RULE ONE: Don't even go there if you have a modicum of integrity. You are not Mr. Smith, or even Colin Powell. This is not the 1940s or even the 80s. That window has closed, that ship has sailed.. That dog won't hunt. (And now it is a WITCH HUNT. Enjoy. Or not.)
RULE TWO: If you insist on ignoring Rule One, self deprecation sells way better than self aggrandizing, boasting and mudslinging. See JFK (or John Fitzgerald Kennedy, for those of you who were not born yet when he was elected, let alone when he was assassinated)-his remarks on his return from Paris--describing himself as "the man who accompanied Jackie to Paris." NO one didn't like that. Few forgot it.
RULE THREE: Looking like a jerk may get you on Fox News but it will not get you votes. Nobody's buying it.
RULE FOUR: Telling whoppers and denying it later--all on video-- makes you look like a jerk TO THE GLOBE. People with three, maybe for inches of distance from this insanity see it w for what it is--and it ain't pretty. Check out answers on Quora: http://www.quora.com/What-are-some-of-the-most-interesting-or-shocking-things-Americans-believe-about-themselves-or-their-country. And there are more of these sorts of people than there are people so emotionally sucked into your agenda (whatever it is) that they won't tell you how really dramatically, even drastically bad you look. So fugeddaboutit.
RULE FIVE: When in doubt see Rule One. This game, at this time, is a lose lose proposition. Even a master like Barak Hussein Obama --who can laugh when he;s about to assassinate a dude--can't pull it off. Not really. No one believes him either. Some like him. Some are full of terrified loathign. BUT NO ONE IS BUYING THE BALONEY. No one. See Rule Three above.
So don't say I didn't warn you. Just saying...
