John Kerry
I’m watching the Sunday talk shows (by grace of DVR) and it turns out that John Kerry is still a pessimistic asshole who hates his country. Say! It’s a great mystery how someone as hated as the Chimperor was said to be in 2004 still managed to beat this guy’s ass by a majority of the popular vote.
Someday, Democrats will learn that they can’t keep sending up variations of Adlai Stevenson for the White House.
Americans hate pessimists and love problem-solvers. Americans may like to wallow in their own economic pities —I know I do— but they don’t necessarily want to hear it in their leaders. Americans usually choose happy warriors: FDR, JFK, and Reagan and Bush the Younger. I think that’s what they’ll find John McCain and Sarah Palin to be in November.
