And David Gregory knew not to tell you:
STRETCHING THE TRUTH: Is it news when a president baldly deceives a panel of decent, average Americans? To the Washington press corps, that just isn’t news—if the president’s name is George Bush. On Tuesday morning, Bush baldly misstated elementary facts about Social Security at his hyped public forum (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 1/12/05). Indeed, how contemptuous was Bush’s performance?

1. Get out of their arena, out out out!!!!

As long as we fight in their arena, they will win. Duh, they're lying, duh duh duh. Quit making their arguments the issue!

Pull them into our arena so we can win!
