When all else fails, blame everyone! The bipartisan panel investigating the September 11 terrorist attacks has laid equal blame on both the Clinton and Bush II administrations thus far. Both administrations had information and opportunities to thwart the attacks, but obviously did not possess a terrorist Rosetta Stone to interpret. Somehow the Committee to Re-elect Bush and the Committee to Elect Kerry will find a way to twist this information into their advertising campaign.

Bush campaign: The Democrats could have solved this problem during the Clinton years...

Kerry campaign: Instead of focusing on the threat of al-Qaeda, the Bush administration chose to push for a war in Iraq...

...or something like that. If Verbal Jazz were completely unprincipled, he could write ads for both campaigns. The trick is to leave out key details that show the entire picture, or just use the White House PR strategy.
