Dear Dub,
You seem to be having a tough time telling the difference between “tactics” and “strategy.” Perhaps this haiku will help:
Tactic: Language games.
Strategy: Deceive voters.
Goal: Win at all cost.

What Atrios said, but in a pair of haiku:
Bin Laden is back,
Touted in GOP ads.
They’re proud of failure?
Frightening people
Is the goal of terrorists,
Like the GOP.

Bush is still rejecting the idea of bilateral talks with North Korea, claiming that they failed to work during Bill Clinton’s administration. Meanwhile, Bush’s flame throwing surrogate, John McCain, says North Korea’s nuclear test, conducted nearly six years into Dubya’s presidency, is Bill Clinton’s fault. So, does that mean Monica was Bush Sr.’s fault?
And that brings me to my latest haiku:
The Buck Stops … On Clinton? (Haiku)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
North Korea’s nukes
Are Clinton’s fault, claims McCain.
Bill’s still Prez? Who knew?
Update: Right after John “Straight Talk” McCain’s finger pointing, McCain blasted people for North Korea related finger pointing. [tags]Bilateral Talks, Nuclear Tests, Nuclear Technology, Senator McCain, President Clinton, North Korea Sanctions[/tags]
Hastert must resign
Because of his coverup.
No “buts,” no delay.

Was cast aside by Congress.

Is Bush the Devil,
Or just an evil-doer?
Either way it’s hell.

ABC movie
Shifts Nine-one-one blame through lies,
To steal votes from Dems.

Republicans chide
The press, when it tells the truth.
Dems decry press lies.
