Listened to John Kerry's response to President Bush's announcement concerning intelligence reforms. As usual, Kerry's substance was non-existent. You could easily ask for specifics after every sentence he uttered. He offered none. Kerry's utterances always amount to the most childish "I woulda done better" carping one can imagine - like a Trivial Pursuit player who says, "I knew that" after every other player's question. Kerry claimed over and over that he would have moved faster - based on what, I'd like to know. The 9/11 Commission just issued their report. And that voice...uggg...that imperious, affected tone. Difficult to listen to. And he disingenuously brought up Rumsfeld's leaked memo from last October claiming it bolstered his argument that the Administration doesn't know what it's doing, when in fact that memo shows exactly the opposite - that the Administration, or at least parts of it, is staying on the balls of its feet with regard to this new War - not that Kerry really believes we're at war right now anyway.
The more I see Kerry, the more sure I am that the electorate is sure to see him for the empty suit he is, but then again, I thought Al Gore destroyed George Bush in all the debates, and we know how that turned out.
