Clinton Campaigns While Mideast Burns
"Three Israeli soldiers and six Palestinians died yesterday in fierce
gunbattles throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip in a day that Israelis
said had turned a civilian uprising into a war," reported the Washington
Times yesterday. Still, the increasing violence hasn't detracted the
president from his important fundraising and campaign duties. Priorities,
priorities.

"October Surprise" Hits Two Days Late
OK. George W. Bush was arrested for misdemeanor drunk driving in 1976.
Fine. That was a long time ago, in Bush's youth, and well before driving
under the influence ... thanks primarily to the efforts of groups such as
Mothers Against Drunk Driving ... became such a social taboo. And fact is,
Bush didn't use his family's influence to duck his responsibility and he his
dues. In addition, he readily has admitted "youthful indiscretions" in the
past and quit drinking altogether some 16 years ago.
Now ... was the revelation of the incident politically motivated? Duh. Of
course it was.
But the real issue is how in the HELL does a $100 million+ presidential
campaign NOT know about an incident like this? And if it DID know, why in
the HELL didn't they address it a LONG time ago? How in the HELL does a
presidential campaign let something like this hang out there until 5 days
before D-Day, betting America's future that no one would "find out"? And
how in the HELL did all those other Republican presidential candidates NOT
find this information during the PRIMARY?
This has got to be one of the most brutal examples of political incompetence
in the history of the GOP. Fred Barnes of the "Weekly Standard" was right:
"Republicans never blow an opportunity to blow an opportunity." Many
Republicans have worried for a long time that Bush's Austin team wasn't
quite ready for prime time. Seems those fears were more than justified.
Let's hope the American voters are smarter than the boobs who tried to hide
this incident and allowed this stink bomb to go off so close to the finish
line.

Trick or Treat
"Peter Roff, a well-known Washington political strategist, says he was out
trick-or-treating with his children Tuesday night in the left-leaning
streets of Alexandria, Va., 'and we come up to a house that has standing in
front of it a life-size cardboard cutout of Al Gore ... nothing else, just a
Gore cutout ... with a sign attached to it that says: 'This is the scariest
thing we could think of.' "
- John McCaslin's "Inside the Beltway," 11/2/00
*******************************
Goin' Down the Toilet
"Faced with defections to Ralph Nader, the Gore campaign and its allies keep
talking about 'energizing the base' of the Democratic Party. That led
Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Dick Polman yesterday to quote Democratic
activist James Carville: '[W]henever I hear a campaign talk about a need to
energize the base, that's a campaign that's going down the toilet. It's a
pretty good indication that ... they're getting shelled back into their own
bunker.' Mr. Carville made the remark in his first book, referring to the
election of 1992 when President Bush was struggling to lock up his base as
many Republicans defected to Ross Perot."
- Greg Pierce's "Inside Politics," 11/2/00

No Wonder Sonny Dumped Her
"Cher is so panic-stricken at the thought of a Bush victory that she has
postponed a trip to Europe to stay in America and campaign for Gore,
ABCNews.com reports. The singer-actress spells out the case for her man with
her usual taste and subtlety: 'Has everyone lost their f---ing minds?
Doesn't anybody remember the illustrious Reagan-Bush years when people had
no money and no jobs? What has happened to people's memories? It's like they
have Alzheimer's or something.'"
- WSJ.com's OpinionJournal, 11/2/00

D.C. Dufus
"(I)f George W. Bush is a lightweight, Al Gore is a deep lightweight: deep
on the surface, profoundly shallow down below. ... He is the kind of
intellect that parrots whatever cyber-sophistry is dressed up in the livery
of au courant sophistication by phony futurists, M.I.T.-media-lab-type
gurus, Tom Peters-type management theory shills and snake-oil Internet
'visionaries'. ... Al Gore gives intelligence a bad name."
- New York Observer's "Edgy Enthusiast" columnist, Ron Rosenbaum
***************************
The Lyin' King
"Why should we believe you will tell the truth as president if you don't
tell the truth as a candidate?"
- Question posed to Al Gore by Democrat presidential candidate Bill Bradley
during their primary election earlier this year
********************************
Surprise! Gore's College Plan "Misleading"
"Wonder which of the issues that Al Gore is campaigning on scores highest
with focus groups? The answer came during the recent debates, when the Vice
President thumped for giving 'more choices to parents to send their kids to
college with a $10,000 tax deduction for college tuition.' Now, given both
the premium that the economy is putting on an education and with the cost of
obtaining that education rising faster than earnings, it's surely no
surprise that any plan to help families provide a college education for
their children falls on receptive ears. Here's the problem: It's more a
subsidy than a cut; the $10,000 is misleading, and in the long run the
proposal is not likely to help anyone who might actually need it. It's
mostly the old bait-and-switch: the promise of tax relief, followed by the
restrictions and sub-clauses that would rule out a lot of people who think
they might benefit."
- Wall Street Journal, 11/2/00

Mr. President, Tear Down This Wall
"'If we take down the wall, the people will leave,' said East German
officials during the Cold War. This mantra might also describe the position
of school employee unions and other opponents of educational freedom in the
United States. But despite their opposition to school choice, it is
inevitable that the wall preventing educational freedom will come down. Free
people and a free marketplace are the foundations of America. The most
prevalent argument of school choice opponents is that educational freedom
will destroy public schools because children will leave to attend private
schools, taking their government funding with them. The argument itself is
an indictment of public schools and their ability to keep customers that are
not captives. If they admit that tearing down the wall will lead to a mass
exodus then they have admitted that they are not satisfying their true
customers parents and children."
- Lori Yaklin, executive director of the Michigan School Board Leaders
Association, Washington Times, 11/2/00
