You know Dale, just this once I'm inclined to agree with you. It IS fucking ridiculous and there are so many issues that need to be addressed by both sides... but (and you knew there was a but coming)...

This thing was started on Bush's behalf by Karl Rove and his minions and it has hurt Kerry (Kevin G. thinks that's all Kerry talks about- but I know better!) He has no choice but to confront it. Is it possible that you're finding it ridiculous because it's losing it's steam?
