The shame of all this DUI talk:

If Bush had only shown the common sense and foresight to be sure he drove drunk down a deserted road with an unmarried single woman in his car, drove off a bridge into the water, leave the woman to drown by herself, and cover it all up... he coulda carried Massachusetts next week.

I love watching the hypocrisy of you demolibs trying to equate this to Clinton-Gore crimes. Where's all of your "this is his personal life" talk?

You're telling me that felonious perjury while in office doesn't disqualify Clinton from the presidency -- BUT a .10 DUI (*barely* above the legal limit, BTW, but, admittedly, illegal) 24 years ago somehow DOES disqualify Bush.

Clinton-Gore-Carville have overplayed their hand of Gotcha politics.

Backfire!

People smell the desparation and fear implicit in this lame attempt at Gotcha politics. Thursday was the last possible day to make news that would impact the election:

1. Needed to get in the late-night comic cycle for Friday (many repeat on Monday).
2. Needed to get in the Sunday spin-show cycle
3. Needed to get a ripple going in the polls that would show up before Monday.

Timing: excellent -- perfect even
Execution: OK (the paper trail wasn't well-planned if someone can trace it to a demo delegate in 2 hours...)
Strategy: Completely misjudged. And that's what will render this ineffective.

Fact is, it IS a data point. An insignificant one. As insignificant as toke-em-up Gore's pot smoking.

Far more salient data points exist and they all point to the fact that Bush is the better man and that Gore is an unreconstructed liar...
