"Poll: Bush support holds despite Iraq, 9/11 hearings," headlines a USA Today item. We are reminded of something Dick Cheney said way back when in response to a reporter's tendentious query. It was with these words that the future vice president won our heart for all time:
I disagree with the premise of your question.
In this case, we disagree with the premise of the headline. DESPITE Iraq and the 9/11 hearings? How about BECAUSE OF Iraq and the 9/11 hearings? A lot of us out here are inspired by GW's cojones in staying the course in Iraq, as we blogged yesterday, and as for the 9/11 hearings? The Bush bashers -- both on the commission and sitting on the other side of the table in the hearings -- have thoroughly discredited the entire process, to GW's advantage.

Right on!!! [Uh oh, I'm dating myself]
Because of, not in spite of!
Sounds like a new war cry. ;)

Groovy, Pam!
Sorry, just kidding. I've been trying to get that one back into the common slang for too many years. Here, let's try some really groovy slogans out...
Bush is still GROOVY, despite the fact that he's a war-mongering-blood-for-oil-pig?
Uh...Bush is really groovy, despite the fact that Halliburton has entered-his-mind-and-is-using-thought-control-on-him?
Um....well, I'm really not sure QUITE what is going on, man, but I know that Bush is bad, and it's not groovy...
Well, anyway, peace. Got a bong I gotta go tend to. Groovy, man.
Oh, did I mention "far out?"

Hi, Pam. 'Love your suggestion. Ignore that juvenile Al Franken wannabe who is just as unfunny as his hero. Rick did get ONE thing right, though. He's "not sure QUITE what is going on." In fact, he doesn't have a clue.
