Some interesting bits in there:

Their content, sometimes telling, sometimes mundane, offers no insight at all into Mr. Kerry himself...

<snip>

...Rosenbaum said this film’s target is not Mr. Kerry but the Democrats’ campaign machine more generally, one that, as he sees it, has played too much defense.

<snip>

Senator Joe Biden offers a little harangue on that point about halfway through the film:

“Who gives a shit whether you think or anybody thinks they’re going to stick to a message,” he tells a reporter. “The story is what’s coming out of (Mr. Kerry’s) mouth. Not whether Joe Lockhart got trumped by me or anyone else to change the message.”


And I love this one:

Mr. Kerry’s spokesman, David Wade, e-mailed this response to Inside the Bubble (which he said he had not yet seen): “Beyond our immediate families I don’t know who will watch recycled footage of our sleep-deprived existence, but you can sympathize with a film producer struggling to peddle a white elephant. Now if only they had inside access to Michael Brown’s team at FEMA, then you’d have a blockbuster.”


For an after-the-fact little campaign documentary, Rosenbaum's getting maximum mileage from trying to stir up controversy.
