This would make great dinner theater if we weren't fighting a war. kerry has crossed his mental rubicon, and is acting like a cornered wild dog. His intemperance on this issue alone - coupled with his constant vacillation on important policy statements - makes him totally unsuited for the office of President.
Racicot's statement is perfect material for a TV ad.
What, really, should one expect from the DNC at this point? The Democrats have lost their credibility and like cornered or treed animals, all they can do is posture and scream and hope for a deus ex machina
Their allies in the liberal press have a different situation: they hope to have a life after the election and they can't afford a "last stand". I have already begun to notice "suprisingly neutral" comments on CBS and ABC radio news. Hell, even the Letterman show is doing satire on Rathergate every night....and the Dubya jokes seem to be on hold.
