I guess it's a "why the hell not, there's nothing left to lose" strategem to wave the wave the Vietnam flag in front of the dwindling remnants of the red-meat/Kool-Aid crowd. That said, it's hard not to think at this point that Shrub could literally be mumbling gibberish...
and while most of us here in the United States realize this, you've still got a smidgen of hard core wingnuttia grinding their teeth in unison...which the media dutifully pretends is a viable political faction...even as (link via First Draft) the campaign rallies themselves take on the air of Potemkin Villages, complete with placarded goon squads to rush away any independent thought. Heil Freedom!
All that's left at this point is for Shrub to start tap-dancing on the head of a giant pin while fastening a Medal of Freedom around Nouri Al-Maliki's neck--the Team Bush kiss of death if there ever was one.
If I was in Iraq right now, I think I'd be looking for secure seating to the airport and a plane ticket to pretty much anywhere else.
By the way, kidding aside, here's yet another example of what the administration's managed to accomplish in Mesopotamia. And that's what the media decides they CAN show...imagine what they're holding back.
