It has been said, that John Kerry is a “Flip-Flopper”. Said by those who are quite professional at creating a false impression of their challenger. And for good reason. It’s the only chance they have.
I’ve spoken about this successfully waged fallacy before, but apparently the message still needs to get out on who the real “Flip-Flopper” in this contest is. Thankfully, the nice folks at the Center for American Progress have put together a short sheet listing 20 of the Flip-Flopper-In-Chief’s greatest hits.
To put it all in perspective, they open with this:
Then they list 20 of Bush’s Flips and Flops. They’ve left out quite a few, but on the other hand, unlike the charges against Kerry from Team Bush, these charges are actually sourced so folks can both trust and verify.
(Thanks to the ever-on-the-ball KJO for the find!)
"They call him Flipper, Flipper —
Faster than lightning —
No one you see, is smarter than he!"
Hey, kids! Let’s put on a show! Starring Dubya as our slippery hero, swimming about excitedly and saving us when we get into a jam!
What could possibly go wrong????!
hmmm… except the song leaves out the part where everything he does FLOPS. but that word doesn’t fit into the rhyme scheme….
oh well!
Apparently, flip-flops are the accessory of choice in this hot-Hot-HOT election season.
getcherself a pair! they keep your feet cool when they’re being held to that pesky fire, and keep your hands free to make neat balloon animals to distract your opponents!
Tee hee! They’ll never guess just what krazy hijinks you’ll be up to next!
How transparent. Smacks of the days Pappy was calling his own opponent a "waffler." Can’t they even come up with new insults?
Anne, I guess you’ve never been to Taxacheussets.
