The War Room

"Inside the Bush re-election 'Strategery Room' (named after a famous Bush malapropism), a sign above the door read: IT'S THE HYPOCRISY, STUPID, a reference to Mr. Kerry's constantly shifting positions" [timesonline.co.uk].

Cute, but turn-around is fair play. Enigmas get beaten, especially when they pull their punches and don't counter-attack. Kerry forgot the lesson of the Clinton '92 election, repeated the mistakes of Mike Dukakis in '88, and never learned the wisdom of running from the center. Johnny, we hardly knew 'ye -- or maybe the country knew all too well.
