2. Where does the stunt fit in?? |
|
You know, the stunt where some republican staffers or college young republicans pose as protestors and are allowed to get close to the proceedings, yelling some crap before they are led away before too many people get a good look at them? This would serve the dual purpose of making all Bush opponents look bad, and giving Bush the chance to say something supposedly off-the-cuff that's pithy and wise...
(Note to lurking media people: the preceeding isn't a conspiracy theory; it's a thought experiment. "What would Karl Rove do??")
