With just a week remaining until Election Day litigation officially begins, I thought it would be an entertaining way to pass the time by chronicling the various October surprises as they crop up this final, crucial, Very Silly week.
October Surprise No. 1 (yes, admittedly the numbering system is arbitrary, based solely upon the starting of this thread and not from any discrete dirty trick): George Bush allowed a huge cache of weapons in Iraq to disappear! He can’t be trusted with this quagmire! We need a change! even though the actual event took place at least 18 months ago…
October Surprise No. 2: al Qaeda endorses George Bush! The enemies of America tell “foolish Bush” that, “We cannot get anyone who is more foolish than you, who uses force instead of wisdom and diplomacy” and accuses him of “stupidity and religious extremism” but worry that “Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilisation.”
