Pathetic ... And Bound To Lose XLI: He's Making A List, And Checking It Twice!

Just how bad is John Kerry's political judgment? Well, with about two-thirds of Americans convinced that Donald Rumsfeld should remain as Secretary of Defense, Senator Kerry is running around with his silly list of replacements.

But Senator Kerry's bizarre lack of judgment and smarts doesn't stop there. Most on his list would not be appropriate in the best of times. Senator Kerry suggests the likes of Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich - who was one of the very few who actually voted against the Senate resolution authorizing the Iraq war after first trying to gut it with an amendment requiring further Security Council approval. That suggestion sure shows Senator Kerry's mettle. Or how about another Kerry pick - William Perry, who served as defense secretary under President Clinton while the whole al Qaida mess festered for years? Now there's an idea.

Is that what the candidate presumptive or his campaign staff think constitutes staying "on message" for the day?
