Rank and file democrats have to be feeling a bit underwhelmed with “Real Security: The Democratic Plan to Protect America and Restore Our Leadership in the World." The document is comprised of election year retreads and a basic promise that, no matter how much they might think Bush is screwing up the world, they will change little to nothing of his policies.
And, of course, if elected they will work to impeach Bush.
It's amazing they needed all of ten pages to lay out the masterpiece. Then again, via Hugh Hewitt, there appears to be plenty of what we elitists in the biz call "white space." The Shape of Days explains:
...it’s really only five pages, because half the pages are in Spanish. Spanish on one side, English on the other. Like stereo instructions. I guess restoring our leadership to the world is something you can get at Ikea.
Except the first page is just a title card, and the second page is just a blurb. So really it’s only three pages.
The Democrats’ comprehensive plan for restoring the blah blah and protecting some other thing is actually three PowerPoint slides.
The other night at a city council meeting, a wastewater expert explained to the city the source of their inflow problems. He too had a PowerPoint presentation. It was about 12 slides including an understanding of the problem and proposed solutions.
Without that understanding or those solutions he probably could have limited the presentation to three slides too...if you get my drift.
