Mutually Assured Deconstruction (Kerry says "confused people like me... can't make up our minds")
The New York Times ^ | 09/06/04 | DAVID M. HALBFINGER

"Everybody told me, 'God, if you're coming to Canonsburg, you've got to find time to go to Toy's, and he'll take care of you,'" Mr. Kerry said, dropping the name of a restaurant his motorcade had passed on the way in. "I understand it's my kind of place, because you don't have to - you know, when they give you the menu, I'm always struggling: Ah, what do you want?

"He just gives you what he's got, right?" Mr. Kerry added, continuing steadily off a gangplank of his own making: "And you don't have to worry, it's whatever he's cooked up that day. And I think that's the way it ought to work, for confused people like me who can't make up our minds."

He fails at trying to mimick the President's self-depreciation.

SPEAKING OF KERRY AND GUNS, he just shot himself in the foot again:

Is there anyone running this campaign? (Via BarcePundit).

Kerry puts foot in mouth for 897th time. You can set your watch by it.

Senator Kerry is continually portrayed as being more articulate and less prone to verbal gaffes than the President.

Another Kerry myth.

Right. He can't decide what he wants to eat and he expects to make decisions affecting the world. Gah!

When Bush make fun of his own faults, he was admitting to them. Since Kerry won't admit to waffling, I don't think he was making a joke.

Let's hope the RNC gets video of what he said--it would go great in a campaign commercial.

The author tries to cover his tracks by also reporting a Bush stumble. But it was clear that W's little mistake was nothing more than that, while Kerry's was revealing of the character flaw - indecisiveness - that is at the very heart of this campaign.

"Everybody told me, 'God,...

He's got everybody calling him God now?? I know he thinks he's great but that's a little over the top, even for him.

It's one thing for a President to make fun of himself for mispronouncing words. It's quite another matter for a presidential candidate to tell the American people, in the midst of a war, that he can't make decisions.
