“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…
