Feeling down? In need of a little pick-me-up? A dose of comic relief maybe? Try the "Letters to the Editor" section of the Boston Globe:
Because, as we all know, Kerry's been doing everything he can to avoid mentioning his service in Vietnam, right? We all know that anything that comes out reflecting negatively on Kerry OBVIOUSLY has to be the brainchild of Karl Rove and his evil cadre of right-wing goons. Sheesh.
"Flip-flop myth"? Open your eyes and ears, you blind partisan stooge. Try thinking for yourself instead of reading off your dog-eared set of Michael Moore flashcards. And this "painful unemployment situation" you're whining about is not that different than the low level of unemployment this country saw under Clinton, which you and the rest of the leftist frisbee-pilots were holding in high exultation as a shining jewel in Clinton's crown. And if our country's reputation has been trashed in the eyes of socialist shithole countries and tyrannical despots throughout the world...boo hoo. That really breaks me up inside.
If, by that, you mean restoring control of the nation's political agenda to the likes of MoveOn.org and the rest of George Soros', Peter Lewis', and Steven Bing's well-financed 527 Committees, which have outspent the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth by millions and millions of dollars...then, um...no. Sorry, James, but Kerry and the Democrats brought this shitstorm on themselves. Screw them and the donkeys they rode in on.
REGARDLESS OF one's political affiliation, credit must be given to Karl Rove, the president's political adviser, for successfully forcing voters to think about only one thing during the weeks following the Democratic National Convention: John Kerry's alleged failure as a military hero in the Vietnam War.

The charge is baseless, of course, but it has stuck to the image-makers' stories -- like the flip-flop myth -- in such a way that issues that matter have entirely disappeared: the failure of our mission in Iraq, the painful unemployment situation, the spiraling costs of health cares, the trashed reputation of this country, the selling of our forests and land to private interests, etc.

Is it possible that we citizens can wrest control of our political agenda from Rove and the hysterical Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? Is it already too late?
