Dana Milbank says 'Bad monkey!'

Apparently he thinks that saying "the terrorists" want Bush to loose is testing the conventional bounds of political rhetoric.

President Bush and leading Republicans are increasingly charging that Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry and others in his party are giving comfort to terrorists and undermining the war in Iraq -- a line of attack that tests the conventional bounds of political rhetoric.

President Bush, Vice President Cheney, no! Bad monkeys! Dana also starts a list of other bad monkeys on this topic:

• Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), chairman of the Judiciary Committee
• GOP Senate candidate John Thune of South Dakota
• House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (Ill.)
• Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage
• Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.)
• Ann Coulter
• CNN analyst Bill Schneider
