Rear-Guard Action

The war is going well, despite the most fervent wishes of the moonbat far left.

The economy is improving - perhaps even shaping up into a boom.

After a year of wondering whether to run on the economy or the war, the Democrats are faced with an answer: Neither.

So -as Hugh Hewitt notes today, they're reverting to the one approach they still have: sliming everyone.

Mr. Kerry, what's left on the talking points page now that the jobs are being created in record numbers and the U.N. has gotten on board the transformation of Iraq from despotic totalitarian killing machine to nascent democracy?-- the Senate Judiciary Committee convened and the Democrats on the committee put on display for the American voter what is so truly frightening about the prospect of a Democratic presidency and/or a return to Democratic majority in the United States Senate...The back-story is that the DOJ has provided advice to the executive branch on what can and cannot be done to interrogate prisoners. There are memos on the subject. Some have been leaked. Others have not. The Dems want all the memos in order to pick and chose among sentences in an attempt to link the prison abuse scandal to Bush and Ashcroft, as though the memos told the president that he should order the rogue troops in Baghdad to engage in their outlawed behaviors.

In short, Leahy, Ted Kennedy, Joe Biden, and Dick Durbin --between them, not enough intellectual power to stay in the plus column on Jeopardy-- took turns trying to get Ashcroft to admit he had stopped beating his wife.

It seems that, at this point in the campaign, the Dems seem to be hanging their hopes on Abu Ghraib.

They - with the active connivance of the media - are going to try to gin up "Lindygate" into an administrative-rocking scandal.
