...Physically, Kerry's repertoire is painfully limited. He thrusts his index finger at the audience in an overhead arc again and again, as though launching a projectile...
His words are even more stilted, particularly when he ruins a good line by adding prepositional phrases—"in this country … as a fundamental commitment … to all our citizens … regardless of circumstance"—until everyone is silently begging him to stop.
It's strange that a man who charged into enemy fire should prove so physically inferior, as a politician, to a man whose greatest athletic feat during the Vietnam era was swimming ashore at Chappaquiddick. I couldn't decide whether to laugh or wince as Kennedy, the lifelong legislator, exalted Kerry's "two terms" in Vietnam—then corrected his description, incorrectly, to "two sessions." (Pssst, Senator … the word is tours.)
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

For the record: Kerry did not serve 2 tours in Vietnam. He seved aboard a Navy ship in the South China Sea. Then, later, he went to Vietnam for 3 1/2 months where he commanded a Mekong Delta river patrol "fast boat." He asked to leave VN, citing the fact that he had (already!) been awarded 3 purple hearts for wounds, the nature of which he has refused to disclose to the public.
Bill Maher made a gret observation when he said that Kerry looked like "one of the talking trees from The Wizard of Oz".
