I understand that to a point. However, when he did ask the question about the F-bomb, he allowed Kerry to equate his behavior with President Bush.

As to being nice to guests to get them to appear - we are talking about people who would show up wherever a camera or microphone appears. That they are running against Dean means they will appear anywhere, anytime and in any way. Can't allow that opportunity like that to slip through one's fingers as I think Sean did.

Yup, being nice and being a door mat are to very different things. He let Kerry peddle his talking points and untruths. Sean's fecklessness suggest to people that Kerry is teelling the truth and that he has a leg to stand on--which Kerry objectively doesn't. Shameful display of incompetence on Sean's part.
