The Cocktober Surprise!!! |
|
"Republicans fighting like banty roosters" over their little foley issue.
Compliments of Ed Schultz. I'd love to, but can't, take credit for that title.

8. Great pun but it points the finger back at us |
|
Has too cynical a ring for my ears. Distracts from Foley's guilt.

15. Well, if you don't think it does, let's use it then |
|
I'm happy the Democrats engineered a political coup, so let's call it what it is, even though it happened in September. By the way, it took us way off message.

17. You Think Democrats Engineered This, Sir? |
|
Of course, it would please me greatly if we had, but it would be helpful if you stepped me through how it might have been done, since the principle actors in the matter, from pages to the Speaker of the House, are Republicans....

20. Somehow we are not communicating |
|
I'll try just once more. The term "October Surprise" has the connotation of a false story planted just ahead of an election.

21. Not Really, Sir: It Is An Unexpected Event, Effecting The Election |
|
Possibly sprung by one side or the other. There is no connotation of false-hood or falseness to it at all.
This one is working decidedly in our favor, and ought to be ruthlessly exploited.
And you still have not disposed of whjat seemed to be a claim by tou that Democratic political operatives contrived this thing, somehow.

13. 'Cocktober Surprise' Is An Excellent Usage, Sir |
|
It makes people grin; it sticks in the mind. Just this moment, it made my wife laugh out loud.
Among the leading means of mass political work is getting people to view your enemy as laughable, as figures of fun, the butt of jokes. What people have laughed at, they can seldom be brought to ever take wholly seriously again.
