I'll read the whole thing later, but -- re depressed -- did you hear the bit on Brit Hume about how Kerry tried to force her to go on a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. She didn't want to -- she told him, "You don't understand vertigo!" He put his arm around and tried to draw her to the helicopter. She broke away and went a Secret Service guy (for protection?) and said, "I'm not going!" He is hopeless!

Kerry was not using his nuanced sensitivity when he suggested that she take that helicoptor ride...her first husband , Sen. Heinz ,was killed when his small plane was in a mid-air crash with a helicopter.

You're right -- I'd forgotten all about that. I still thought it was bad enough on his part just because she really didn't want to go.
