Say Anything, by Andrew Sullivan

[fjc]

We've been treated to many disquisitions on the "new" John Kerry, the emboldened, clear, unpompous candidate who emerged from primary season with a real chance to beat an increasingly vulnerable George W. Bush. Sadly, that new candidate didn't show up Sunday night in Wisconsin for the Democrats' most recent (and possibly final) debate. The same old tedious, flip-flopping Kerry was in evidence. Here are three interactions with two of his questioners--Craig Gilbert of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and Lester Holt of MSNBC--and my interpolations....

1. Another smear by "The New Republican"!

Sully just wants a weak candidate so that his friend
Bushler can get another four years!

2. flip-flopping?, tedium?

wonder if Andrew watched the SOTU.

3. Here's what alot of these pundits FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE:

Kerry was a prosecutor who ran the prosecutor's office in Boston. He HAD to weigh all sides of a case to test the strengths and weaknesses BEFORE they decided to pursue a case and allocate the needed funds.

Not an easy job.

Kerry was also a champion debater at Yale. He learned to be able to argue both sides of every issue as a matter of debate art.

His contemplative, judicious style should be admired in a leader.

Instead, the dumbing down of America makes heros out of the simpletons and the soundbite whores.

4. Bingo!!! Sully is really a mediawhore, a Grade A one at that!

5. oh, nice cheap shot, pinning gore's 2000 "chameleon" behavior on kerry

watch randy andy and other assholes on the right start to mention kerry's choices in clothing as evidence of a tortured soul in search of a true identity.

what i do not understand about those weasels at tnr having such a lying little shit like sullivan access to a column with them is that he is proven liar who has made things up in the past just to attack political opponents.

on a personal level, i dont care if the man fucks men, women, or sheep as a hobby, but sullivan ought to be put in jail. this man bragged about how he cruised homosexual bars, met fellow male homosexuals via personal ads and had unprotected sex with those who did not know if he had aids.

his words are bad enough, but his personal behavior that has endangered his sexual partners is dispicable.
