Exactly. Number One Rule of political communication is never call attention to your own weakness. These guys are just unbelievable. Just when you think they learn from their mistakes, they do something even more stupid. What is this - a campaign run by a bunch of amateurs? No seasoned political pro would put out a statement like this one, that's for sure. Every day with Deadwards is like a gift from the Campaign Gods - it always keeps getting better.
You know, I've never liked the habit of insisting that one's political opponents are stupid (after all, one must consider the possibility that they are wicked), but the longer this campaign goes on, the more I'm forced to come to the conclusion that John Kerry is stupid.
I don't mean silly, or ridiculous, or naive; I mean just plain ol' low-IQ village-idiot stupid.
