Once Again, Kerry Turns His Swift Boat Into The Gunfire

If you can get past the Republican self-congratulatory onanism in this Wall Street Journal story (and since when has their editorial-page mouthfrothing bled into their journalism? But I digress), you'll see that Kerry has made the crucial choice for his campaign between now and Judgment Day -- making the Iraq War the central focus of his argument Why We Need To Get Rid Of Bush.

Considerably more wetted-fingers-to-the-wind to get to this point than I would have liked, but hey, we're finally here.

Jimmy Carter got elected in 1976 by telling Americans he'd never lie to us. We've just been through, like, five Watergates, only without a single indictment, let alone a conviction or a resignation. Hell, even a firing.

It's Bobby and LBJ all over again, folks. (Only minus the Sirhan2, this time.) Kerry pounds Bush on this nonstop between now and November 2nd, and the distinct odor of lightly burned bread will commence to be smelled around the old Crawford soundstage (er, "ranch").
