On my way back home from helping one of our church's refugee families move, I listened to Kerry's speech on, where else, WLSAM. A lot of what he said could sound really good--good to someone who was unaware of the recent history of Democrat politics and campaigning or of Kerry's own political history. Kerry draped lots of patriotic bunting and religious tinsel, together with a few squirts of militaristic testosterone, over his party's creaking, weather-worn, worm-eaten platform of statism.

Kerry's honking declamation, sentences sinking like depth charges that failed to explode, reminded me of the way a certain character in Young Frankenstein talked--before he got an infusion of brains--when he bellowed, "Puttin' on the Ritz!"

Whatever he said has to be taken in the context of, "I voted for it, before I voted against it" and other such revelations of his lying, vacillating character as claiming how much he loves to hunt deer crawling through the woods on his stomach with his 12 gauge shotgun or claiming that his grounder at the ballgame was because the catcher was nervous and he wanted to toss an easy one to him or claiming that no pictures were to have been taken at Cape Canaveral when it was the Kerry campaign that requested expedited developing of those very pictures. There are probably a thousand other examples of Kerry's duplicity. Far more than enough to put everything he said in this speech tonight into complete and final doubt.
