Chickenhawk Zingers

Saw this one CNN today...

Bush is putting the finishing touches on his debate preparation this week.

He is done sparring with mock-debate partner Sen. Judd Gregg, R-New Hampshire, said White House communications director Dan Bartlett.

Bush planned a low-profile day at his Crawford, Texas, ranch Tuesday, "crystallizing" his thoughts on policy and sharpening zingers, Bartlett said.

The ranch has an important mind-clearing effect, he said.

"I'm sure some of the best zingers he's given have been (written) out there with a fishing pole in his hands," Bartlett said.

"Sharpening zingers" certainly suggests that we're going to have a really insightful, well-argued debate. I'd rather he go the other way and sharpen his thoughts on policy instead of his zingers.
