    Yes, Elizabeth Edwards’ letter is very heartfelt and eloquent. Unfortunately, no amount of emotion will influence Bush about speaking to Cindy Sheehan or encourage him to tell the real truth about why we went into Iraq. It is all about politics for this President and he is not about to risk his political neck for some sobbing mother on the side of the road. Bush’s real message: Your kids don’t matter.

    DA - It is a dark and lonely job that I do. Stand by for more observations about such unusual and earth shaking happenings.

    If Jim has actually read Elizabeth Edwards' letter, then I think it's quite indicative of who he is as a person to comment as he did.

    I would certainly agree that PPJ's job is futile. I mean, non poo-poo Bush humor is really wasted around here. But I think comparing Lizzy to a dog was cruel. :-) -C

    Cliff - I agree. Should I apologize to the dog? ;-) (Okay, ten slaps for bad taste, but its PPJ's Happy Thursday!) Kitt - I actually "channeled" the letter that Mrs. Edwards wrote. And I must say there is nothing like jumping on the ole band wagon.

    Here Cliff and PPJ aptly represent the level of class we have come to expect from a dittohead.

    Compassionate conservativism at its finest.
