Kerry's Slip Up

By Anonymous -
While at is Ranch in California preparing for his weekly radio address, Ronald Reagan made a joke about launching a nuclear attack against the Soviet Union when testing his microphone. On a radio call in show, Bill Clinton let a profanity out when he thought he was off the air. While at a campaign event, George Bush's microphone picked up him calling a New York Times reporter a profanity. It seems that politicians never remember the power of what Strom Thurmond called "The Machine" to pick up their words.

Did anybody see Fox News today only hours before the debate? After speaking with reporters Sen. John Kerry was apparently upset at the amount of attention Gov. Dean is getting - even in the forms of questions at his press conference. Kerry is seen leaving the scene and mutters "Dean, Dean, Dean," under his breath. A mic, still pinned to his clothes, picks it up loud and clear. Check out the clip for yourself. Mic check, Mr. Kerry. Mic check.

Am I missing something here?

Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
