O, Magic 8-Ball! What will the GOP run on this year?
Answer: Crying wolf. Again!
George II spoke to the National Guard Association today and gave us an idea of how his party will fight to stay in office in spite of a disastrous war in Iraq, an unprecedented budget deficit, massively unpopular cuts to social programs, an ever-expanding lobbying scandal, an illegal wiretapping program, a Prescription Drug program that's a failure of comic proportions, the bungled hurricane relief efforts, and more handouts to big corporations.
In a word, it's 'terror.' Or more specifically, in ninety-seven words. That's how many times the Prezimudent used some variant of the word in his speech today. Let's take a look:
Since September the 11th, we've led a broad coalition to confront the terrorist threat. Four weeks after the attacks, America and our allies launched military operations to eliminate the terrorists' principal sanctuary in the nation of Afghanistan. I told the world that if you harbor a terrorist, you're equally as guilty as the terrorists. And when an American President says something, he better mean what he said. I meant what I said.
Just like he meant it when he said that in his line of work you have to repeat yourself a lot, and "catapult the propaganda." But not so much like he meant it when he said he doesn't care where Osama bin Laden is.
Now let's have some fun with ol' Georgey Girl:
The cute puppies are living under constant pressure -- and this adds to our security. When cute puppies spend their days working to avoid death or capture, it's harder for them to plan and execute new attacks on our country. By striking the cute puppies where they live, we are protecting the American homeland.
There now, don't you feel more secure already?
But there's more. Bush cited the administration's successful prevention of an attack on Los Angeles' "Liberty Tower." There is no such building. Presumably he meant the "Library Tower." But Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said today that this is the first he's heard of it.
It's an extremely dangerous thing for this administration to keep flogging the issue without providing any evidence. The more implausible their claims become, the more tragic it will be when there really is a threat and the public no longer believes them.
