John Kerry and John Edwards ran for office together and they lost together, and they both gave major speeches about Katrina this week, but there the similarity ends. The two men might as well live in different worlds. Kerry began his speech by making the point that Bush and his crew are rotten. He then went on to make the point that Bush and his crew are loathsome. In the third section of the speech, Kerry left the impression Bush and his crew are evil.
Now we all know people so consumed by hatred for George Bush that they haven't had an unpredictable thought in five years, but in Kerry's speech one sees this anger in almost clinical form.
In the first place, not even Karl Rove's worldview is so obsessively Bush-centric as John Kerry's. There are many interesting issues raised by Katrina, but for Senator Ahab it all goes back to the great white monster, Bush. Bush and his crew should have known the levees were weak. Bush and his crew should have known thousands in New Orleans would be trapped. (Did I miss Kerry's own warnings on these subjects?)
All reality flows back to Bush. All begins with Bush, ends with Bush, is explained by Bush and is polluted by Bush, cursed be thy name.
And as the speech stretches on, a second thought occurs: Doesn't this guy ever get bored? If Kerry ever makes an anti-Bush jab, he makes it again. The old DeLay jibes, he makes them again. The Wolfowitz attacks, he makes them again. Porn movies have less repetition than this, and yet the "Mission Accomplished" carrier deck scene gets hauled out again, for one feels this is not a normal speech designed to persuade or inform, but a primitive rite designed to channel group...

Great article! Thanks!
They are each in their own part of the Two Americas.
Politicians love to hear themselves talk and they do most of it when there is a crisis.
Both screwed their way to money...

There is a Nazi feel to Kerry.

It really shows how the Dems have positioned themselves as victims.
Kerry! Edwards! What a class act of the back end of a horse. Everywhere they go the pile fall on the ground.
Nuanced national socialism? Can it be that someday light will dawn that the party that must not be named was for broad redistribution and nationalization of capital?
Nah. The MSM certainly won't get it. "Right" wing in Germany must of course mean "right" wing in the US, even though the latter infers that the government get the heck out of our lives and stops interfering in our personal decisions (not to mention property).
Although the Breck girl only had one speech when he was the VP candidate.

Edwards may have his statistics right, I don't know. The REASON for this disparity, I suspect, has to do with whether or not the family is intact, that is, is there a father AND a mother in the home. Just this one fact makes the biggest difference in the economic health of a family. Democrats always ignore this fact, and narrow the difference down to race.
That's David Brock.
From the beginning, Kerry had 'loser' written all over him and selecting Edwards was the coup de gras.
Thanks.
The Kerry part of the piece is OK and describes the man well. But I fail to see anything new or interesting in what Edwards is saying. It's just another version of Edward's failed "two Americas" stump speech that failed to impress even the folks in his home state of SC. Both are losers--then and now. And I doubt Edward's statistics are reflective of the real story about black vs. white. Nor does it put the blame for the divide where it belongs--on the backs of the poverty-pimps and race hustlers like Jackson, Sharpton and countless other supposed "black leaders." They, along with the DUmmycrat plantation owners, are to blame, and that includes pretty boy, ambulance-chaser, Edwards. Let Johnny boy address that issue first.
