Why isn't Kerry (the one person who can upset Monkeyboy Sheriff in his bid for the dreaded re-election) saying the kind of things we say in these pages? It is so frustrating that someone hasn't taken the initiative begun by Howard Dean and called spades spades and liars liars. The biggest disappointment of the Fahrenheit 9/11 film was that it didn't slam W hard enough and the revelations of the total lackluster performance of the Dems to counter the Bush junta. No one stood up. Isn't there anyone in this choir of disaffected that can segue some of our righteous ire to the Kerry camp? No wonder his numbers aren't going up--as they should, as the truly impeachable actions of the Bushies pile higher--Kerry isn't calling him out on them! I'm waiting.
