His Old Pompous Self

Once it was almost possible to feel sorry for John Kerry. Not anymore, in this live report from Kerry headquarters.

(Page 2 of 2)

Before returning to the Real Deal Express, Kerry even incorporated a few of the theatrical flourishes that make the populist soap operas that are John Edwards' stump speeches such tear-jerkers.

"Today, in a rare moment of truth-telling, they actually told us what they were doing," Kerry said, head bobbing, body swaying. "They said that shipping jobs, American jobs overseas, is good for America." Pause for effect.

Then: "Let them tell that to a 45-year-old worker with three kids who doesn't have a job, who's seeing the factory lost, who's seeing [his] job gone and [who] has nowhere to turn."

When John Kerry takes over the world, he'll make "them" knock that right off.
