Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry came to New York yesterday, for a last wooing session before the Republican National Convention next week. One his agenda: Hanging out with little kids at the Statue of Liberty, damning President Bush's 'fear and smear' tactics, yucking it up with Jon Stewart. The Daily Show bit was amusing, but John Stewart did not ask the hardest question of all: Will Kerry accept a role in the Wayans brothers' remake of The Munsters? The NY Times reports that during his speech at Cooper Union, Kerry reminded New Yorkers "predicted that the convention would 'focus on slogans, excuses and attack politics,' and said, 'You can't make up for four years in a few days of a convention and a few weeks of campaigning.'"
Gothamist noticed that Senator Kerry really loves to speak at places with statuary of Important Americans: He stood in front of an Abe Lincoln bust at Cooper Union, and later he was alongside Ben Franklin in Philadelphia yesterday. If his handlers are saying Kerry's got the immovable stone looks of an inanimate object, it's working!

The Daily Show was funny, but unfortunately I liked the jokes that were said Prior to John Kerry's Appearance. Methinks Jon Stewart is tired of the S.B.F.T. people...
"You can't make for four years in a few days of a convention and a few weeks of campaigning." Hmmm...I guess Kerry forgot that he tried to do the exact same thing except he had to make up for twentysome-odd years.
John Kerry has spent twentysome-odd years of sending our country into poorly-planned and ill-advised wars, ruining the economy, and dismantling civil liberties? I missed that.
Well, In this day and Age of "Voters-only-listen-to-sound-bites", unless he makes himself more presentable, he's a goner...
Shame on the people behind the Swift Boat attacks. When they make it seem like it was so easy for Kerry to lie about his injuries to get a purple heart, they dishonor the memory and service of all who received one of our nation's highest military awards. After all, if it was so easy for Kerry, what does that say about all the other people who were injured. This attack shows that Republicans don't honor military service and certainly don't have a monopoly on patriotism.
I heard a lot of Pollyanna rhetoric at the Democratic Convention. And in some of the speeches there was either the feeling that the speaker's mind was wandering in a sunlit meadow filled with wildflowers with the sound of a rushing stream nearby or their feet were in some medieval torture device and that's why they were yelling and the veins were sticking out of their foreheads.
