JOHN KERRY: HE'S BAAAACK!

"There are no second acts in American lives."-F. Scott Fitzgerald.

        How could the great novelist have been so wrong? He himself demonstrated that America is the country of self-reinvention, in which there's always another act--especially if you're a modern day liberal. Failure in the confessional, therapeutic age of Oprah is a uniquely good career move, as witness Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. If only there were just two acts! Here's John Kerry to remind us that he's not going away: "Would I like to be president? Yes, obviously." In the furor kicked off by Congressman Murtha, heeeere's Johnny: ``I won't stand for the swift-boating of Jack Murtha,'' said Sen. John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004."
        It's remarkable, the intensity of hatred aimed by liberals, not at the savage Islamo-fascists who want to kill us all, but instead at President Bush. Perhaps this is because they share, with our murderous enemies, a utopian vision of a perfect world. When such fantasies don't come to pass, like infants torn from the nipple, they rend the air with cries of distress. In the House debate on a motion to pull our troops out of Iraq, one member recounted a conversation with a U.S. Marine: "Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, the most junior member of the House, told of a phone call she received from a Marine colonel.
``He asked me to send Congress a message - stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message - that cowards cut and run, Marines never do,'' Schmidt said.

Democrats booed and shouted her down - causing the House to come to a standstill..." The truth, when introduced to delicate, feminized children, is painful---but it remains the truth.
