if he has something to hide or not. Suddenly we all become heavy handed police officers when faced with this kind of thing. I'm a firm believer in the 4th amendment. I'll spare you my West Wing reference.

Kerry isn't corrupt. He IS a washington insider, which he can't help. In fact, he's PROUD IF IT. HE aspired to it. I don't think there has been a time in history when the american public has ever gushed over washington insiders. We like the maverick. Kerry's been a good public servant and a terrific defender of liberal ideals. And I say this despite taking issue with his positions of late.

As far as Bushlite, that's a regrettable term. I'm sorry anyone uses it. It's SO subjective. I mean, bushlite means something a little different to everyone. Yeah, I think granting the right's premise on IWR and the amendment to the budget meets my criteria for bushlite, but I would rather give you the longhand version of my argument than some stupid buzzword. Shame that politics gets dumbed down that way, but we as individuals can be above it.

Subtle attacks on integrity pervade every primary. And they happen with or without present hypocrisy.
