Recovering Clinton groupie Dick Morris -- God bless the Energizer Toe Sucker's heart -- appears to be channeling our blog. He just told Fox&Friends that the wolf ad we blogged about here the other day is the best thing since sliced bread (actually, since the anti-Goldwater "Daisy" ad). We couldn't agree more. Then he used our very metaphor, saying we were all sitting around the campfire, ignoring the wolves that were getting ready to attack. That would be the forces of darkness (the devil in our human nature) forever waiting just outside the campfire of civilization (our better angels) to move in for the kill when the light goes out.
The brilliance of the ad: It taps into our primal, Darwinian fear of dark forces, whether from without -- the terrorists -- or from within -- the more unruly side our own human nature or the willful anti-Americanism of those nattering nabobs of negativism whose relentless trashing of the "City upon a Hill" lends aid and comfort to you-know-who.
Hey, everyone, forget about the missing explosives cover-up.
But, if you must change the subjective terms of the discourse, do some reflexive MSM-style fact-checking of the Wolves ad.

My own reading of the wolves ad is the gut knowledge that GW won't cut and run, while who knows what JFK might do, depending upon which way the political winds are blowing.

Grady Little didn't want to cut and run, either. Look where that got him.

Well, you little cutie, I had to Google that one, as I am no Sox fan (except when they're winning) . . . I learned something and thank you for affording me the opportunity.
