I think MO Dowd has a crush on Kerry....

Today's piece whacked dumb ass Dubya pretty hard and made JK look brilliant...

<snip>
When I gave George W. Bush a culture quiz in 2000, he gamely struggled to come up with one answer in each category, calling baseball his favorite "cultural experience."

Mr. Kerry, on the other hand, struggled to stop coming up with a cascade of things in each category, rarely settling on a definite favorite.

In what may be an interesting harbinger for their debates, W. raced through his whole interview in the same time Mr. Kerry took to answer the first question about his favorite movie. After he had roamed through 37 movies, ranging from his "Fellini stage" to his Adam Sandler period, from "National Velvet" to "The Deer Hunter" to "Men in Black," Mr. Kerry's aides began to hover.

The Republicans would denounce it as film flip-flopping, no doubt. But in culture, as in policy, the senator and the president proved very different creatures — the complicated versus the concrete, the "insatiable," as Teresa Heinz Kerry calls her husband's interests, versus the incurious.

Mr. Kerry is not a simple brush-clearing, ESPN-watching fellow. Just as he has an almost comically vast palette of aggressive masculine sports and hobbies, with costumes and gear, he has a vast palette of cultural preferences.

5. I think Kerry is one of the gray people as I am. Bush is black and white.

I would hate to be a child of Bush but like to be of Kerry. No one is all good or all bad. I like lots of movies as to my mood that day. Some days the Man with One Red Shoe is my best movie, and some days it is War and Peace. I love my father but I know he did things wrong and always tried to do better, I hated other man because he just re did every thing wrong when he said he would try to do better. Every thing is in degrees and Kerry is that type man. I under stand what Kerry did about Vietnam and it does not seem wrong to me. By the way my father was a Rep and believed as I do and most of his family did and were in that party. I am not sure where this good vs evil and black and white stuff came from. The world is just not like that.

12. Bush is developmentally arrested at the age of ten:

baseball
video games
dressing up in big boy uniforms
his "pull my finger" sense of humor

Fetal alcohol syndrome? Babs does love her cocktails.
