No Karl, it's those other subjects that are hurting your boss's ratings.
For such a brilliant guy, you'd think he would have caught on by now. This tells me Karl isn't quite the sage some seem to think he is.
I agree with regard to Iraq, that goes without saying. When the comments suggested by Karl have been made though, it will leave a hell of a lot left unsaid.
And that will hurt your boss Karl. It's going to hurt the party as well.
