Reply #31: I saw Bruce Morton's Chimp-of-the-People piece also

and also fired off a "feedback."

Just yesterday, Morton did a bit about how the candidates exercise, including this:

He talked a few years ago about a fondness for extreme sports. His wife sees it this way.

THERESA HEINZ KERRY, WIFE OF JOHN KERRY: I think he likes to do things that give him liberty, freedom of the air, you know, the water and the snow, flying. He likes all of that.

MORTON: Kerry disagrees, sort of.

KERRY: I don't like to do things where you can lose control or you lose control or what -- I disagree with people who make that assessment. When I'm flying an airplane, I'm very careful, I'm very confident. I feel very confident about the procedures, about the checks I've done, about what I'm doing. Likewise, when I'm on the water, I'm very confident about what I'm doing. I know what -- I am careful and so forth. You don't find me jumping out of airplanes.

MORTON: But we all, of course, remember a president who did, and he seemed confident too.

It made it seem as though Kerry were disagreeing with Teresa ("sort of," since everything he does is ambiguously wishy-washy as they keep emphasizing), but the clips were from two different interviews. Teresa wasn't saying, in her clip, that he likes feeling loss of control. I thought it was all very tricky. And then, of course, they ended with a shot of Poppy skydiving.
