I never thought that I'd actually get to see Her Majesty verbalize her conceit that she's smarter, wiser and just better than us all...here goes:
I've been writing for months now that Kerry's most effective message would be that he'd conduct the war on terror with more allies and more wisdom than Bush. But I never actually believed he'd be canny enough to do exactly that.
Sure Andrew, Kerry, like the rest of us, is hardly smart enough to find his way out of a paper bag without your divine guidance, inspiration and intelligence for daily assistance.
Update: And then there's this little Andrew-esque gem:
And then there was the gut-punch: the indirect use of Bush's dubious National Guard service. In fact, the way in which the Democrats used the service record of Kerry against Bush was straight out of the Republican playbook. It's a pretty low blow, and Carter delivered it with a deep thud. When you describe someone as weak on defense and a draft-dodger, you're usually a Republican. But not this time.
So he admits to the republican use of nastiness, while decrying it when used to tell the truth. A comparison of the service records of both men would show that one served honorably and kept his oath, one served with in Sullivans words a "dubious" record. I'm sure that in the drug addled dreams of the Duchess, it was Commander Codpiece who won a Silver Star and John Kerry who was playing the drunken Yalie in the Air National Guard; after all, that's how he's been rationalizing his hero as being a man for the job in the War on Terra™.

Of course, Bush is right again, to freely engage in the ruthless name-calling supported by the most vicious and dirty out-right lying. Because the end always justifies the means in the holy crusade of that gorgeous man in the cod-piece remaining in power, to give us more of those manly wars and more of those tax cuts for the rich, which, thanks to your generous contributions, I can now call myself.
Sontag/Begala Award Nominee: Jo Fish of some blog somewhere keeps calling me by some female honorific or other, and thinks its hypocritical for saying its ok for the GOP to engage in "underhanded tactics", while the victims of those tactics must sit there and take it. Fact is, when you're a queer, Catholic, conservative, not particularly welcome in any of those camps, you learn that one man's hypocrisy is another man's column tomorrow...
