This is just part of it.

(Excerpt: memo from Karl Rove to George W.)
You know what I’m talking about, W. Say I’m the Undertaker’s hombre, not yours. I’d be playing it exactly the way he’s playing it. Leave the best till last. Leave the Achilles heel exposed till right about now, 10 days before the election, when the undecideds finally pay attention. Then -- wham! Hit ’em with:
How safe will America be with the man who let 9-11 happen?
Can’t ya just hear that Massachusetts drone, Dubya?
“George W. Bush, how can you claim to be the homeland’s stand-tall sheriff, the unflinching go-it-alone leader, the decisive, these-colors-don’t-run commander in chief when you let 20 no-account sand fleas slip through the fingers of your CIA, your FBI, your National Security Agency and, in a few short minutes, bring down two of the world’s biggest skyscrapers and dive-bomb the global nerve center of the world’s (and history’s) most powerful military? You have the unmitigated gall to call yourself the “security president,” the man who’ll keep America safe? You lost that title three years, one month, and 15 days ago, Governor -- and you’re fired!”
Frankly, Dubya, I dunno how we counter this. All he’s got to do is re-run that tape where you hear about 9-11 in the school, where your face looks like a groundhog just before the truck squishes it. You knew then that it was all over, didn’t you, Dubya? Fess up.
I know, I know: We deflected the blame. Even when Clarke came along we kept him away from you. Blamed 9-11 on Clinton, the CIA, Clinton, the United Nations, Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, and Clinton -- anyone but the guy who was on the bridge, the guy whose watch it was.
Just think what we would have done if it had been Al Gore up there. We’d have crucified him. By now he wouldn’t just have been impeached; he’d be serving 3,000 consecutive life terms. In Alabama. It’s only because the other guys are such pussyfooting quiche-sucking girlie boys that they haven’t been hammering you to a pulp for the last three years.
Now for the serious part of this post: What will it take for the Democratic party to grow some balls?
