Cheerleader-In-Chief

Johnny Sunshine on the Tonight Show:

I run, and I played a little football back when I was in school. And the president, I think, was there at those football games too. He was, I think, on the side maybe with his pompoms? Can you run fast with those cheerleading outfits on? I don't know.

Well said Johnny.

Kerry needs to follow that up tonight with something along these lines:

Mr. President, you can't fix the economy by talking about how strong it is. The country needs a real leader, not a cheerleader.

Make no mistake, George W. Bush is, underneath it all, an insecure man. A subtle and yet overt challenge to his leadership skills (not to mention his virility) might just cause an appearance of Stuttering Murderous Rage George.
