You're exactly right Justin. The ad was a strawman ad, and the Kerry folks unwhitingly walked right into the trap.

Scott Evil — 3/5/2004 7:12:55 PM (archived)

Now Kerry has been completely wiped off the front page, the opinion page, and almost every page between.

By inciting a completely overblown controversy over such a small non-issue, the Kerry people have unwittingly knocked their guy out of the news and effectively destroyed any momentum he might have had coming out of Super Tuesday.

Lets see if they start protesting that the whole controversy was staged! They realy have nothing to sell except, protest, anger, and false crys of "Bush plays unfair".

Heck, they don't even call him "THE SHRUB" anymore. (I wonder why).

Regards,

Scott Evil
