My Weekly Mugger Ought To Have A Blog Post

How much would you have liked to read this last Friday:

Kerry also told fibs about Colin Powell that played well and spoke well of Laura Bush.
My impression immediately after the debate, aside from chagrin that Bush wasn't adequately prepared for the nature of the appearance—it's not as if he hasn't had practice—was just how scary a Kerry administration would be. Jokes about Kerry's affinity for all things French are worth a chuckle, and his continual Vietnam references just irritating, but when he spoke about a "global test" for foreign policy, that got into Stephen King territory. Holy smokes, this guy makes Jimmy Carter look like George Patton!
Just imagine, say eight months from now, Kerry's called at his White House living quarters by John Sasso (the commander-in-chief was sleeping in after an all-night jam session with Celebrity Laureate Bruce Springsteen) with the news that terrorists had just bombed the Sears Tower in Chicago, and initial estimates show that 7000 people were killed.
"Teresa, lovey, I do apologize, but cancel that caviar brunch with Jacques and Yasser and Barbra, I have to convene a summit with those cads who planned this attack! Maybe Holbrooke or Biden can talk them out of doing it again!"
Kerry was at his most disingenuous when he claimed that Bush was neglecting homeland security in favor of giving tax cuts to the people who provide the vast amount of revenue for the federal treasury. It must've gnawed at Bush that he couldn't say, for obvious reasons, that if he's so inept at protecting American citizens, then why hasn't there been another devastating attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11.

Indeed. Russ, I'll give you a dollar if you start a blog.
