We've all been so blinded by the Dean rise-in-the-polls. We spent months wondering/worrying how beatable Dean would turn out to be. We convinced ourselves that Dean would be hugely beatable (correct) and then when Dean flopped in the primaries we felt let down, that the most beatable candidate was no longer going to be challenging Bush.

But think back to before the Dean bubble and how we all felt about those candidates, those nine nimrods in their silly (seemingly nightly) "debates". The debates that nobody watched. The debates about which Bill O'Reilly said: "I'll tell you why nobody's paying attention. Those people are boring."

No one thought back then that Kerry was anything to cheer about. No one was worried then about Kerry's ability to beat Bush. Back then, such a notion would have been laughable.

But then came the Dean bubble. It distracted us. It actually made the race somewhat interesting. And after the bubble popped, suddenly Kerry's some kind of a rising star.

But he's no more of a rising star now than he was then. He's no less boring now than he was then. He's no less of a clueless Massachussettes Kennedy Liberal now than he was then.

It's just that the Dean bubble caught the media glare, and Kerry's bursting of was hence a media event, so that now we've lost sight of the main fact here: Kerry is a loser.

That fact was obvious at the beginning of this nominating process and --- though it's being ignored by the media --- it should be just as obvious now.

Oddly enough, both letters translate into French exactly the same.

John Kerry is the only man in history to be on both sides of 3 wars.

1.Vietnam, which we all know about,
2. GWII (see above).
3. He also tried to play both sides in Gulf War I, voting against the Senate resolution, but then, after quick US success, he said he voted against it because Bush41 wasn't going to remove Saddam.

So Kerry, who claims he wants to act in accordance with UN SecCouncil permission slips, was all for stuffing the Council in 1991!!

We don't need the Muddle-Minded Man from Massachussetts!!

Don't laugh, your face would look like that too if you spent 35 years using your head for a weather vane!

Here's a creepy coincidence. Remember Wallace Carter? He's the Massachusetts man who in 1991 received two letters, nine days apart, from Sen. John Kerry, one opposing the Gulf War and the other supporting it. The New Republic published excerpts from both two months later. It turns out that soon thereafter, one of Kerry's colleagues gave a speech in which he mocked the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat, who by the way served in Vietnam, for the Carter letters. Dennis Roddy, a columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, tells the story:

It happened at the annual Lincoln Day Dinner of the Allegheny County Republican Party, March 20, 1991, at the William Penn Hotel.

At the time the first George Bush was still flush with victory in the Persian Gulf, and dinnergoers chortled over a videotaped presentation of assorted senate Democrats backpedaling in the wake of a war they'd opposed. Ted Kennedy was shown. News clips were shown. But for Kerry, the speaker simply read the two letters, to everyone's amazement.

"It's like those before-and-after pictures they print in the papers," the speaker said. "If they didn't tell you so themselves, you'd think they were different people."

Kerry has to remember that one. The speaker was Sen. John Heinz. Two weeks later, he would die in a plane crash. Four years after that, Kerry would marry his widow.

If only the political parties were reversed, this would have the makings of a great Angry Left conspiracy theory.
