PILING ON!

September 29, 2003

In football, it’s a fifteen yard penalty and an automatic first down for piling on. In politics, there is no penalty if it works, but the penalty is huge if the strategy doesn’t work. The jury is currently out, but the pile is getting bigger.

Last week kicked off with Al Gore taking the first leap. Everyone, including the Democrats are trying to figure out just what he said and why he jumped. But, not to be out done, Daschle jumped up and down on the Senate floor the next day. People are still scratching their heads over that one.

But, one by one, the sound of 1960 “Peaceniks” could be heard. The week ended with a dissertation by Ed Kennedy. While the speech was more moderate than his buddies, I’m still at a loss as to what he said also. The only thing I’m certain of is that they’re all anti-Bush, anti-war, and duped by Saddam.

Then this weekend we’re hearing from three Democrats who are in Baghdad and they say that Saddam has promised them that the inspectors will have “unfettered” access. I’ll look that word up later but why bother as I’m sure Saddam has his own defintion that’s different from what Webster says.

The pile is getting pretty big and for some reason I feel the need to ask the question, is Bush under there? It seems as though every time the Democrats think they have smashed him he pops up somewhere else. As we begin a new week, and come Tuesday, a new month, we shall see.

PS. Did I mention the Barbara Streisand pile-on? :-)

With elections now just a month away, I wouldn’t be surprised at anything: maybe even holding, clipping, a personal foul here or there, but then I digress in my metaphors.
