Bush on CNN talking up Sept. 11 again

[quinnox]

This will be the theme of his campaign.

1. Is this his Labor Day Speech in Cleveland? Job Loss=Sept. 11th?

I don't know how much farther he can go with that one. He's beating it to death.

7. He's not in Cleveland

Just another ridiculous falsehood by the media. He's in Richfield, about 45 minutes outside of Cleveland and literally in the middle of nowhere. The Cavaliers used to play there but the Richfield locals screwed themselves and had the Coloseum closed (and torn down). It's pretty much just a big forest.

2. He has nothing else...

except the fear factor. I hope the 'pubs continued exploitation of 9-11 for their own selfish purposes eventually backfires.

3. Bush caused it

Franken details it in his book. He calls it "Operation Ignore."

4. Either He's Holding Aces Or He's Too Stupid To Know...

Seeing the Bush administration's behavior over the war on terror and the failure of their Iraqi and Afghani missions I am led to believe one of two things:

1) The Bush/Cheney team is holding some serious Aces up their sleeves that will firmly move public opinion back into their corner upon the selective playing of these cards; or

2) Bush is just a complete blithering moron who is oblivious to the water gushing into the bottom of his re-election boat.

Now I am the first to say Bush is a moron. The man just isn't too bright and I think we all know it by now. However, the people who handle him and feed and groom him are bright, albeit in a very cynical way. The fact that they have him out there trotting out the same old vague rhetoric seems to indicate to me instead of showing some rhetorical flexibility makes me think either 1 or 2 is the case.

8. Well, your choices aren't mutually exclusive

They could have the best plan in the world and Bush could still be a complete blithering moron!

I'm not sure that playing up September 11 is such a good strategy, but I'm not going to be firing off any emails to the Squatter in Chief; no sense stopping them when they're making a serious mistake.

9. # 1 if they know...

...bin forgotten or saddam are on ice or are in anarea where they think they are safe and can hide a while.
More of #2 in my thoughts. More of a bluff into talking over problems ....distraction. Everything is just fine. Th emedia will comply.

11. Here are some aces....

1. Bin Laden dead or alive...probably dead just in time for the '04 vote

2. Saddam dead or alive...probably dead just in time for the '04 elections

3. Ken Lay indictment...feds get their case built just in time for the '04 elections

4. D.C. snipers tried and convicted... just in time for '04 elections
