With apologies to Jeff Goldstein:
News flash:
Dem vp hopeful John Edwards cut to the chase last night on ABCNEWS NIGHTLINE:
ABC’S BOB WOODRUFF: “He has avoided the kind of negative attacks that can make national news, although recently, he has stepped up his rhetoric.”
SEN. JOHN EDWARDS (D-NC) (clip of a speech): “I’d say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you’ve lost your mind.”
WOODRUFF: “There’s been criticism that you have been too soft.”
EDWARDS: “Do I seem soft to you?”
(emphasis mine)
Yes, Senator, you seem soft. Not quite “Charmin” soft, but “Pillbury Doughboy” soft, soft enough to go “Hmm hmmm!” after I poke your tummy and right before you file the mother of all lawsuits against me. Of course, since I’m voting for Bush, I must be crazy enough to attempt it, right?
UPDATE
Alas, no bunnies made it into this post.
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!!! DON’T POKE HIM IN THE STOMACH!! GO FOR THE EYE!!
