Combined Brainpower of Dems Yields, Not New U.S. Strategy, but Just a New Insult

In lieu of actually having any sort of strategy whatsoever to prevent another 9-11, Dem leadership likes to all get together and agree to say the same criticisms of GWB. This month a phrase many top Dems are using is "dangerously incompetent."  Examples:

Senator Biden:  "These guys have priorities that are backwards and they’re dangerously, dangerously incompetent."

Senator Ted Kennedy: "President Bush continues to see Iraq through the same rose-colored glasses he’s always used. He assures the American people that we are winning, even though even his policies have been dangerously incompetent and Iraq’s future and the lives of our troops hang so perilously on the precipice of a new disaster."

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid: "To me it shows how dangerously incompetent [Bush] is.”

Senator Debbie Stabenow spoke in front of a red sign that said, "Dangerously Incompetent" -- except from a photo it looked like a comment on her!

Isn't it amazing that the Senate Dems all get together, and work up something they want to present in unison to the U.S. public, and it's not even an attempt at a new policy or a new strategy? It's just a new stupid insult? What good are these people trying to accomplish?

Doesn't it seem a bit duplicitous that they don't appear on one podium or release one statement signed by all -- but instead go around all parroting the same phrase, as if it just popped into their heads that second?

"We can do better," they like to say. But evidently all they really want to do is make up better insults.

I just ordered a new digital camera, a Panasonic Lumix LX1. 8 megapixels, image stabilization, raw format, 16:9 aspect ratio, video capability -- it's pretty cool. Some reports say that it can be noisy over 100 ISO, but I'm willing to put up with that to get the rest of the great features. Photos here should be cooler than ever starting in a week or so.
