I've seen all three of the new Bush ads (r.r.) -- really the start of the general election campaign -- each one more despicable than the last. I thought I'd have a torrent of invective to share but I found myself just sitting here, shaking my head. I cannot believe the extent to which this shell of a human being has used what happened in New York City on 9/11 to shape his message. Too bad the leadership he showed in crisis cannot be manifested over the long haul. Given the Bush strategy, I wonder why they didn't use any shots of the Pentagon rubble. Or a blackened field in Pennsylvania. As soon as my head stops shaking back and forth involuntarily, I'll be back...
