Hotline believes Kerry was referring to Bush because he's used a similar formulation before.

Do Republicans really believe that Kerry wasn't talking about Pres. Bush? (We believe that Kerry was referring to Bush because he's used a similar formulation in our presence before and quite clearly meant to call Bush a dummy.)

Aren't Republicans being a bit intellectually dishonest by taking Kerry out of context?

How many news cycles will this cost the Democrats?

Do independents associate Kerry with “strength?”

Will bloggers -- smart and pragmatic -- come to Kerry's defense?

Will the media treat Kerry fairly enough to report on his comments fairly?

1. Your post is quite ironic

"Aren't Republicans being a bit intellectually dishonest by taking Kerry out of context?"

Republicans are evil, stupid, lying, filth. On their best days they're way worse than "a bit intellectually dishonest"

2. Understatement, of course, but a welcome defense of John Kerry from an unlikely source.
