The Swarm

It's Action Verb Friday at the Bush Blog. Instead of the usual anonymous contributor, today we get a named drone, Jennifer Millerwise, and her insect metaphor-laden prose:

Michiganders from across the state showed up in East Lansing on a perfect, crisp fall day to lay the ground work for an aggressive grassroots effort. After spending the morning learning about current and future Bush-Cheney '04 plans in the state, attendees anxiously milled around the press conference site prior to the Michigan Leadership team announcement. Votes in the House of Representatives on the President's request for $87 billion for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan held B-C '04 Chairwoman Rep. Candice Miller in D.C., but that didn't stop her from calling in to radio shows and doing satellite interviews with local TV throughout the state -- including all three networks in Detroit. The press conference, led by Campaign Chairman Racicot, focused on the President's leadership on important issues like education and Homeland Security. After the press conference, local media swarmed around key Leadership Team Members conducting one-on-one interviews, while other Team Members buzzed around campaign staff sharing their strategy and planning ideas.

Nice try, but it's still not interesting.

Millerwise previously was an assistant press secretary to Dicky-Ticker Dick, giving the nation the VP's line of bunkum on such matters as Halliburton and his own life expectancy.
