Or some such thing.
Actually I'm going to stay with Suspect-Device for this post as Greg has also linked to more fun from the Daily Advertiser where apparently the problem is still Jane Fonda.
As I continue in my fascination with the similarities of political climate between the 2008 and 1968 Presidential elections, I thoroughly expect to see more and more of an updated version of the "Stab-in-the-back" myth from Vietnam deployed by Republican candidates over the next year. The GOP candidate best suited to carry this bullying, authoritarian message is Rudy. Presidential elections are multi-layered carnivals of intrigue and sideshow. Health care, immigration, and God-willing, flood recovery will be important points. But the real philosophical juice of the 2008 debate will center around authoritarianism vs what remains of our open society framed by the devastating morass of the war. I expect Giuliani to have the upper hand.. politically, not morally... against any of the leading Democratic candidates should he end up as the GOP nominee.
