What is the sound of one hand repeatedly smacking my forehead?
John Kerry was interviewed on Meet the Press this morning. Let the cringing begin. For example, on the Swift Boat Veterans' claim that Kerry lied about being in Cambodia on Christmas 1968:
"We were right on the border, Tim. What I explained to people and I told this any number of times, did I go into Cambodia on a mission? Yes, I did go into Cambodia on a mission. Was it on that night? No, it was not on that night. But we were right on the Cambodian border that night."
It goes on like this for nearly an hour on topics ranging from social security reform to choice. Hem, haw, prevaricate, insert caveats and asides into the middle of 500-word sentences ... listening to Kerry talk about policy is like reading 19th century German philosophy underwater. Unfortunately, Kerry is only one of many Democrats with this difficulty. He just happens to be the one we picked to run against The Man with the Unflinching Message Discipline.
