NYT Op-Ed cries 'Bad monkey!'
It really is despicable when the Vice President of the United States of America tries to sell a load of crap to the American public.
This is despicable politics. It's not just polarizing - it also undermines the efforts of the Justice Department and the Central Intelligence Agency to combat terrorists in America. Every time a member of the Bush administration suggests that Islamic extremists want to stage an attack before the election to sway the results in November, it causes patriotic Americans who do not intend to vote for the president to wonder whether the entire antiterrorism effort has been kidnapped and turned into part of the Bush re-election campaign. The people running the government clearly regard keeping Mr. Bush in office as more important than maintaining a united front on the most important threat to the nation.
'Our side is the only real American side' is not a campaign strategy. Bad monkey! (via Daily Kos)
