Kerry responded perfectly. Perhaps not in a way that the DC wise men would approve, those Gang of 500 fools who have enabled this administration's disasters at home and abroad.

Perhaps not in a way that will appease the 101st Fighting Keyboardists and their acolytes who would rather talk tough than actually show genuine courage by enlisting in the armed forces.

And sure, not in a way that will appease Republicans hoping to find anything to desperately detract from their crappy policies, crappy candidates, and lie- and hate-filled campaigns.

Yeah, those people won't be happy with Kerry's response.

But in this case, Kerry responded the right way. Not by bowing to the full blast of the right wing noise machine, but by standing up to it on behalf of our troops, our nation, and the truth.

...that my brain just officially exploded, and you'll find pieces of it all up and down the East Coast.

3. It will be mixed with mine

The crap that is being spewed on th JK blog is sickening, and when those that say they are Democrats and trashing Kerry it is even sicker, nothing but a bunch of primary whiners.

2. Yeah, I couldn't believe my eyes - Kos agreeing with JK!

But the comments are pretty vile. Lots of people saying that it takes the attention away from attacking Bush which is needed to win the election. That, of course, is not true. Kerry got the attention of the whole MSM to listen to him criticizing BushCo! How cool is that! The story and the press conference video even made the Yahoo News and still is there on the Yahoo front page since a while now.

4. Loved this bit at the end

of Kos's post:

If Republicans want to debate who supports the troops more, let's have that debate. I'd love to talk about nothing else than Iraq for the next week.

And for the rest of you who think this is the end of the world -- stop being afraid of your own shadow. Just stop it. Fight or get out of the kitchen. It will get hotter than even this.

Perfect.
