's handlers and watercarriers have framed him as a "wartime President," they've successfully insolated him from accountability, let alone criticism.
Bush is like the Billy Mummy character from that episode of classic Star Trek: dare to question Master Bush and risk being turned into a turnip -- or worse.
I can't recall right now who it was, but one of the Founders wrote that it is our duty to our nation to question our elected officials. To not do so was to invite tyranny.
I think, and I believe, we're living dangerously at that juncture today.
Stumble It!
