Sixteen Words (friendly reminder)
So much has been made about the now-infamous "sixteen words" from GWB's State of the Union speech, but nowhere near as much about these sixteen words from unpresidential candidate John Kerry, uttered during one of the Democratic primary debates last winter:
I pray the day never comes, but should you once again see bodies of dead American men, women, and children being pulled out of a pile of smoldering rubble, remember these sixteen words and the arrogant stuffed shirt from whom they came.
"I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism. "They are misleading all Americans in a profound way."
