............If the Dems ever do decide to get serious, here’s a place to start. Not that they remotely deserve it, but I’m offering the following ad to the Party to run in this year’s election cycle. No charge, even. No points, no commission. My only stipulation is that they use it everywhere, and they use it a lot.

“Security” – Democratic Party National Television Spot, 2006 Election Cycle

Ominous tones oscillate in the background. Fade from black into a shot of Bush presiding at a cabinet meeting. Voiceover: “We know from two former members of his own cabinet that George Bush was planning to invade Iraq from the very beginning of his presidency, well before 9/11 even happened.”

Show Bush laughing and campaigning “We know that he failed to call a cabinet-level meeting on terrorism for nearly a year into his presidency, and show red lines crossing off items on budgetary documents that he originally proposed to slash the government’s anti-terrorism budget to pay for tax cuts for the rich.”

Show twin towers before attack “We know that he was told about a pending attack five weeks before 9/11, but show Bush golfing and biking still spent a month on vacation, even though, a few years later, he flew through the night from Texas to Washington just to sign a bill injecting the federal government into the Terri Schiavo show Schiavo family’s personal medical trauma.”

Show Osama bin Laden “After 9/11, George Bush promised he would bring in its perpetrator, show Bush speaking to Congress, pounding lectern ‘dead or alive’”.
