A Southern Conservative's Advice for GW

I thought this was amusing.

Money quote:

If that support [for the war] goes the way of Coke's stock, then you might as well join Halliburton's board come December. Without support for the war, then people will judge Bush on a domestic record that makes that Arkansas boy Billy Clinton look as fiscally responsible as your local Wal-Mart.

That's why I've been sweating so much for you in the Confederacy, and not at Hilton Head. Lots of people, and not just Southerners, are beginning to reckon that if it wasn't for Iraq, then Bush would be exposed as the biggest spender since that New Yorker FDR, and with none of Huey Long's charm. If it wasn't for Iraq, Southerners might even choose a Massachusetts Democrat this November on the basis that he would govern closer to the Right.
