Lileks: Dems prefer Bush Losing to Catching Bin Laden
Just a tasteFor the last few weeks Iâve had this gnawing belief that bin Laden got lucky by attacking during Bushâs term. Conventional wisdom says the opposite, because Bush fought back. But heâs the enemy now. I ask my Democrat friends what theyâd rather see happen â Bush reelected and bin Laden caught, or Bush defeated and bin Laden still in the wind. Theyâre all honest: theyâd rather see Bush defeated. (Theyâre quick to insist that theyâd want Kerry to get bin Laden ASAP. Although the details are sketchy.) Of course this doesnât mean theyâre unpatriotic, etc., obligatory disclaimers, et cetera. But letâs be honest. People are coming up with websites that demonstrate ingenious technology for spraying anti-Bush slogans on the sidewalks; it would be nice if they sprayed "DEFEAT TERRORISM" or "STOP AL QAEDA" now and then. Wouldnât it? Is that too much to ask? RTWT, as they say... Posted by: Frank G 2004-06-21 |
