Win one for the Gipper, or was that for the Flipper?

New York Gov. George Pataki introduces President Bush tonight by repeating some of the Republicans’ favorite attacks on Democrat John Kerry.

But Pataki also gets off a couple of fresh good one-liners.

Kerry is “a candidate who has to Google his own name to find out where he stands,’’ Pataki claims in remarks prepared for delivery.

“You saw their convention a few weeks ago. They had a slogan: `Hope is on the way.' But with all their flip-flopping and zig-zagging their real slogan should be, `Hype is on the way.’”’

Pataki adds: “As Republicans we're lucky. This fall we're going to win one for the Gipper” – a reference to Ronald Reagan.

“But our opponents - they're going lose one with the Flipper.”
