BUSH TO NEW YORK: DROP DEAD! And the funny thing is, Bush probably could have carried New York and Jersey in 2004 -- and all he had to do was deliver the $20 billion in rebuilding aid he had pledged only three months ago. But now he's giving us that old song and dance ...."Sorry Joe, I ain't got the dough."

I dunno, pal ... maybe that'll play in the red states, but the blues are going to remember that you didn't use your limitless political capital to honor your own word.
