but I'd love to shove Andy Card into a big pool of ice water. Ok, to be even more honest, I'd like to take a swing at him, but he's not worth injuring my hand. I get the feeling that he's far too cowardly to speak the truth, so he's couching his speech in terms of what will keep him out of trouble with the evil bastards. The false equivalence of both sides behaving in the same way is COWARDLY. Nobody in the Democratic Leadership is urging the people to violence!!!!!
And, yes, I admit that I have a temper that, when finally triggered, sends people to take cover.

... and they rolled out their new product. Division and war.
Methinks were seeing something similar.

White House officials said today that the administration was following a meticulously planned strategy to persuade the public, the Congress and the allies of the need to confront the threat from Saddam Hussein.
The rollout of the strategy this week, they said, was planned long before President Bush's vacation in Texas last month. It was not hastily concocted, they insisted, after some prominent Republicans began to raise doubts about moving against Mr. Hussein and administration officials made contradictory statements about the need for weapons inspectors in Iraq.
The White House decided, they said, that even with the appearance of disarray it was still more advantageous to wait until after Labor Day to kick off their plan.
''From a marketing point of view,'' said Andrew H. Card Jr., the White House chief of staff who is coordinating the effort, ''you don't introduce new products in August.''
