that people like Kerry and Moore can even say this [self-deleted] without being literally howled off the stage by a horrified public and hounded out of public life, is a genuine cringing embarrassment to me as an American

I'm getting the impression from some Dems that they didn't think that was too cool a statement by Kerry -- especially after Giuliani's response (calling it "monday morning quarterbacking") got a lot of publicity.

True, Dems didn't literally howl him off the stage -- they've got too much at stake with their anybody-but-Bush mania.

But I think a lot of Dems are embarrassed. They're also concerned that smug pronouncements like that from Kerry will turn off those cherished "undecided" voters.
