Via Howard Kurtz, here's one I missed over the weekend:

Nearly two out of three Republicans say they would support President Bush even if his political opponent were the father of our country.

In a theoretical matchup between George W. Bush and the other George W., George Washington, 62 percent of Republicans said they would vote for Bush and only 28 percent said they would back Gen. Washington. But because Democrats and independents went strongly for Washington, he held a healthy, 19-point advantage over Bush.

Sure, he wins by 19 points today. But let's see how strong he looks after the Valley Forge Veterans for Truth get finished with him. . . .

UPDATE: Oh, hell. That's what I get for (a) not finishing the article before blogging it, and (b) going for the obvious joke. Turns out, Kurtz used a similar line in the last graf of the piece linked above:

How soon they forget! G.W. needs an image consultant, a PAC and some 30-second ads about that crossing-the-Delaware thing. (Though would that produce a rival blitz by Delaware Veterans for Truth?)

Sorry all.

Like being President, writing humor is hard work.
