The Art of Politics

I Think He Doth Project Too Much...

Remember, you can't spell 'assassinate' without an 'ass' or two...

John Kerry defended Richard Clarke in prepared remarks, calling White House attempts to discredit him 'character assassination'. Now I'm not sure if anyone has listened to the standard stump grind that Kerry uses, but it's far harsher toward the President than any released White House remarks made about Richard Clarke.

I'm not sure what the White House was expected to do. Surely they weren't supposed to let Richard Clarke testify that they didn't take the threat of terror seriously, were they? While I've read some real lowbrow shivs (see the Race Card, below) regarding Clarke, stating that he is now saying something different than he did before - whatsmore with a clear political and financial interest - isn't character assassination, it's the naked truth...

Kerry should be more careful with the assassination talk...
