p>There's good reason that John Kerry failed to credit the
original JFK for his "watchman on the wall" comments: his comments
weren't so much a plagiarization as they were a repudiation of
Kennedy's view of America?s role in world affairs. It is George W.
Bush, to the great disgust of the party of JFK, who has carried on
America?s role as the lone watchman on the wall of freedom. It is
George W. Bush who has stepped up to the plate -- in the Kennedy
tradition as well as the tradition of most American presidents of
the 20th Century -- to pay any price, bear any burden in the cause
of freedom. Kerry's remarks are shameful for their lack of resolve,
not for their lack of attribution.

On "No Class" -- plagiarizing is not the worst thing about Kerry's
theft of Kennedy's final speech. The more troubling aspect of what
Kerry did was how he twisted the original. The contrast is between
Kerry's "the UN must lead otherwise we won't man the tower"
worldview and Kennedy's "we are called by history to lead and to
mount the watch tower alone" world view. To paraphrase Senator
Bentsen, I remember John Kennedy and Kerry is no John Kennedy.
