Hackett's been taking Dean lessons...! i LIKE it...!

[Paul Hackett is] a Marine Reservist and an Iraq war veteran who opposed the war before the U.S. invasion and remains a harsh critic of President Bush's policy there. He is also a Democrat battling to win a special House election in Ohio in a district that has been in Republican hands for more than three decades.

Hackett told USA Today that Bush's taunting line, "Bring 'em on!" was "the most incredibly stupid comment I've ever heard a president of the United States make." He also told the newspaper that, while he was willing to put his life on the line for the president, "I've said that I don't like the son-of-a-[expletive] that lives in the White House.

"He called the commander in chief a son-of-a-[expletive]," said NRCC spokesman Carl Forti. "We decided to bury him."

"I said it. I meant it. I stand by it," [Hackett] said in a phone interview. "In this district, we need more straight-talking, straight-shooting politicians."

in the long run, "burying" truth and truth-tellers never works... and, hey, paul... you don't need me to tell you this, but it ain't only in your district that we need "straight-talking, straight-shooting politicians..." you say what has to be said, fella, and don't let anybody stop you...

MAJOR BEEF WITH WAPO: the article is titled, "GOP Says It Will 'Bury' Name-Calling Candidate" and was run under a dan balz byline... i think dan's last name might be more fitting if he insisted on a headline that didn't goose the dems and boost the r's...
