The Kerry Equation: G + I(L) = P

The Tribune-Review's editorial page editor, Colin McNickle on Kerry's formula for winning the presidency:

John Kerry is counting on a lot of Dimmycrat cipherin' to win on Nov. 2. You know the equation -- G + I(L) = P. That is, gullibility plus ignorance times lies equals the presidency. If Mr. Kerry wins in nine days, the foundation of his victory will rest on economic perceptions based on falsehoods.

Political rhetoric by its very nature is hyperbolic. But there's a fine line between exaggeration to make a point and simply lying. Kerry is blind to the line. And his lies, typically laced with the language of fear and spiked with can-you-believe-it class envy, range from the illogical to the outrageous.

You should read the whole thing.

Bush is dumber than a doornail! Everything he responds to has been written by people smarter than him.
