Kerry hands GOP a Halloween treat

More on Kerry, the Democrat not currently running for re-election.

The Republicans jumped on Kerry with savage glee. They're desperate — with the Foley sex scandal and America's disillusionment with the president's Iraq strategy and with wild congressional overspending — as the Republican leadership drives the conservative base away.
So Kerry's ridiculous elitism, burbling out of him as if he lives, as I suspect, entirely on a diet of lentils and club soda, is what the Republicans needed. It's a big chunk of wood floating just above Republican hands in deep water.
