John Kerry: Channeling Clinton

I used to give John Kerry the benefit of the doubt. It took me a long, long time to endorse Bush. But reading the transcript of Kerry's reaction to Iyad Allawi's remarks yesterday really proves the democrats aren't serious about winning the war on terror, they aren't serious about presenting a real alternative to George Bush, and their leader is an angry, stupid, bitter little man who presents no positive message, no real plan of his own, and thinks that shrill assertions are an adequate substitute for facts. I encourage you to read the whole thing, in particular this little gem:

Yesterday I read the report of a deputy director of the Provisional Coalition Authority. He's now returned to the United States. And his report was really pretty devastating. He wrote that we are losing the peace. He wrote that we are not getting the reconstruction aid out, that only 5 percent of the money has been spent. He wrote of the levels of unemployment and of the difficulties of people who are earning money throwing grenades at American soldiers.

Yeah. It's the economy, stupid. I saved a screenshot of the web page, for when the NYTimes "clarifies" Kerry's remarks. You know, because they were always so circumspect in cleaning up Bush's gaffes.

The screenshot is over at my blog, in a crossposted entry, because I don't want to burn up Greyhawk's bandwidth.

Who's Fred?
