El Presidente was back in North Carolina yesterday, in Charlotte the Queen City, declaring that "W is For Women." So ... is it Queens for a Day? ... to make up for four years of policies NOT so great for women (or other living species).
"He promised to pursue a more women-friendly agenda in a second term. 'Women need help,' Bush said."
"Help," so long as it's not an abortion. "Help," so long as it's not an improvement in the minimum wage. "Help," so long as it's not less mercury allowed into the environment. "Help," so long as it's not refraining from sending your sons and brothers to preemptive war and early death.
But the pandering to women (and the national polling that supposedly shows the gender gap magically disappearing) was not even the real story of W's visit to Charlotte. The real story is that Bush must be in some serious trouble in North Carolina to be making yet another visit here to this supposedly "safe" red state.
Meanwhile, we're being fed all this polling garbage on a daily basis that Bush is now so far ahead we might as well not even hold the election. Sorry, but I don't believe anything that comes out of corporate media any more. Or, rather, I believe it about as much as I believe that "W is For Women!"
