Uh Sid? Last time I checked, the President wasn't running on his war record. Get it?

[Mr. Jeeves]

Sid the Squid knows all about squirming. ;)

ROFL. Sidney Blumenthal is spinning. Fortunately for our side, Kerry is no Clinton.

[Always Right]

Uh Sid? Last time I checked, the President wasn't running on his war record. Get it?

Just wishful thinking by the left. Voters are smarter than the left gives them credit for. Repackaging old stories isn't gonna win over voters.

Hi, my name is Sidney Blumenthal, girlyman extraordinaire. What do you mean, have I stopped beating my wife yet?

[Pete]

Yet at this moment of disdain a discovery that cast light on Bush's character suddenly emerged, having the potential to alter the momentum of the campaign.

This is nothing more than wishful thinking. It is the Kerry campaign that is running on stuff that happened 30 years ago. No one else really cares that much.

Kerry had given a penetrating and highly specific speech on the war on terrorism and Iraq, detailing how Bush's strategy amounted to a series of catastrophic blunders. "When it comes to Iraq," he said, "it's not that I would have done one thing differently, I would have done almost everything differently."

Boy that is specific, HA

Meanwhile in the White House, aides anxiously wonder how to explain the president's haunted past and his long years of hiding it and who will have the task of facing the cameras.

This reads like a mystery novel...How lame.

Their response was simple.

"Bush has already said Kerry's service was admirable and more illustrious than Bush's. This is just politics from some old story that has already been thoroughly investigated and proven false."

[frog_jerk_2004]

Kerry's speech was pointedly ignored by Bush

This is yet another reason to like BUSH!

Ben Barnes is a political hack who is in so tight with the Kerry party his limbs are turning black. He lies, He has been involved in lies since his big banking scandal back in the 70's. Everyone in Texas equates Ben Barnes with Kitty Kat.

Sid believes Bush will squirm? W doesn't squirm. Hasn't Sid figured that out yet? I'm getting whiplash from the spin again.

Sid "Oh-How-I-Want-To-Be-Relevant" Blumenthal??????

[linn37]

We are doomed,doomed I tell ya!

[pabianice]

On Wednesday, the Boston Globe published documents proving that Bush, whose spotty record in the National Guard was always mysterious, "fell well short of meeting his military obligation".

Three lies in one sentence. Not bad, even for the Boston Fishwrap.

[dfwgator]

Like people cared that Clinton was a draft-dodger. Rats are full of it as usual.

[TexasCajun]

Poor Sid!

If crapola didn't work for Ann Richards what makes you think it will work for John Fn Kerry?

[EternalVigilance]

Kerry must have promised Sid his old closet in the WH basement.

I counted four, but your point is well taken.
