Hope these things don't go in threesAnd here's the second item that I can characterize as the dumbest thing I've read in electoral politics in a while. William Pfaff writes in the International Herald Tribune that Saddam's capture is a negative for Bush's chances at re-election. Glenn at Hipper Critical gives a thorough fisking of this article that I don't think I can top, so I'll reserve my comments to pointing out that the IHT is owned by the New York Times. |
