Dems hoping for deadly winter

AP (I mean if it is from the AP, it HAS to be real), South Dakota - Tom Daschle, former House Majority Leader, recently spoke regarding the Democrats plan for the next 6 months. "Well, we were really hoping that Rita did much more damage so we could point out the fact that President Bush only responds quickly when there is a tragedy in his home state." Since that did not happen, the Democrats quickly had to re-focus their efforts and try to come up with an alternate plan to criticize the President.

"Well, we have to look at the bright side," stated Daschle on the phone from his posh South Dakota mansion, "we could have major snow storms that cause white-out's in red states and hopefully bring about pileups on their interstate's." Daschle also remarked, "Then, we can say that the President cannot truly care about his constituents or he would have gotten more warning and supplied that state with more road salt." "The more death and destruction, the better our position."

Daschle did remark that the Dems will continue to employ the same strategy of continuous criticism and not change to a strategy of producing their own solutions to issues. "Why would we try to fix anything?" Daschle asked, "the current policy of finger pointing is working." "The Presidents approval rating is way down according to the New York Times, The Village Voice, Ebony and the Gay and Lesbian Advocate!"
