Reply #27: What the story is REALLY saying

[gratuitous]

Is that the Republicans are using the exact same tactics against Kerry that they used against Gore, and the media aren't any better at reporting than they were four years ago.

It's the same old smear and slime designed to appeal to the attention span challenged, and the catering of the media to that demographic. A smidgen of hope in the story would say that the media aren't playing the game this time around, but no, there they are, laying down and whoring for all they're worth (about $0.02) in service to their GOP masters.

Unfortunately, this time around we have the Horrid Example of 2000 to educate us, and Kerry's not waiting around for the non-existent better angels of the media to do their jobs. And neither are we.

Get used to hearing the phrase "one term loser" Dim Son. It'll be as good a legacy as you can hope for.
