Uh-oh! Meathead’s going to say something to annoy Archie!

The Kerry campaign has descended to the level of bad sitcom predictability, with tired catchphrases and hackneyed scripts. For any issue, the sequence of events follows the same pattern for Kerry: 1.) overwrought denunciation of policy coupled with 2.) a calculated nod to the other side of the argument (aka “flip-flop”) summed up with 3.) absolutely no plan or solution to stated issue.

According to today’s NY Times, Senator Splunge called up to accuse the White House of bungling the dangerous situation in North Korea. “A nuclear nightmare,” moans Kerry. Surely such a glaring error would have an equally obvious solution, right?

When Mr. Kerry was pressed about how he would handle the threat of a North Korean nuclear test if he was in the Oval Office, he declined to be prescriptive, other than to say…
Wait for it….

…that the issue would probably have to be taken to the United Nations Security Council.
[In the voice of Colonel Klink] “Kerry!”

"Hypothetical questions are not real," he said, arguing that North Korea was a case for preventive diplomacy, and that Mr. Bush's "ideologically driven" approach had kept him from truly engaging North Korea.
Heyyyyy, sit on it, hypothetical terrorists!”
