He's Still An Ass, And I Don't Think He's Curable!

From Today's Meet The Press:
MR. RUSSERT: Do you believe that Iraq is less a terrorist threat to the United States now than it was two years ago?"
SEN. KERRY: "No, it's more. And, in fact, I believe the world is less safe today than it was two and a half years ago."
MR. RUSSERT: "Is the United States safer with the newly elected Iraqi government than we would have been with Saddam Hussein
SEN. KERRY: Sure."

Is Senator Kerry for real? I mean, he answers Russert's first question in the negative with a long winded (self serving?) comment about how "less safe" we are, then not two minutes later when Russert turns around and asks essentially the same question but preceeds it with the "newly elected government" as opposed to "Saddam Hussein" Kerry answers "Sure!" Kerry must be so in love with hearing himself pontificate that he didn't even realize he had been ASKED essentially the same question just a couple of minutes before. Or, maybe he did and this is an incidence of "I actually believe we were less safe before I believed we were more safe."

I think that Mr. Kerry's loss was a real gain for America.

And, if you don't believe me, ask George Soros as quoted in Bloomberg.com:

"Kerry did not, actually, offer a credible and coherent alternative," Soros, 74, said yesterday in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "That had a lot to do with Bush being re-elected."
