The former were forced to concede that, as a John Edwards adviser put it,
the visit was a "daring move and great politics."


"Great politics", sure. Obviously it was great politics. Daring? Hardly,
and no one was forced to concede that point.

Funny thing about editorials, even those in the WSJ: just like the Usenet,
you can say pretty much anything you want.

QED. If he does something right, it is just politics. If he does something
you don't like, it is business as usual.

Or perhaps you had not noticed how cynical your post was?

That's obviously your impression. Suffice to say, it's not shared by all.
In particular, your definition of "something right" is by no means
universal.

Not noticed? It was *intended* to be cynical. I have a very cynical
opinion of political leadership, Bush included.

Whereas I think sometimes politicians, even Bush, will do something because
they think it is the right thing to do.

You are welcome to your *opinion*. You should leave "QED" out of it, as
that implies you are stating a fact.

QED: you can say anything you want on Usenet.
