Thanks. I follow the rules FR lays out. If an article is on the "Must Excerpt" list, I post an excerpt only. If it's NOT, I post the entire article. I don't know why that is so difficult for some folks to figure out.

Groucho Marx once observed that an audience will laugh at an actress playing an old lady pretending to fall downstairs, but, for a professional comic to laugh, it has to be a real old lady. That’s how I feel about the Kerry campaign. For the professional political analyst, watching Mondale or Dukakis or Howard Dean stuck in the part of the guy who falls downstairs is never very satisfying: they’re average, unexceptional fellows whom circumstances have conspired to transform into walking disasters. But Senator Kerry was made for the role, a vain thin-skinned droning blueblood with an indestructible sense of his own status but none at all of his own ridiculousness.

Classic Steyn.

A lot of meat on this one. Steyn is a treasure.

Shalom.
