Snark Attack
FDR and JFK are historical Democrats whom Republicans invoke almost as one of their own. But this week's Democratic National Convention may have a first: Republicans are already saying Barack Obama's speech could have been said at the GOP-fest, too. Yeah, but all of it? I can't imagine that party's faithful quoting Obama on his family's successful home purchase through a federal program, his criticism of the shaded truth coming from the Bush administration about the war or "the long political darkness" of the past four years.

Do you suppose George W. Bush would have an easier time pronouncing "nuclear" if he switched to Spanish? Not likely. It's the same word as in English -- nuke-you-ler in Bush-speak.

Ron Reagan gives a speech to delegates, then joins MSNBC in his "other" role as an on-air commentator. Of course, it's hard to ask yourself tough questions, but the answers sure come easy. Then most on-air panels these days are full of politicians, activists and former pooh-bahs.

A while ago, the New Republic reported allegations from Pakistani officials that the Bush administration was demanding pre-election captures of al-Qaida biggies, including one for announcement the first three days of the convention. The Pakistanis didn't announce any capture until the day of John Kerry's speech. Let's assume the day difference means Team Bush has been cleared of playing politics with national security, OK?
