Bush Laments ‘Tone’ In Washington, Says His Opponents Want Terrorists To Win »

On Tuesday, in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, President Bush said the worst thing about being President was the “tone” in Washington, saying that it “has gotten ugly.” Bush said that he had stayed above the fray, noting “I really don’t think it’s fitting for the president to drag the presidency into that kind of a mudslinging.” Watch it:

The day before, President Bush was on the campaign trail in Georgia. His message: his opponents want America to lose and the terrorist to win. Watch it:

Kerry is his own worst enemy. That being said, Kerry would draw the press like Bees to Honey if he was to re-emerge after declaring himself to be in hiding away from the campaign. That would be the time to state what needs to be stated and challenge King George the Younger's statement. Kerry would probably blow his lines and be misquoted and edited by the Mighty Wurlitzer to be quoted as saying something like " If the Democrats are elected to office, Al-Qaeda will start running Social Security and sub-contract to Hezbollah to deliver the services, and Iran will get their cut of 10% off the top for processing fees"

Two GOP Ads Show Images Of Flag-Draped Coffins
By Greg Sargent | bio
Question: When is it okay to run a political ad with images of the flag-draped coffins of soldiers? Answer: When you're a Republican. Back in July, the National Republican Congressional Committee held a press conference to denounce its Dem counterpart, the DCCC, for running a web ad showing such coffin imagery. Many other senior Republicans, including House majority leader John Boehner, condemned the ad, and it was a raging controversy for days until the DCCC pulled it. But guess what: Now there are not one, but two Republican ads which show an image of flag-draped coffins -- and one of them has been paid for by, yep, the NRCC. More after the jump.

Haggard stepping down amid gay affair inquiry

By The Denver Post

The leader of one of Colorado's most popular mega-churches, Ted Haggard, is temporarily stepping down from his leadership role, after allegations from a male prostitute that Haggard solicited gay sex.

Haggard, the founder and senior leader of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs and president of the multimillion- member National Association of Evangelicals, denied the accusations raised by the prostitute on Wednesday.

Today, a press conference by church leaders to support Haggard was cancelled shortly before it was scheduled to take place.

In stepping down, it was emphasized that Haggard did not admit any wrongdoing, but that he felt his effectiveness would be hampered by the cloud of inquiry.

The Denver Post could not reach Haggard for comment.

Haggard has been one of the major proponents for a state constitutional ban on gay marriage.
