Begging the question, "What is the question?"
For President Bush, it is, "Are you with us or with the terrorists?"
For Kerry, it is, "Has this press release been cleared with my wife?"
I prefer the Vise-Griptm method of negotiation.
E.g., okay, Mr. Terrorist Detainee, you sing like Olivia Newton John and I won't give you a sex change with these Vise-Gripstm.
Perfect example. I personaly like pliers and a blowtorch, but what the heck, whatever gets the job done.
Works for me.
