Senator Windbag

From his speech to the National Guard Association, we see the clear and concise John Kerry...

"Two days ago, the president stood right here where I'm standing and didn't acknowledge that more than 1,000 men and women have lost their lives in Iraq. He didn't tell you that with each passing day, we're seeing more chaos, more violence, indiscriminate killings."

...And the What-The-FUCK-Is-He-Trying-To-Say John Kerry.

"I believe you deserve a president who isn't going to gild that truth or gild our national security with politics, who is not going to ignore his own intelligence, who isn't going to live in a different world of spin, who will give the American people the truth, not a fantasy world of spin but a world where we challenge our brave men and women to be able to meet the test of our times."

We need to see more of the former.

The reason why I posted this is because of the treatment Bush got in the linked article, which I thought was far more favorable. Sometimes this is the fault of bias in the media, but other times is simply a matter of Bush having shorter, snappier lines. If Kerry is going to ramble on and repeat himself in the same sentence, it won't reflect well in the press.
