Q: the american spectator http//snipurl.com/9h01 . .ninety minutes was far too long a format in any case. i kept looking at my watch. fortunately the president did not despite the tediousness of the event which had both men repeating their points over the over. for claritys sake there was a certain benefit to allowing both figures have their say. we now know for certain that kerry loves the u.n. above all else that he has big plans on how to win a war we shouldnt even be fighting that his vietnam experience defending his country qualifies him to serve as commander in chief how long before the swift vets reply to that and that he will rally mysterious allies none of whom he was prepared to name. even after bush gave kerry a chance to mention poland as one of our sidekicks kerry simply could not bring himself to utter the name of that lowly land of peasants. teresa after all was in the audience. some political genius. does he not know that there are still polish-american voters to appeal to doesnt he know what they think of snoots better still kerry bailed out bush by citing australia as an administration ally in iraq a country inexplicably overlooked by the president when he singled out tony blair and aleksander kwasniewski. as smooth and presidential and impeccably french and cosmopolitan as kerry was bush mopped the floor with him late in the evening. asked about russias vladimir putin bush at his folksy best talked about his relation with vladimir extending his comments in such as way to drive home the point that he gets on real fine with this allied foreign leader. kerry could describe nothing comparable. instead the only claim to russia expertise he could offer was a trip he took there after the fall of communism. whereupon he produced the verbal gaffe of the evening referring to the kgb headquarters as being located on treblinka square. what kind of empty suit would mistake the nazi death camp for the lubyanka. this is a little more serious than the lambeau-lambert field fumble. instant replay revealed that at least kerry managed to quote george will intelligently -- did president bush cite a single conservative authority not to worry kerry jumped at the chance to declare nuclear proliferation the most serious threat to our national security. he repeated the term in succession like a prize pupil happy to impress his class by showing only he knew the trick answer. in a gary hart-like way he connected the problem to his own doomsday pronouncements on the subject six seven years ago. apparently he wrote a book called the new war which for some reason has received next to no attention this election year perhaps because it reveals kerry to be wishy-washy in conceding we live in a dangerous world. according to the new york times in early july the bush campaign attacked the book for failing to name osama bin laden and al qaeda. further insights were offered in a free republic analysis and discussion which among other things noted that kerry wouldnt be eager to have defend such phrasings as yasser arafats transformation from outlaw to statesman.... . . .
