If George Bush...

...gave a speech tomorrow (or...um...at the Republican National Convention?), taking the lead in bringing food and santiation to the Sudan, and really televised the shit out of it, he'd probably win this election. And it would have the bonus of being the right thing to do, which would have the further bonus of being probably the first real anti-terrorist act George Bush will have initiated.

Unfortunately, we have no troops, and probably no supply-moving aircraft, because of that other country we're in right now.

But, spitballing, what if George Bush gets up and takes the lead in bringing food and sanitation to the Sudan, and then announces that he's diverting civil aircraft and working with private industry in order to take the lead?

Shit. I'd consider voting for him if he did that.

Anyone want to make book on the chances?
