Sadly, Max is both metaphor and poster clown for Kerry's 'lame attempts' at making war for his campaign.
But the Kerry people who educated themselves watching 'Jerry Springer' probably thought it was great.
I doubt if Hillary would give any help to the Kerry campaign unless it was to mis direct it. Hillary and her erstwhile lying husband are a pair who always look out for themselves. The honesty of the the American people couldn't be farther from their thinking. Hillary is for Hillary and Kerry's fortunes don't even enter her mind, except anyway to unsettle him.
