Secretary of State Colin Powell blasted Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe on Friday for claiming that President Bush went AWOL from the National Guard in 1972, saying the DNC chief’s attack was “scurrilous.”
What I find most interesting about this charge is the fact that they think it would have any traction. This same charge was made four years ago in the last election cycle and it never picked up any real momentum and no new facts have surfaced since then. So to have to go back into the Democrat attack toolbox and come out with a ploy that was ineffective four years ago I think really says something about what they think are winning issues. Are they also going to rehash President Bush’s DWI just days before the reelection again? If they keep this up, then this election will be labeled a rerun in the TV Guide.

Terry, Terry, Terry. The Clinton Playbook is becoming very old, very tired, very cliched. Very embarrassing to critique the GOP President’s military record from a party whose members have worked overtime in the past 30 years to shrink that military. PUH-leeze try something new. You should be relieved that your job security is intact, now that the Dizzy Dean Children’s Crusade is sputtering out. Now that the grownups are back in control, at least act like a grownup.
People have often joked about how much Terry McAuliffe has done for the Republican Party. No wonder their is so much in-fighting in the Democrat ranks to try to get this Clintonite replaced.
