(Sept. 29): “If you attack [our prevaricatin’ prez] on everything he’s been wrong about, you
appear unfocused and you sound diffuse. But if you narrow your attack to only one or two of his

New York Times (Oct. 1): “The sheer scale of Mr. Bush’s foreign policy failures insulates him
from its political consequences: voters aren’t ready to believe how badly the war in Iraq is going,
let alone how badly America’s moral position in the world has deteriorated.” Now, after the first
debate, our last best hope is that they’re getting ready.
