I know, I know. If it weren't true, it would be a piece from "The Onion." But how DO you react to a spokesman from the Bush campaign referring to John Kerry as "a candidate who will say anything to get elected?" Rove & Hughes have turned "scare tactics" into some kind of unholy art form. The only thing missing from Schmidt's statement is the word "litany"...then we'd know it's straight from the ass...er, I mean MOUTH...of Karen Hughes.

Meanwhile, Bush prepares his "significant" new "terror speech," most likely filled with "misleading scare tactics," to be delivered today in the shadow of the 9/11 disaster.

"I'll tell you what. I will never privatize Social Security. I'll never cut the benefits and I won't raise the retirement age," Kerry told an audience in Pembroke Pines, Fla.

The Massachusetts senator seized on a New York Times Magazine story to attack Bush. The article quoted the president telling supporters that "privatizing Social Security" would be high on his second-term agenda.

"John Kerry's misleading senior scare tactics are just another example of a candidate who will say anything to get elected," said spokesman Steve Schmidt. "No matter how false his accusations or how contradictory they are with his record of repeatedly voting for higher taxes on Social Security."

Bush spent the day at the White House, emerging to attend church services and go for a bike ride. He is scheduled to make what aides billed as a major speech on terrorism Monday in New Jersey, where millions live within sight of the terrorist-scarred lower Manhattan skyline.
