Well, the bottom line is that Kerry commanded a Swift boat and Bush commanded a nation at war. It's not quite the same thing.

Mark Steyn is great! Has he been on TV as an analyst at all? Seems like his sense of humor would make him really interesting.

The "default democrat" name seems to be a perfect title for Kerry. If you ask a democrat why they support Kerry, the go off on a rant about George Bush with no answer to the question.

I'm starting to think the other democrats and third party potentials are starting to smell blood in the water around Kerry. This might be why Howard Dean has changed his mind about dropping out of the race. Also noises are getting louder from the Nader camp.

Kerry may be puffed up like a big ole toad, but i doubt he will be able to withstand the weight of successes of the presidents past 3 years. Another bug hurt could come from his own past in the form of congressional records.

Senator Kerry has done a good job of enlarging himself but the reality is simple: George W Bush's America has won two swift wars and overthrown two enemy regimes; John Kerry was heroic in a war that America lost and whose loss he celebrated. Since then he's been a model lack-of-conviction politician. The question for anyone who thinks Kerry has "credibility" on national security is a simple one: who do you think Iran, North Korea, Syria, al-Qa'eda's Saudi paymasters and the rogue elements in Pakistan's ISI would prefer to see elected this November?

That's a profound paragraph.

I might argue with the "overthrown two enemy regimes" statement however. Perhaps it's a few more - Libya, maybe Iran, Syria and perhaps even Pakistan?

Mostly he does this through meaningless slogans.

Kerry comes across like a college president, the kind of guy good at fund-raisers and talking up rich widows for donations. Hmmm, come to think of it...

"who do you think Iran, North Korea, Syria, al-Qa'eda's Saudi paymasters and the rogue elements in Pakistan's ISI would prefer to see elected this November? "
 
This quote should be used in every GOP mailing and TV ad this year.

Leave it to Steyn, formidable polemicist that he is, but what a great phrase: Kerrified!
