The Tennessean writes, The origins of a political flier that mocks President Bush and children with disabilities has created a political firestorm in West Tennessee and is being reviewed by the Lauderdale County prosecutor. The Republicans chastise the Democrats, the Democrats blame Karl Rove, blah, blah, blah...
Another surprise, this one by al Qaeda, was unreeled last night by ABC News. On videotape, a terrorist raghead, his weapon at the ready, warns that American streets will soon run "red with blood" to punish the Great Satan for electing, and threatening to re-elect, George W. and Dick Cheney. In earlier days such a threat from such a mortal enemy would have assured the re-election of the president. But election-eve terror worked in Spain, and who knows who the Americans are now. We'll get a clue next Tuesday.
BAGHDAD -- Leaders and supporters of the anti-U.S. insurgency say their attacks in recent weeks have a clear objective: The greater the violence, the greater the chances that President Bush will be defeated on Tuesday and the Americans will go home. "If the U.S. Army suffered numerous humiliating losses, [Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John] Kerry would emerge as the superman of the American people," said Mohammad Amin Bashar, a leader of the Muslim Scholars Association, a hard-line clerical group that vocally supports the resistance. Resistance leader Abu Jalal boasted that the mounting violence had already hurt Mr. Bush's chances. "American elections and Iraq are linked tightly together," he told a Fallujah-based Iraqi reporter. "We've got to work to change the election, and we've done so. With our strikes, we've dragged Bush into the mud."
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said his wife simply made a mistake when she said she didn't know if first lady Laura Bush has ever held "a real job."Only an idiot wouldn’t love her.
"She misspoke, as many of us do in life. And I've misspoken. How many times have I misspoken or the president or somebody else?" Kerry said in an interview for broadcast Monday on NBC's "Today" show.
Kerry said he loves his wife's "outspokenness. I think Americans love her. Because she's authentic. She speaks her mind. And she tells the truth. And Americans want the truth."
Cheesed-off readers from Wisconsin e-mailed us last month when Kerry referred to the Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field as "Lambert Field." You'd think Kerry wouldn't have fumbled that Frenchified name, but Football Fans for Truth also notes Kerry's infamously bungled praise of the Ohio State Buckeyes... during a visit to Michigan.
And it cites a third gridiron gripe about the Massachusetts Democrat, complete with photographic proof: "John Kerry throws a football like a girl." The group zaps the senator for other athletic offenses as well, including:
- "Kerry told a radio interviewer that his favorite Red Sox player was Eddie Yost. Eddie Yost never played for the Sox."
- "Kerry once praised 'Manny Ortez' of the Red Sox. There's no Manny Ortez on the Sox lineup – or indeed, any other MLB roster. Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz play for the Red Sox. Maybe all baseball players' names sound alike to the Democrat nominee."
- "When Kerry threw the first pitch at a Red Sox-Yankees game, he did not throw from the pitcher's mound – yet still bounced the ball before it reached home plate. He then blamed his namby-pamby throw on the catcher, a National Guard soldier and Iraq war veteran: 'I held back,' Kerry told reporters. 'He was very nervous. I tried to lob it gently.' Conclusion: John Kerry throws a baseball worse than a girl."
- His elitist attempt to blame a Secret Service agent for a fall while skiing.
- One we'll add: Kerry's snotty jab at President Bush's bicycle accident, even though the senator himself also fell off his bike.
Football Fans for Truth asserts that "America deserves a President who knows the difference between an airport and a football field."

"We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases," [John] Edwards said, referring to federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research. " ... When John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going get up out of that wheelchair and walk again."
On Oprah's Wednesday 'voting party' show featuring very important celebrities like P. Diddy (Vote or Die!), Drew Barrymore, Christina Aguilera, suffragette Cameron Diaz took to shock tactics to get the female vote out.
After a discussion on lynching and the vote, Diaz spoke of the dire consequences for women if they sit out this election:
Ms. DIAZ: We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. We could lo--if you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote. But if you think that you have a right to your body, and you have a right to say what happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should vote, and those are the...
WINFREY: It's your voice.
Ms. DIAZ: It's your voice. It's your voice, that's your right.
