Hugh Hewitt has been playing clips from Kerry's speeches

They all sound like old recordings of FDR, but without the charisma. It's going to be a long 8 months. Maybe he speaks like this so that nobody will notice his outrageous blather, like "The Bush Adminsitration has run the most inept, reckless, arrogant, and ideological foreign policy in the modern history of our country." It begs the question why he voted to authorize it.

Oh, yeah. He thought it was just a bluff. That's the ticket!

Update: And Joshua Micah Marshall agreed with Kerry's statement. Is he hoping to be appointed Kerry's Press Secretary? I wouldn't set myself up like this unless there were big personal stakes, meaning more than just having my party win the election. I'd want patronage!
