1. Here's something about it... Bartlett couldn't provide a name...
... to back up his smear.

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/06/22/bartlett-surrender/

Excerpt:

It apparently doesn’t matter at all to the right that their smears are completely untrue. Yesterday on NBC, Matt Lauer gave Bush councelor Dan Bartlett the opportunity to point out one person “calling for the white flag of surrender.” Bartlett couldn’t do it.

LAUER: The white flag of surrender — that’s a very dramatic and harsh expression to use against the Democrats. Have you heard any Democrats calling for the white flag of surrender?

BARTLETT: Well, I have heard a lot of Democrats call this President a liar, saying we’ve gone into Iraq for the wrong reasons, saying that he’s incomptent. So there is a lot of heated rhetoric in Washington. But what we see in the heart wrenching developments, when we see our 2 soldiers lose their lives in such a horrific way, is that we’re up against a very determined enemy. This is an epic struggle in which we have to be committed to winning.

4. Bartlett afraid of their own memes in front of a camera? Couldn't he get
Zell Miller to sit in for him?

Away from a news sitdown, these guys regularly attack Kerry and Murtha as wussies - with a camera trained on them and a news mic, they babble AROUND and have no specific charge to make.

6. Right
"... But what we see in the heart wrenching developments, when we see our 2 soldiers lose their lives in such a horrific way,..."

Funny how they can so easily forget the more than 2500 others.

2. Your title immediately made me think of the fight scene in Bridget Jones
with Hugh Grant and Colin Firth. That's probably pretty close to what a Matt Lauer/Dan Bartlett fight would look like.
