Got a note from my friend Karl today. He's quoting Hannibal.

"I love it when a plan comes together."
. "Dat's right, boss," sez Mini-He.

Let's see, Clark isn't covered by press till he quits the race; Kerry gets slimed for a non-existent affair and his casual "toke" pandering ends up on a tape on CNN; the Iraq commission is a done deal that won't report until March '05; the indictments for Plame Gate will nudge Cheney out by summer, thereby ending that story; and the press is already half buying the rationalization that Bush showing up for a single dentist appointment constitutes "fulfilling his obligation" to the Air National Guard.

Rove's got nothing to work with and he's still holding it all together and giving as good as he gets. This man continues to be a danger to Democrats and democracy. Please don't underestimate him. You know that he's still got something planned for September and a couple of things planned for October. Count on it and register all your friends.

1. Your subject gave no indication

I'd have to see a picture!

:puke:

LOL!

2. Couple things

If there is an indictment in the White House, even the VP's office, Bush could pick JESUS as his VP and he'd still lose. Jesus, imagine the Perp walks! Second, even if the charges against Kerry are true (I have my doubts and curiosity) we still have an excellent candidate ready to step-in.

Here's my bottom line, people have generally already made up their minds about Bush. This election is not about who the Dem nominee is, it's a referendum on Bush. Period.

And IMO, Bush is toast.

4. Oh, Karl left a PS on his note for you

"Thank you for underestimating me. I got nuthin' up my sleeve."
. "Dat's right, boss. Majority rulthes in dis country." sez Mini-He.


Personally I like Edwards. I'm leaning his way. But this reporter-affair deal is gonna fizzle at first, go away until after Super Tuesday, then come screaming back in the form of future, better times allegations. Drudge didn't just make this up. Someone fed it to him and he jumped the gun on the intended timing. Edwards will get no help from this scandal until after Kerry implodes. Watch this; we're all about to get a lesson in Rove 101.

6. I'm torn about the Kerry/Intern thing

But honestly, I'm a lot more confident than you are. If Karl Rove is such a master, how come everything Bush has touched has gone to shit in the last year? They're normal MO is failing, you know why?

Not very many people respect or trust them anymore. When they lost the trust factor they lost everything. It was all they had.

8. I think it's cause * is such a bad puppet.

It takes a real degree of stupidity to fail at the puppet business, but Dimson seems to have pulled it off.

3. Hannibal Lecter? Or Hannibal the Carthaginian general?

Either way works for me. One's a fictitious psychopath, and the other lost.

7. Hannibal Smith...

the leader of "The A-team" on TV.

5. I won't be flying that's for sure.

9. Sadly Dems are such easy targets for Karl's tactics
