HOW TO TALK TO YOUR KID ABOUT THE RED SOX

ESPECIALLY IF YOU RESENTED JOCKS ALL YOUR LIFE


Don’t know what it looks like to insiders, but to us plebes this past week felt like Bush went off the rails for real. OK, first: name your personal legal counsel to the Supreme Court, and make it an EARLY MORNING announcement to upstage the signing in of your CHIEF JUSTICE nominee. Then, give a major speech about terrorism, originally planned for 9/11 last month, on a THURSDAY MORNING, so prime-timers will only see clips and reaction commentary. Here’s Ann Coulter: “Bush has no right to say ‘Trust me.’ He was elected to represent the American people, not to be dictator for eight years….” (I could link to her page, but I am not in the linking vein today.) That’s called “alienating your base.” Have Rove’s kidneys taken over his brain?
