Ha ha, didn't Mark Kennedy get the memo that Bush is enjoying a "bump"? Because he has gone through his Congressional site and
purged all references to Bush from it. Blogger MN points out the scrubbing process:
First of all, replace all pictures of Bush with smiling children. Everyone loves children.
Secondly, bills magically "become" law, rather than get signed by Bush:
"An important provision from the first bill he introduced as a member of Congress, providing grant money for rural ambulance services, was signed into law by President Bush." Now compare that to the new version, which reads, "In fact, a grant program for rural ambulance services in the first bill he introduced in Congress became law."
And thirdly, try to create a record of opposition, rather than support, for the Bush agenda. So kill:
Supported the President's Plan to create jobs and boost the economy, including accelerating the phase-in of the 2001 tax relief and ending the unfair double-taxation of dividends.
And replace with:
Successfully worked to repeal the Bush Administration's steel tariffs, which killed jobs and hurt local manufacturers.
Too bad homeboy has voted with Bush 95 percent of the time, which should go over nicely in a state where Bush's approval ratings are at 34/63.
Minnesota has a late primary (September 12), so we won't have a sure Democratic nominee until that time.
