Crisis Papers: "Shallow Throat" Tells How Bush Can be Defeated in 2004
http://www.crisispapers.org/Editorials/bush-defeat.htm
By Bernard Weiner

Apparently he has written other Shallow Throat articles.

<snip>
The message I got from Shallow Throat was: "Let's talk outside the Beltway. Lubbock airport 3 p.m. Tuesday, on your way back from Houston."

The high-ranking GOP mole, who had provided exceptional information and advice from inside the White House and now in another government agency, didn't want to risk being spotted in conversation anywhere near Washington, D.C. Lubbock, Texas, is not near anything.

We took separate cabs to an out-of-the-way diner near the airport. For the first time in a long while, we could actually have a lengthy, free-flowing conversation without having to worry about someone in the government seeing or overhearing us. (Even so, ST wore a wig, a West Texas cowboy hat, and wraparound shades.)

1. I can't figure out if this is a spoof or real....
It doesn't exactly take a shallow throat or mind
to figure out the Bushies are in deep doo-doo.
If ST is real, I wish him or her the best.
I do like Bernie's writing also.

hmmmm

2. Deep into the Doo Doo:

"For example," ST continued, "the Left has to quit looking for a saint in your candidate. The goal here is not to elect someone with whom you agree on everything; the goal is not perfect purity. The only goal here is to defeat Bush, thus breaking the momentum of the neo-con machine that is rolling over the globe and, under Ashcroft's Patriot Act, shredding our rights under the Constitution -- and spending us into bankrupcy so that America's popular social programs like Medicare and Social Security and Head Start and so on will be defunded and privatized out of existence. Back to pre-FDR days.

"Doesn't matter if the person to defeat Bush is Dean or Clark or Kerry or Gephardt or whomever -- get behind him, hold your nose if you have to, and work your ass off to defeat the Republicans. If you/we fail in 2004, this country is way deep into the doodoo; you thought you saw Bush&Co. extremism in action over the past three years? That will look like a tea party; we're talking in-your-face police-state fascism at home and more imperial wars abroad. These guys are not playing around. Get your act together, NOW!"

3. This is a good assessment.
Even if shallow throat is a figment of his imagination, he is a pretty deep person.
