Frank Rich has been hanging out on Broadway toooooooooo long…not

EVERYTHING is a sexual image — (i.e. Rich today: “…..from Mr. Kerry’s

toy-soldier “reporting for duty” salute in Boston to the special Madison

Square Garden runway for Mr. Bush’s acceptance speech, a giant phallus

thrusting him into the nation’s lap, or whatever.”) And Frank Rich is now

claiming President Bush is a great actor…..a lot of things a liberal might

say about George Bush, but being a great actor is a new one.

I thought we were getting attacked for the subtle “cross” imagery of the

stage; now it’s some kind of porno/macho thing?!

It’s amazing how desperate Dems have to attribute a Republican ahead in the

polls to some type of sinister Manchurian candidate subliminal plot, rather

than the actual fact that people find the wind-surfing, flip flopping,

taller, thinner version of Teddy Kennedy unappealing and unacceptable on the

merits and on the issues. These are also the same people (note, Susan

Estrich) who apparently think the country was tricked out of having their

heart’s desire….President Dukakis in 1988. Are they serious?!

Issues matter guys!! That’s what elections are about. And YOUR guys are on

the wrong side of most of them — from refusing to fight the Cold War, and

trying to gut the military and intel budgets — even after the 1990s

terrorist attacks on US interests, to refusing to fight communism in our

hemisphere, and opposing President Clinton’s Defense of Marriage Act and

supporting the heinous practice of partial birth abortion, while voting for

every tax increase in sight and opposing President Bush’s tax cuts for

married people, kids, small businesses, etc. Despite the mainstream press

wanting to hide that record — it’s not possible to do so anymore. It’s not

acting or what the stages look like. At the end of the day, it’s issues –

and the NY Times hasn’t gotten it for a long time….since about 1972 when

they didn’t know anyone who voted for Richard Nixon and were shocked,

shocked, by the landslide….
