On Thu, 02 Nov 2006 11:52:39 -0500, Charlie Morgan said: The senator, in essence, called Mr. Bush stupid. The context was unmistakable: I agree with you, Charlie (well, except for the "unmistakable" part). So isn't it funny that the Dems, who should be lining up behind Kerry, are instead insisting that he look down at his feet, do a little shuffle and offer an abject apology to the troops? Unfortunately, the GOP talking points version of the story got out first, and the media, being the lame-ass lazy pack-journalists that they are, repeated it ad nauseum until it became conventional wisdom. Although those of us with IQ's in the triple digits could see right through it (BTW, I think many on the right *are* smart enough to see through it -especially those who started the whlole thing - it's just that few are honest about it like you, Dave) the story grew to have a life of it's own. Democratic candidates want Kerry out of the headlines. So he does his non-appology appology ("I'm sorry that you all fell for fatuous republican spin again") and exits stage left. It's politics. It's dishonest. It stinks. On the bright side, it probably means Kerry won't run for president in 2008, which may actually be a gift from the GOP. Or if you want a slightly more metaphoric take, John Scalzi nails the overarching phenemenon: http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/002984.html //Walt |
