George Rebane
A correspondent of undeclared political bent sent me the following observation making the rounds. “The Democrats have suddenly developed a keen sense of morality. John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the Democratic National Convention for having an affair and lying about it. In his place, Bill Clinton will be speaking.”
Now with Biden in the ship
with his voluminous flapping lip
to contribute a bountiful trove
of material for Karl Rove.
McCain presents an acknowledged conundrum for the conservatives. But, the Republicans don’t know how to handle their Congressional candidates either. Those up for re-election promise that this time they will not behave like drunken sailors on shore leave with poker winnings in their pockets, while the new GOP hopefuls promise not to act like their veteran colleagues. Tough to spin. With or without their white hats, the Democrats have no such problems, since they have always known what to do with other people’s money.
