Reply #26: This is good. Democrats should use it [View All]

to put the real issue, Valerie Plame, right on the front burner.

First, dismiss the charges against Kerry as proven false.

Then, say that if Repubs think this kind of thing is a big deal, let's talk about Bush and Cheney's treasonous Valerie Plame outing. Talk about that, alot.

Finally, wrap the issue up in the journalistic bankruptcy of the media's new-found ethic of treating contrived corruption as no different from real corruption, as long as someone wants to spew their contrivances loudly enough. Bring up the Smearboat Liars and American journalism's disgraceful 'reporting' there.


This is an opportunity from many angles. If only Democrats don't continue to remain timid about using the truth.
