The Boston Globe's favorite son is at it again. Of course, the BG is helping with the promotion of this very sour apple.
President Bush's Veterans Day broadside against Senator John F. Kerry, delivered in a major speech on the war in Iraq, was greeted with quiet cheer by those in the senator's camp who are laying the groundwork for his possible run for the presidency in 2008.Being pointed out as a loud mouthed crack-pot is of course a good thing for the Kerry campaign. Kerry's continual braying about quagmires and failures in Iraq is usually just entertaining, especially when he can't ever seem to be consistent. But then, I suppose he enjoys being noticed in any form.
By singling out Kerry as the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic, aides to the Massachusetts Democrat said, the president confirmed Kerry's continuing prominence in national politics, something the senator and his aides have fought hard to maintain.
''It makes him a bit of a hero among Democrats to have George Bush attacking him," said Don Fowler, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.Yeah, I suppose it does, but then, they aren't the votes that didn't choose him during the 2004 election. This is no different than singing to the choir. It doesn't make him any more attractive to the votes that are most important to win a national election. Remember the centrists and independents didn't vote for him last time. Screaming about Bush distorting the truth will get him little mileage with the groups that matter.

I recently read an article (linked from here?) that described Kerry as being like a jilted boyfriend, who just can't figure out why he was dumped and thinks that surely the girl is going to wake up, realize what a great catch he is, and come back to him. When in reality, everything he does convinces her how smart she was to dump him.
This is more of the same. Bush directs a comment his way... "She looked at me!" Pathetic. And not going to sway any new voters his way.
