Go read the entire column… because a) catharsis is good for you, and b) it serves as an excellent reminder of what this election is about.

So, let’s see: Bona-fide war hero turned incredibly articulate, educated, gifted Vietnam War protester and respected senator on one side, alcoholic AWOL failed-businessman born-again pampered daddy’s boy evangelical Christian on the other. Is this really the contest? Bush slugs gin and tonics like Evian while Kerry is accused of … what again? Not being incredibly heroic enough? Wow.

(Thanks to Kerry.)
