Back to Politics as Usual

I am finally glad to talk again about the world of politics and not the creepy bathroom habits of elected officials.

Let's start out with MoveOn's hit ad on Gen. Petraeus. Not only did MoveOn make themselves look like a horse's ass by slamming a man who really has served his country for over 30 years, but to do it in a very public way via the NYT. (That's New York Times for those of you that have a life.) You see if you want to get your message across do it in the, "Paper of Record." Not only did the lefty group slam the General, they also did it at a good price. It seems to be that the NYT cut the group some slack to the tune of $100,000 or 60% off newsstand prices.

So let's play a game: I will come up with some alternative lines for some of the democratic candidates as if I were writing an ad piece.

Hillary Clinton or Hillary Capitulation? Only she can tolerate the avid "habits" of her husband for so many years.

Barack Obama or Barack I'll Bomb Ya? Only he has said that he will unilaterally bomb sovereign countries to take out terrorists.

John Edwards or John … who cares he won't win anything.
