With growing issues over his wealth (which makes fellow plutocrat Bush seem a charity case by comparison), the miasma over his medals and ribbons (or ribbons and medals), his uninspiring record in the Senate (yes war, no war), and wishy-washy efforts to mimic Bill Clinton's triangulation gimmickry (the protractor factor), Kerry sinks day by day. The pros all know that the candidate who starts each morning by having to explain himself is a goner.

Then there's the damaging revelations about his gas-guzzling cars, SUVs, planes, boats and motorized recreational vehicles.

Yet, Kerry's worst Kodak moment was his hour-long MTP interview.

When MTP ran videos showing him testifying before Congress about committing war crimes, he laughed inappropriately, when one would expect a thoughtful comment on this serious subject. Kerry was trying vainly to spin........... then made a dumb comment about his hair, then and now.

Then we found out Kerry paid $1000 to fly out his hairdresser for his MTP appearance. Kerry's bigbuck hairstyling is ironic on light of his damaging comment about his post-Vietnam hair.

That's the second time I've seen this. What is "the trangulation gimmickry (the protractor factor)"?
