Just In Time for Halloween: I’m a Ghost-Writer

What a creepy feeling to know that George W. Bush is reading my blog. From yesterday’s press conference:

And they just — as I said, they’re dancing in the end zone. They just haven’t scored the touchdown, Mark, you know, there’s a lot of time left. And these candidates are working hard out there. And my message to them is, keep talking about the security of the United States and keeping taxes low, and you’ll come back here.

Here’s what I wrote on Tuesday night:

I visit a lot of anti-Bush blogs these days, and I get that same queasy sensation as I see some bloggers practicing their end-zone victory dance weeks before election day. National polls show Democrats with a big generic edge, but I’ve also see a lot of analysts doing race-by-race totals and concluding that Republicans may very well hold onto both houses of Congress. Bush may get another two years with no checks, no balances, and no Congressional oversight.

Because I’m the only person in the country who uses football metaphors when discussing political topics, I’m thinking of sending Bush a bill for my ghost-writing assistance.
