Election 2005 four-word analysis: "Bush has albatross coattails!"
In Va. Bush campaigned for Kilgore; it hurt Kilgore. In NJ, Forrester smeared Corzine, quoting Corzine's ex-wife in one of the sleaziest TV ads ever; Corzine's camp replied by tying Forrester to Bush and Karl Rove.

Yessirree, that Bush boy has political capital... NOT! And coattails... NOT!

One democratic candidate's campaign hung the hapless Bush around his opponents' neck. The other glably donned Dead Bird Bush.

Call it "albatross coattails."

1. Furiously mixing metaphors is okay, I guess,
when nobody has actually seen an albatross or coattails.

2. Republicans don't understand metaphors
So it's okay.

6. Exactly! I laughed when B*sh made that last-minute pitch for Kilgore!
I thought,
"Why would they even let him show up?
This will be another 2% swinging to Kaine!"

And it looks like it was.

Thank you, George, may we please have another?
