What an incredibly dispiriting moment. John Kerry today addressed the Council on Foreign Relations.
He pronounced a resounding and clear thought, that "blah, blah, blah," enter any homily you want. And as he did, he looked down at the speech that had been written by some hired writer. And he lost every ally he ever had in the CFR today.
Why? Because Kerry is so lame, so transparent, so shallow, that this blue-blood prick doesn't even think he has to memorize someone else's words in order to succeed, let alone come up with his own original ideas.
Churchill agonized over his important speeches. Dean is a spontaneous and native speaker. So was Lincoln, so was Teddy Roosevelt.
But tonight John Kerry drove the last nail in his own coffin as a candidate.
Any phony who can't take time to memorize his lines will lose to George Bush who at least is smart enough with his millions in the war chest to rent a teleprompter and look like less of an idiot on TV than he really is.
Kerry isn't even that smart.
And smarts wins elections.
Howard Dean is smart (and mean), George Bush is mean (and an idiot), John Kerry is sorta smart and sorta nice and sorta sherbet. He's melting before our very eyes. |
