Clasic Coward afraid to face future President
Or in rove-speak:
Bush refuses to wallow in mud :-)
Or how not to use the F word
President Bush will try to remain above
the political fray for longer than usual
leading up to next year's election because
of what his handlers see as a significant
"stature gap" between Mr. Bush and his
challengers.
"If he gets down ... with the
Lilliputians, he is going to look like another
one of them," said a White House source
close to the president.
While it is traditional for an incumbent
president to cling to the political high road
for as long as possible, the imperative is
even greater for Mr. Bush, whose war on
terrorism has made him a larger-than-life
figure to both supporters and detractors.
The president is especially wary of
wading into a political discourse that
many observers regard as unusually
strident and even vulgar this election cycle.

1. There's a stature gap for sure...
all 9 of our candidates are so superior in stature to him, he should want to hide from them. LOL.

2. Vulgar? From the team that would disgrace a trailer park?
Oh, that's rich.

If there is anything that marks the Bush maladministration, it is its utter lack of class.

On his own, private school-educated George is a screaming indictment of the voucher concept. Any system that would take the grandson of a senator, the son of a CIA director, then Vice President, then President, and turn out a man so abysmally and arrogantly ignorant, is not one America can trust its own less high status children to.

As for being a larger than life figure, any man with so much blood dripping from his hands naturally assumes the role of the boogeyman under the bed.

3. They are laying the groundwork to refuse debates.

This is why I regret Kerry's use of the "f" word. We need to get the word out about how vulgar Bush is as speaker and policy maker and get the word out that a refusal to debate would be craven and cowardly, particularly in view of the fact that he has all but destroyed the traditional presidential press conference and only interviews with having cleared all the questions in advance. Nor does he send surrogates like Rice, Cheney, Powell or Rumsfeld out to do real press conferences in his stead. This administration is the most cowardly in American history.

4. Oh look, it's the Washington Times.....the official paper of Moonies
and braindead Republicans. So the chickenshit AWOL unelected fraud is afraid to defend his record? What a surprise.

6. Well there is one reason for this....
He can't Debate....

I think Rove will find a way to skip the debates all together....

Period...

They can't put him out in front, he can't communicate...that's why they hold so few press conferences.
