Stepping In It (Again)

March 26, 2004

DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe's got a real sense of what works on TV. In a segment with CNN's Judy Woodruff that aired, he pauses to wipe his feet on a doormat decorated with a picture of President George W. Bush.

Via cablenewser - hat tip to Gary B.

Robert writes in with a question: 'Why has there been no flack regarding the tour Judy Woodruff took with Terry McAuliffe yesterday afternoon of the new DNC Headquarters? Before entering his office the camera panned down to get a closeup of his doormat which has a picture of President Bush. McAuliffe made a point of wiping his shoes across the picture of Bush and laughed like it was very funny and not a bit disrespectful. It was stunning. Ms. Woodruff caught her breath and walked around the mat so as not to step on the president's face. Hmm...is it enough to be a 'scandal of the moment?'

At least McAuliffe is staying on message: Kerry's positives aren't a winning hand.

Is Terry McAuful a plant for Bush? He is so politically tone deaf that he helps Bush regularly. And he must think every state is like New York or Massachussetts. Keep it up, Terry!

You'd think the Clinton installed hack was trying to lose the presidency for the Democrats in 2004. Oh well, has anybody thought of Hillary for 2008?

Interesting post on another blog about this :
"Remember what happened to the last person who used Bush as a doormat?
They found him in a spider hole.
