I think you meant to quote G^3.
I thought you were referring to Kerry's campaigning, and I was pointing out that he's running for President.

If you're bored in the Senate and you're not much of a Senator, it keeps you off the streets.

But about the faux outrage over Kerry's comments yesterday, it's clear that the Rove playbook now includes drumming up controversy about a purported gaffe in the final days of a campaign. He did it in '04 with Kerry's comments about Mary Cheney in the last debate, and he's done it again. Rove is a big believer in the appearance of momentum at the end -- witness his flying Bush to California instead of Florida in the last days in '00 -- and this is a way to try to put the other side on the defensive.

But I'm glad to have him focusing everyone on Iraq.
