Re Bush's New Tone: while the President himself is wise to stay above the clatter, his party should engage in the battle. What the GOP needs is an attack spokesman who has arm's length deniability ( not a Bush cabinet member).

This spokesman should be funny, sarcastic, smart, informed, quick witted and brutally honest. He should clearly identify Democrat quislings, traitors, cowards, Bush-haters, crybabies and media bias.

I don't know who this person will be, but the New Tone thing only works in a civil atmosphere. This is not a civil atmosphere. Clinton had a pack of these attack dogs, Bush should have only one, who is personable (unlike Livingston and Carville).

Career politicians cannot speak freely. The GOP fights like little girls in the culture war. Engage or quit.
