“Won’t Be Fooled Again”

John Kerry’s stump-speech applause line “BRING IT ON” is off the mark.

The Bush line that he ought to incorporate for himself is “Fool me Once, Shame on… Shame on… you? Fool me… Won’t Be Fooled Again.” Imagine the crowd’s applause, laughing at that bizarre bit of Bush speechery…

…And laughing at the man in front of them.

During the misery-inducing campaign through 2003, he awkwardly defended his “Yes” vote for the Iraqi War Resolution by saying that “Bush misled me.”

Neo-neo conservative pundit Christopher Hitchens penned this article, with the line “Vote for me. I’m easily fooled.” Somewhere I have an essay from within the last month from someone saying “If I Could figure it out without having access to top-secret Intelligence briefings…”

But the deed is done, and we meander forward.
