Well, Bush needs two things: to keep his mouth shut, and to have Kerry continue to flounder in getting his message out.

What DOESN'T help Bush is when boneheads like Rove speak up. Rove is great in the shadows, but like any slug, when you shine a light on him, everyone goes "Eeeeewwwww!"

Rove Targets Kerry Anti-Vietnam Testimony

By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer

NEW YORK - White House strategist Karl Rove said Wednesday that Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) had tarnished the records of fellow Vietnam veterans with his anti-war protests, prompting a blistering response from the Democrat's campaign.

"Who in the hell is Karl Rove, talking about John Kerry's war record?" asked retired Air Force Gen. Merrill McPeak. Another Kerry backer called on President Bush (news - web sites)'s top political adviser to resign.

Rove created a campaign stir when he told The Associated Press that he didn't appreciate Kerry's congressional testimony 33 years ago condemning the actions of some U.S. soldiers upon Kerry's return from the Vietnam War.


Yup, Rove, who was yet another neocon who avoided the war, was offended by Kerry's antiwar remarks. Offended while he sat on his behind back in the states with Rush (pimple butt deferment) and Cheney (better things to do deferment).
