Have you noticed that every time Kerry insists his position on the Iraq war hasn't changed, his chin gets longer?

Who do you like? I'm afraid that is what it's going to come down to. Steyn's latest column linked by LB suggested a fist-full of reasons why Kerry is so unlikable. Distilled to its essence, the Kerry failure to excite positive emotion is due to the following factors, presented in no particular order but in a tongue-in-cheek Letterman Top 10 spirit given The Candidate's appearance last night: 1.- He vacillates because he thinks he's entitled to as the thoughts that cross his mind are precious; 2.- He reminds voters of Ichabod Crane; 3.- By paying for his expensive tastes with a dead man's money, he's perceived as a poor substitute for even the most despised Kennedyesque trust fund babies, who at least come to their $ by an accident of birth. Plus, he pulled more or less the same stunt when he married his first wife; he's a serial offender in this unforgiving game in which only women are allowed to play unfettered by social restrictions. I can't think of a better way to put a man's masculinity in doubt; 4.- His wife, though probably an interesting woman in private, is a disaster among the electorate; 5.- He has been a Senatorial non-entity who believes his hair and his basso profundo delivery entitle him to elevation to a higher office despite the fact that the only reason he is a nominee is that Howard Dean imprudently exercised his vocal chords in Iowa; 6.- When he falls off a bike or a snowboard, it's not his fault; 7.- He doesn't eat at Wendy's; 8.- You won't catch him dead at a NASCAR race [or me, for that matter, but that is because I hate noise and crowds]; 9.- Doesn't look good in cowboy boots; 10.- What kind of moron denies that he owns a Suburban by trying to blame his own family for it? Jeez, JFK2, have you already forgotten that Tayrayzah bought the damn thing for you?
