Amazing how fast some slogans and concepts drift out of date and out of the public consciousness.  It's the fate of many ideas assocated with the president and his friends, especially over the last year to a year and a half.  Seems to me that the following are definitely now MIA (missing in action):

In the past few years, all Americans have faced real challenges, ranging from the war to catastrophic hurricanes. But these challenges do not change, nor should they diminish, the fundamental facts about our economy and our progress in the war on terror.

Conrad [Burns] wouldn't do something crooked, so how in the world this Abramoff slipped in some funny money, I don't know. Conrad would not do something that devious or that crooked. He's a better man than that.

Here's a royal cutie I found over at YouTube. Guess who it stars? Guess what it says?.........

My wife goes apoplectic when the subject of voting integrity comes up.  How in the f'ing world, she wonders loudly, can the Democrats and the media simply continue to ignore such a serious problem with the fundamental activity on which our democracy rests?
