Strike Two
Last year, John Kerry ran as a (sorta-kinda) anti-war combat veteran who criticized President Bush.
He lost.
In Ohio's recent special election, the Democrats decided their candidate would be a (sorta-kinda) anti-war combat veteran who criticized President Bush.
Memo to future candidates, right or left: calling the president a "son of a bitch" will not make you look like a straight-talking independent. It makes you look like a fool, and an angry one at that.
Next time, just say something like "I disagree with the president," or even "I don't like the president." Gets the same point across without making you look like a spittle-flecked discussion-board troll.
UPDATE - And right on schedule, from the DU boards: "21. Let's see....Ohio...Diebold...GOP candidate wins. Business as usual."
*Sigh* Thanks, Al.
