Talkin’ about kerry and bush

James Webb, Reagan’s Secretary of the Navy has a few things to say about kerry and bush. First he hammers kerry on vietnam:

To be sure, Kerry deserves condemnation for his activities as the leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW).

And then he hammers bush:

Bush arguably has committed the greatest strategic blunder in modern memory. To put it bluntly, he attacked the wrong target.

Webb has a lot more to say about both. You read. You decide.

bushspeek

Thudfactor has written a short dictionary of bushspeek and is looking for more listing. Go help him out.
An example:

Activist Judge
English: A judge who misuses his office by rulling in ways contrary to the common sense of the law.
Bushspeek: A judge that rules in a manner which you find disagreeable because it forwards the political agenda of the opposition.

Though this is oft used by the bushies it also seems to be increasingly used by many other persuasions as well.


These Coattails May not Have Legs

In todays Kentucky Congressional election the loser, Republican State Senator Alice Kerr :

…based her campaign in large part on her support of President Bush, who had a 63 percent approval rating in a recent poll taken by The Courier-Journal of Louisville.
Mr. Bush made a commercial for Kerr’s campaign and House Speaker Dennis Hastert stumped for her. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., gave her $10,000 and loaned top aides to run her campaign.

And lost 83,890 to 65,300 to Democrat Ben Chandler.
I wonder how quickly the republican house and senate leaders who are up for reelection this year will distance themselves from the administration boat anchors?
