The Politburo Diktat

Look at that high-energy team! Why, they are just crackling with optimistic energy! Glowing with young, positive...er...glowiness.

Oh shit...

They look like a clatch of counter-revolutionary friends of Aleksandr Kerensky when told that the Winter Palace had been stormed.

It's like the punchline to the classic joke: Beige...I think I'll paint the ceiling beige.

Blonde on the left's pretty cute though.

Heh. You, comrades, may see ennui; I see quiet satisfaction at how blurry they've made their candidate.

The last "intelligent", wonky, micromanaging president we had was Jimmy Carter. I read the NYT article. When are these people going to realize they're worshipping borderline autism, not intelligence?

Do you get the impression that the campaign puppy mascot just died? Kerry is being told of Fido's demise in the NY Times photo. In the first picture, the guy on the left (kind of looks like Russel Crowe)looks like he just voided in his pants. So sad. Should have got the parvo shot!

The staff was pouting because of their treatment by Kerry. His words were harsh:

"I don't care what your wrote for me to say! It hasn't been reviewed by the committee first. You all know it has to be passed by the committee, then edited by me, and then reassessed by the committee before I can incorporated in a speech. Until then, I'm going to stick with the Iraq is the new Vietnam theme and highlight my LONG four months of leadership building experience in the Mekong delta (and possibly Cambodia). Now, where are my hair and make-up people? Botox! BOTOX now! I'm on in 5 minutes!"
