BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A PHOTO OP

From the Wall Street Journal:

Progress for America plans to begin airing ads today in two battleground states, Wisconsin and Iowa, says Mr. McCabe. The ads question whether Sen. Kerry would have adequately handled the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.

One of the commercials opens with the smoky ruins of the Twin Towers and moves to several pictures of Mr. Bush with New York firefighters and other rescue workers. A narrator praises Mr. Bush's leadership, and asks: "But what if Bush wasn't there? Could John Kerry have shown this leadership?" [emphasis mine]

Excuse me? He almost disappears from public view during one of our nation's greatest emotional crises, then a great photo opportunity rears its head and he's suddenly a great leader?

Real men don't mind if their feet get muddy -- they turn their Swift Boats into the enemy's beachhead. Mind, I said THE ENEMY's beachhead, not some neighbor's who didn't fire on them but made a better "target-rich environment."

Let's make this a meme: George W Bush is a wimp, a pantywaist, a girly boy. Maybe we'll get more white male votes.
