Bush’s Moment in Sun Eclipsed
September 4th, 2004
Having abused national security on several occasions to steal the press spotlight away from Kerry, Bush has random chance steal it away from him. Just as he finishes his convention hoping to hit the trail and expand his mini-bounce into something substantial, three major stories hit simultaneously: Hurricane Frances in Florida (developing), Clinton has quadruple-bypass surgery, and the terrorist siege in Russia.
After a weak-kneed convention and a lukewarm economic report, this is not exactly good news for Bush. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Wow!!! This is great news!!! This is almost as good news as dead GIs in Iraq!!! Pray for more disasters!!!
Don’t be an idiot, Carlos. It’s a wry observation, not a celebration.
Luis,
I can practically see you drooling. These disasters and calamities (like dead GIs in Iraq) are unfortunately a necessary evil if we are to oust Bush. Right? It’s a bitter pill, but a necessary one. The only way Kerry can get elected is if all your hopes and dreams in Iraq come true. That’s sad dude.
You’re a sicko, Carlos, and I won’t be insulted that way. The only thing I can guess is that you’re projecting–that what you write is the way you’d feel if, say, it were Clinton sending people to war and you wanted more to die to get him out. That’s a disgusting thought. I’m outraged, not “drooling.” Bush lied to get people to agree to this, the war was absolutely unnecessary, and these good men and women are dying now because of it. Tens of thousands more are coming back without limbs, others with disabilities and in constant pain, and many more in mental anguish. Divorce rates and suicide rates of returnees are very high. You think someone wants to hope for that for any reason? You’ve got a twisted mind.
