From someone trying to sell
Iraq as just war

==========

20040622 Brooks:

Judging candidates
By random faith-based standards:
More Brooksian spin.

By the way, this article looked, even more than usual, like Brooks does not believe in what he is advocating...

Serve and Volley...

Brooks specializes
in GOP talking points
presented as fact.

the talking dog

"Hey I just thought of another great reason why Democratic candidates should abandon their base and be more like Republicans! This time I have statistics."

Faith-based government
works great: look at the Mid-East.
Silly Dems, try it!

Steve Huntley

Dawg!

What a beautifically poetic compliment to my post just before! It melds well with the one right afterwards, too!

You realize we've been at this dueling haiku thing for over a third of a year now? Joltin' Joe's got nothing on this...

(: Tom :)

Haiku is the perfect compliment to Elton's posts-- conveniently summarized for busy busy busy people. And when it works... there is no substitute!

Anyway, I never thought of it as "dueling"... more like "complementing..."

Now get back to haiku-ing!!!

the talking dog

hahahaha!

Actually, I was thinking of dueling Brando's (with John Belushi and Peter Boyle) on SNL many moons ago...

Religious campaign
Is what Bush put his faith in:
Kerry must follow

No one believes Bush
when he tries to chase his tail
in the WhiteWash House

==========

When they won't turn their platform
Into faith-based screed.

==========

Lying loony left

The same old story

Needs to be a requirement
To run for office

==========

20040713 Pretzelboy logic:

Pay no attention
To the lack of any truth
In the things Smirk says

20040717 Brooks:

Brooksian trifecta:

I long for the day
When rich people can be rich
And ignore morals

Kerry and Edwards
Keep using the word "values":
They don't have the right!"

Blue blood Democrat
Pretends he shares our values
Unlike pRezNit Smirk

==========

20040717 Negroponte:

Iraq can only
Make offers that the U.S.
Is loath to refuse

==========

20040719 Safire:

His wife's livelihood

"Bush speaks the plain truth!"
At least it seems to be true
For dishonest hacks

==========

20040720 Lieberman / Kyl:
We have turned the ride!
Iraqis make their own rules
Under martial law

The same stuff they give Safliar
To mess his head up?

==========

20040721 Sestanovich:

Random equivalence
In intelligence failures
"Clinton did it too!"

==========

20040722 Smrik:

No comment from Smirk:
God hasn't let him know yet
Who he needs to smite

==========

20040728 Safire:

Arguments against straw men
I invent myself

Looks like Bush flip flops
Can't be hid: quick, slime Kerry!
Straddle this, Safliar...


==========

20040731 Brooks:

Brooks doubleshot:

Brooks has dared to dream
That his Repugnicant schemes
Sell like free ice cream

==========

20040906? Brooks:

Another case of
Repugnicant jujitsu:
Chide foes for your acts.

And turns into a tyrant
Just like pRezNit Smirk

==========

20040921 Brooks:

Redefine Kerry
So it's easy to slam him:
This is how Brooks works

==========

20040922 Kristof:

Dirty politics
Are now used by both parties:
Dems should cut it out!

==========

Safliar obsessesd on
Repug setup of memos
And blames Dems again
