Well, if you define the word "smart" in an antiseptic and clinical way that excludes any ethical dimension, then, yeah, I guess it was smart. Smart, if you're willing to say things that you know are not true. But that’s what Karl Rove is known for. Bush’s whole pose as a compassionate conservative was fraudulent. His budget was fraudulent. Even the idea that he would be staunchly opposed to nation building was fraudulent. I don't mean that he actually knew at the time of the campaign that he was going to invade Iraq — because I don’t think Cheney had told him yet [laughs]. But the statement on global warming, and the specific pledge to reduce CO2 emissions with the force of law, was part of a larger pattern. He was completely fraudulent from head to toe.
Vote in the $5 Primary and force Al Gore to face the draft.
Helmet tip to John.
BTW: Ofherself (my youngest), Ofjoshua, and I are going to make the trip into exotic Yakima tomorrow afternoon to see Gore's movie. If any Yakimanians are interested in joining us, please send me an email.
