The Los Angeles Times reports that yesterday the Bush campaign sent former New York Mayor Giuliani to Spring Green, Wisconsin with a Debate Briefing Book for Kerry:
After summoning Kerry's traveling press contingent to a motel five minutes from the resort where the Democrat was rehearsing for his Miami encounter with Bush, Giuliani offered reporters a "debate briefing book" for Kerry. Drafted by the Bush campaign as a spoof, it cites conflicts between "your current position" and "your record" on Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Israel and other national security topics.
The Debate Briefing Book looks at several issues and includes Senator Kerry's current position on them. The book then lists Senator Kerry's record and then suggests an attack that he could use against President Bush during Thursday's debate.
Regarding Iraq the briefing book suggests that Kerry "pretend like no position you have ever taken matters.... Nobody knows what you really believe anyway."
The Debate Briefing Book covers:
Iraq
Diplomacy
Intelligence
Troop realignment
Afghanistan
North Korea
Israel
Cuba
Patriot Act
Homeland Security
You can access the Briefing Book here (pdf).
Sorry about that.

Sweet Jeebus, but was that use of a typewriter font for the parody deliberate? :)
