"John Kerry is too strange to be president. I don't mean 'strange' in the way of his predecessor, Al Gore, the first Android-American to run for president.... [W]ith Kerry, even before any gaffes or scandals, the official narrative makes no sense. He's publicly opposed to the Vietnam War. But he volunteers for it. Then he comes back disgusted with his experience in war, publicly hurls
his medals away (or someone else's: that story keeps changing), denounces his fellow veterans as war criminals, torturers and rapists, and claims that he personally committed atrocities. But then he decides to run for president and suddenly Jane Fonda morphs into John Wayne and all those war criminals are war heroes he wants at every rally and he's got his medals back and his disgust at his wartime experience has mysteriously turned into
pride in his wartime experience to the exclusion of all else. If Steven Spielberg...got a script like that, [he]'d send it to rewrite. Either that or [he]'d figure [he]'d got an early, rejected draft of the new Manchurian Candidate. That's what people mean when they talk about how 'complex' and 'nuanced' Kerry is. They don't mean his positions on the great questions of the day are complex and nuanced. Quite the contrary. ... If Kerry had exhibited the slightest trace of any interestingly complex view
of any policy matter, you can be sure we'd have heard about it. But he hasn't. So the only 'complex' aspect of the Kerry campaign is the man himself, who's complex in ways that don't seem entirely healthy."
