Timing
Timing is everything, right Lizard Boy?
"When President Bush landed on an aircraft carrier and declared victory in Iraq, I think he chose the wrong backdrop for his photo-op," Gephardt said in a transcript of the speech released by his campaign. "If you ask me, if he really wanted to show us the state of affairs, he should have landed on a patch of quicksand."
You mean like the patch you just jumped in?
From a political standpoint, Gephardt's speech may have been ill-timed. It came on the same day that Saddam's sons were killed in a firefight with U.S. troops in Iraq, a development that dominated the news and likely provided a boost to the Bush administration.
This candidacy will self-destruct in 15 seconds.....Tick-tock.
