I was trying to recall the exact moment I lost interest in the 2004 presidential race. It was March 7, the day The New York Times published Maureen Dowd's gushing paean to John Kerry.

Dowd gloried in the "vast palette of cultural preferences" that paint the Kerry persona. Why, he not only reads Keats and Shelley and T.S. Eliot, he writes his own verse on the "barren desolation of the desert."

I noticed that too. Fits of giggles for Rush lately. Disturbing.

Did the NYT run the article in the print edition, or was it just online? The article was full of little digs at Kerry, not a positive piece at all. By contrast, the Reuters "Kerry on vacation" piece was a big sloppy kiss.

It was in the actual paper, believe it or not!

You are right...I know diehard Democrats who will hold their nose and vote for Kerry. They find him a flipflopper and some veterans I know are pissed at him beating his chest about his war service as if the National Guard flying planes was a cushy job (National Guardsmen went to Vietnam as well). Whenever I hear the words "John Kerry wore a uniform and fought for his country" I say "so did Lee Harvey Oswald (Marines) and Timothy McVeigh (Army)."

Now more than ever we need a brush-clearing, ESPN watching man in the WH - not a nuanced,"sensitive", waffling socialist.
