Disaster Day
Christ Almighty, as my father used to say when reaching a particular level of exasperation. Ten more Americans dead in Iraq today, Bush's approval rating at an all-time low, he and Cheney set to lie through their teeth to the 9/11 commission today, and Congress getting set to throw more money down the adminstration's rat hole.
During the 1988 campaign, there was a famous Saturday Night Live sketch in which Dana Carvey's Bush the Elder was debating Jon Lovitz's Michael Dukakis. After one particularly convoluted and long-winded speech by Bush, Dukakis looked at the camera and said, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy." John Kerry's got to be wondering the same thing.
