Kerry's true personality shines through - "I don't fall down," he said. "That son-of-a-bitch ran into me." Or "knocked me over," depending on which version you read. Spoken like a true 7-year-old. Any parent will recognize the template: Little boy falls down, then jumps to his feet and declares for the benefit of anyone who will indulge his fractured ego: "I meant to do that." Sometimes the little tyke will run over to his mother if she's nearby and hit her for good measure. Smart mommies understand that the lad can't bear the humiliation and has to blame his one true love, the one who is supposed to protect him from both mortal and psychic pain. Similarly, the presumptive Democratic nominee verbally backhanded the Secret Service fellow, who was supposed to protect the senator, not deck him in the snow. When little boys blame their mothers, it is an altogether adorable and forgivable moment. Grown-ups appreciative of the sweet fragility of little boys let the moment pass. The same symbolic gesture by a 60-year-old presidential contender--who by now ought to have worked out such narcissistic kinks--is altogether unadorable."
