It is now 9:07 pm CST - my time - and I'm watching a repeat of Dave Chapelle and it reminded me to let ya'll know that in an hour (my time), John F. Kerry will be on the Daily Show tonight.

Ya'll watch and we'll discuss after the show is over. :D

Kerry says he is not most liberal, strange question lol
Doesn't understand flip-flop charge. Bush changes(flip-flop) his mind and isn't blasted with label but Kerry is?
Thinks it a diversion by republicans to make point of things that are not issues like Kerry (as kerry keeps saying but press doesn't say). That is what I heard at least.

ah...I couldn't understand Stewart when he asked.

Anyway, I hoped Kerry would speak with a similar rousing speech like Clinton. But I think he made his points known very well.

Yeah, Kerry isn't as charismatic as Clinton, but then again, not many are. I think anyone with those speaking skills is gonna go through life getting a lot of poontang. Probably a hard habit to break (I wish I knew...sigh :( )

I digress.

I really cannot understand why labels that conservatives place on people stick, but the reverse is not true. Bush is demonstrably a bigger flip-flopper than Kerry, and compunds it by being unreasonably, almost neurotically, stubborn on other topics. Kerry is criticized for his war record, which, no matter how you look at it, is better than Bush's. Kerry is called and uninspiring speaker, while Bush is an unintelligle speaker.

Kerry is simultaneously called the #1 liberal in the Senate, the least active member of the Senate, and a flip-flopper. These things, taken together, make absolutely no sense. They are, to an extent, mutually exclusive.

Sigh. Somehow, I just feel like America is one big High School, and the stupidest, least substantiated rumors seem to stick the longest. In the American High School, intellectuals (nerds) are ridiculed. In the American High School, the insecure loudmouths (bullies) shout down the voices of reason.
