Leave it to politicians to play the spin game to its ultimate end. Democrats, worried that no one will listen to their rebuttal opportunity after President Bush addresses the nation, have decided to conduct a "PREBUTTAL" conference. This, of course, is a rebuttal which is conducted prior to actually hearing what the other side has to say. The Spin Cycle never stops!
Really...are politics and politicians such simpletons that each side knows exactly what the other is going to say before it's said? So much so that they no longer have to wait for the speech to give the rebuttal? How sad.
When will we have the pre-prebuttal? Or the pre-pre-prebuttal. The race to make the first impact on the media is just getting stupid. Why have speeches or addresses at all? Simply put on a string of prebuttals by both parties and hash out all the issues before they even come up!
We could have a pre-prebuttal...a prebuttal...a post-prebuttal...a pre-post-prebuttal...etc., etc. Of course, it is more than symbolic that the word "BUTT" is so prominent in the word "prebuttal."
Unfortunately, there may be politicians reading this and thinking, "What a great idea! Imagine...to work out all of the issues even before they come up!"
Fortunately, the American public cared as little for the Prebuttal as they did the rebuttal. Nevertheless, the "prebuttal" is something that only a politician can love.
