Sometimes leadership means having the courage not to have courage

Reminds me of Eleanor Clift defending the rapist soon after he told us there would be no tax cuts. "It takes real courage to break your promise."

If you've gone over to the forces of nuance, Kerry's your guy - or your nuancy boy.

Is that 'u' necessary? It works just as well without it:

If you've gone over to the forces of nuance, Kerry's your guy - or your nancy boy.

Au contraire: Florence King in National Review.

I agree, and it's fitting that Steyn's Happy Warrior column should occupy the page where King's The Misanthrope's Corner was once featured.

CBS guy said none of what he'd droned was usable and would he mind trying again. Eventually, they coached the Senator into a soundbite

I'd love to see a transcript of that coaching.

Egad! Kerry is so boring he even makes Mark Steyn dull! Global emergency! 3 posted on 03/01/2004 4:34:54 PM PST by Tax-chick

This was one of Steyn's lesser columns (by which I mean, he did not commit Genius even once).

I, also, blame the subject matter.

The Western world's current tides of politics very often come and go in cycles. In fact, today's post-liberal post-modernist party supposedly on the left reads like yeareryears' patrician conservatives. And given that the British Conservative Party consists of two strains: one of a patrician kind, the other a Thachter kind, it is easy to see a group of patrician British Conservatives (with capital C) fawning over John Kerry (who looks and feels like a silver-spooned rich centre-leftist to me).
