Outrage at the outrage continues
Marc Racicot and Ed Gillespie are outraged, outraged I tell you that Kerry would dare to criticize the truly remarkable job Bush & Co. are doing in Iraq.
"Pressed repeatedly during his conference call to explain why discussion of the prisoner abuse scandal in Iraq was inappropriate - particularly when Republicans have made the war in Iraq a central campaign issue - Mr. Racicot said linking the prison scandal to fund-raising crossed a line..."
Uh, what line would that be? The line set when Bush used actors to portray firefighters bringing bodies out of the wreckage of the World Trade Center? Or maybe when Commander Codpiece stood in front of a banner proclaiming, "mission accomplished?" Or was it when the fool said of the rising insurgency a year ago, "Bring em on?"
"Rick Davis, a Republican strategist who managed Senator John McCain's campaign against Mr. Bush for their party's presidential nomination in 2000, said the flap reflected a common campaign tactic: 'attack the attacker.'
"'I'm sure they're just flailing,' Mr. Davis said of Mr. Racicot and other Bush backers. 'I'm sure they're trying to do whatever they can from a political perspective to put their finger in the dike, and either change the subject or make the people who are attacking them the issue.'"
