Pitching Tents in Crawford
In today's Doonesbury, a talking cowboy hat meets with a... wait, wait, wait. Which strip am I reading? Did they jumble the order in my newspaper? No, no, it's Doonesbury...er...Prickly City.
Let me start over...
In today's Prickly City, Carmen and Dio manage to pull off the impossible: They actually get an audience with the President! I suppose it's as simple as just going to the White House and ding-donging the door. It sure is easier than camping out in Crawford, Texas singing folks songs. (You're in the wrong spot, Cindy! He's not vacationing! He's hard at work! In Washington, DC!)
Dio cites some figures: "In your first term, federal government spending rose 33 percent!" Since WHEN did Stantis start relying on facts and figures with respect to the President? Last time I checked, he was more concerned with figurative bites of a sandwich instead of specific details of any party platform. But hey, I guess I'll cut the guy some slack. I bet too many ideas make his teeth itch.
But seriously, we should give Stantis some credit for actually having the pole to criticize the Big Tent. Just like we should give Sacki some credit for pitching his small tent when he actually doesn't have the pole. Huzzah.

I could blame your ad hominem attack on lies and an agenda to benefit Israel, but then I'd just be a crazy nut and endorsed by such torch-bearers as David Duke. You know, like Cindy Sheehan.

Except she never said the Israel part - Cindy Sheehan: "Another big deal today was the lie that I had said that Casey died for Israel. I never said that, I never wrote that."

I can truly imagine her saying that, Furnace. Just like she once said "I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis...I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith." It's easy for her to be right on all accounts when she's talking out of both sides of her mouth.

How is that talking out of both sides of her mouth? She met Bush and said he believes in what he's doing. Of course, Cindy Sheehan - and 59% of the country - don't believe in what he's doing. And that's why she's asking for him to explain what "noble cause" her son died for in Iraq. Maybe he'll answer the question "What exactly is victory in Iraq" too.
