After yesterday’s hatchet piece (see below), Scot Lehigh of the Globe piles on with today’s “The Two Minds of John Kerry”:
Last Tuesday, during the Democratic debate in Baltimore, Kerry was asked about his vote to authorize the use of force (or "to threaten the use of force," as Kerry has tried to characterize it) against Iraq. Replied the candidate: "If we hadn't voted the way we voted, we would not have been able to have a chance of going to the United Nations and stopping the president, in effect, who already had the votes and who was obviously asking serious questions about whether or not the Congress was going to be there to enforce the effort to create a threat."So says the largest newspaper in Senator Splunge’s home state.
To call that answer incoherent is to pay it a fulsome compliment. Kerry, a close friend of John McCain, must know that voters want someone authentic, direct, genuine. Can he honestly imagine he is within a country mile of meeting that standard?
With Lehane gone, there's now some talk that Kerry may install someone to supersede campaign manager Jim Jordan.
Given the candidate's recent performance, here's a better idea: The campaign should find someone to supersede John Kerry.
