It seems as though John Kerry sure isn't taking the high road any more when attacked by the Republicans. In a NY Times story just posted in the last half hour, Kerry has some choice words for Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh and the rest.
If he'd talked like this two years ago, who knows what would have happened.
This is, of course, just another instance of the Dems not allowing themselves to be "Swift Boated" any more. Patty Wetterling's campaign of accusing Michele Bachmann of being for tax increases is my personal highlight so far, although Amy Klobuchar's immediate response to Mark Kennedy's clumsy assertions about her health care policy is a close second. It looks like both sides can play with Karl Rove's playbook.
As my father once said to me, "It doesn't do you any good to quote the Marquis de Queensbury rules to someone who is kicking you in the groin." Looks like the Dems are finally getting that message.
