Today's Political Rant

Lotsa folks, including the head of the Firefighters Union, are up in arms about the Bush campaign using an image or two of 9/11 in a campaign commercial. This strikes me as outrage for the sake of outrage. I mean, it may be tacky but most of what we see in campaign commercials is tacky. If this is all part of a general Democratic policy of attacking everything Bush does, I think it's going to backfire on them.

In the meantime, we're seeing political writers wasting valuable space debating on the merits of Bill Clinton or John McCain or other fantasy picks as Kerry's veep. Not gonna happen. We're also not going to see Hillary on the ticket, which seems to be upsetting certain right-wing fund raisers who see her as the gift that keeps on giving.
