“Someone was listening yesterday…” Hmm. That must have surprised Hewitt.

It’s very callous to equate “the last man” with “the last goose,” and it also raises an embarrassing question for Hewitt: Is he overvaluing the goose or undervaluing the man?

Geese are objectively pro-Saddam.

“how do you ask a man…” is beautiful prose in it’s power and directness.

this speech is what made kerry an iconic figure. irony is that it’s not even kerry’s own words. it came from a kennedy speech writer.

the few times that kerry was crisp and succint was when somebody else wrote it for him.

why does kerry feel the need to mimic bush? it really sets him up to look phony. he already has problems with being perceived as authentic. why does he compound the problem?

bush gives a speech on a ship, so kerry has to run and give a speech on a ship. kerry is trying to set himself up as a leader. why is he acting like a follower?

Uhm… sadly, no?

Hugh’s inane comment aside, I really do hate these corny stunts. Whether it’s Bush’s fishing on cable TV or Kerry’s hunting for votes, it’s always obvious that they’re cynically trying to manipulate people.

If I were a goose, I think I’d rather be blasted out of the sky and die a free bird rather than live the awful life of a goose being raised for market.

With the manner he carried out his Iraq policy, I still think a good slogan for Bush is:

MISSION ACCLOPMISHED

Ok– Kerry shoots a goose and it’s a campaign stunt. Cheney blasts over 70 farm-raised pheasants, and he’s a sportsman. Feh.
