So this morning Bush for the first time said the anti-Kerry ads should
stop. Almost across the board the morning-paper editorials (hundreds can
be accessed via Google News search) are assuming Bush called for the ads
to be pulled because of pressures from Democrats & even from moderate
Republicans. But I doubt that. He just knows as much damage is done as can
be done, & to continue would reflect incredasingly against Bush rather
than Kerry. People who want to believe lies (or at least repeat them as
though they believed it) will repeat them forever. So it's time, on cue,
for Bush to pretend to a higher moral road than yesterday.
To those who want to continue to spread lies about Kerry's war record, the
important feature of Bush's belated call to stop the attack-ads is that he
never said the anti-Kerry ads contained anything untrue, & Bush's faux
high road really calls for an end to all ads done by so-called "outside"
groups categorized as 527 groups. He's not calling for the ads to be
factual, & it's facts about his own record he would like to forestall.
This is why Senator McCain has asked one more time that Bush specifically
condemn the content of the ads. Merely saying it's time to pull all 527
political ads just doesn't cut it. But what can you expect from a cokehead
mofo.
I've read about thirty morning articles & if I were to pick one to pass
on, this one from ABC News is worth perusing for brevity but completeness:

"Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.
"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
