Fall Guy

There's an old saying that says "if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for everything". John Kerry seems to have taken an opposite approach that says "if you stand for everything, sooner or later you might be right!" With multiple flip-flops and enough course changes to make a veteran sailor seasick, Kerry seems to hope that the press will somehow quote the one occasion in which he might have actually said the right thing.

Kerry is this year's Democratic Fall guy...the guy the Dems have nominated to take the fall against Bush and the guy who's going to have a really bad Fall until he can quit campaigning on Nov. 3. Peggy Noonan described him as a "sad tree", and my own wife said that when he talks, he looks like one of those pictures in which the lips have been cut out and someone behind the photo is mouthing his words.

Let's face it - Kerry got the nomination because Howard Dean made him look normal. What a candidate....
