JOHN FORBES DUKAKIS It's hard to criticize John Kerry these days. Apparently, every criticism of him is unfair. At least, we're not supposed to criticize his time in Vietnam -- or even what he's said about Vietnam more recently -- because that would be a "smear" (even when the Kerry campaign admits, as it has regarding Kerry's Christmas-in-Cambodia claims, that he hasn't been telling the truth). . As he drew nearer, however, the woman suddenly ripped off her Cahill mask, behind which was ... Susan Estrich, Michael Dukakis' campaign manager! At that point, he woke up screaming. Ouch. The difference, perhaps, is that the Bush campaign isn't having to paint Kerry as out of touch -- he's doing it himself. He certainly did it in his screechy and off-key response to President Bush Friday morning. As Ann Althouse notes, Kerry's haughty and demeaning approach isn't likely to play with voters:........As Virginia Postrel observes: John Kerry made Bush look even better with his petulant and rambling midnight address. What was he thinking? .... "The candidate is furious," a longtime senior Kerry adviser told the Daily News. "He knows the campaign was wrong. "I can't believe my staff is losing to this guy!" One question for voters -- among many, many others that we're apparently not supposed to be asking -- is this: If Kerry can't run a campaign, how can he run the Presidency? (. . . like holding midnight shoot-outs in the midwest against imaginary enemies)Last part added by charlite.

What cracks me up about the punditry class is that they give far too much credit to the value of the campaign and not enough to the underlying strength of the candidate. When two candidates are relatively evenly matched on important issues such as integrity, decisiveness, leadership qualities, and the like, there is no doubt that a clever campaign manager can frame the argument in favor of his candidate's strengths while pointing out the opponent's weaknesses. But, for Heaven's sake, when the varsity team from the Sisters of the Poor is playing the University of Miami, no game plan in the world is going to help. John F'n Kerry is a horrendous candidate. That his campaign managers were able to obscure that fact for so long is a credit to them. Now, the jig is up. The truth is out and Kerry is recognized for the anti-military, anti-American, tax and spend liberal who is the last person we need to fight terrorism.
In a Sat Nite Live parody of the 1988 Bush Dukakis debates, this was Dukakis' closing line "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy!"
My staff is losing to this guy?? Gee, is your staff running for president or are you?
There's gotta be somebody else to blame, it certainly can't be JFK.
MSNBC? Uh oh...
The Media is beginning to eat each other alive. Wonderful. Something hilarious on tv all weekend.
That had to hurt!
