Red Letter Week For the Dems

It was another red letter week for what can only be called the beleaguered campaign of John Kerry. They had the reverse Midas touch this week. Everything they touched turned to shit!

Besides the fact that the Senator is running his campaign by grabbing President Bush soundbites and responding to them, this week Kerry called the interim Prime Minister of Iraq, and our ally now, a puppet of the US.

Then to top it all off CBS News was thoroughly humiliated when its report on W's National Guard service was found to be a complete fraud. Of course CBS and the Kerry campaign both claim they were not in concert on this one, but the American public isn't buying it.

Now the first two are related since Kerry has tried to be the exact opposite of what W is. So he takes every speech and quote and tries to say the opposite. Apparently this boob is clueless about this politics game. He looks like a complete moron. He has no platform except to be the opposite of Bush. Frankly I think Bush ought to come out and say something that everyone agrees with and see what Kerry does. People are seeing Kerry as the fraud he is. His act might play well in MA, but on a national stage he is not cutting it.

The CBS thing was a source of great comedy for the Republicans. We watched as that blowhard Dan Rather squirmed on the hot seat. This no talent ass clown had zero credibility in my book before, but with his latest stunt, he lost most of what he had with the rest of the people.

Seems as though some military guy in Texas, bent on the defeat of Bush in November conspired with CBS to create some false documents to show Bush did not complete his National Guard duty. Rather and CBS claim they were duped, but it is amazing that they would run with a story that was debunked practically overnight without thoroughly checking it out. Of course when they saw an opportunity for a W character assassination responsible journalism took a back seat.

CBS ran the story on its midweek edition of 60 minutes. The next day experts pounced on the document that was allegedly written by one of W's commanders in the guard saying he had not completed his duty nor performed satisfactorily. Apparently CBS thought they could get away with it since the man who allegedly wrote it was dead. But, the experts looked at the document and determined that it was written using MS-Word. MS-Word that was not even a product at the time of the document, which was allegedly written on a typewriter.

CBS for their part spent the better part of two weeks defending the document and their decision to go with the story. Like I said, when it comes to character assassination facts are meaningless. At least that is what CBS has taught us this week.

Finally, CBS was forced to admit their error. Dan Rather, looking all sheepish and tired said the document has not been investigated in the normal CBS manner and there were doubts about its authenticity. He apologized to the American public, but of course not to the person they were trying to hurt, President Bush. He also said there were no ties to the democrats but most people find that a hard pill to swallow. Calls for Rathers removal ensued, but CBS says they will support this buffoon. I say great, let's see what he tries next!

The Democrats are dealing with a candidates wife who won't shut up and adds nothing but ridiculous statements to the mix. People say she is a strong woman, but behind that elegant voice is a lady who seems to be rather dim. The party is constantly putting out fires and instead of having issues to campaign on they seem to be sticking a finger in the air to find out which way the breeze is blowing on a given day.

I don't know what Slick Willie is these day, but he must just get up in the morning and read his paper and just shake his head at the way these boobs are running HIS party!
