Dark Bilious Vapors

Friday John Kerry (or someone writing under that name) made an appearance on Daily Kos. The other interesting point that struck me looking into this is that the alleged John Kerry dKos diary appears to have very little content actually authored by "John Kerry" (for all I know that may be normal for a dKos diary; while I read the dKos main page occasionally (depending on the press of other business), other business has been very pressing recently, so dKos has tended to slip off the daily blogaround...).

Whether this was written by the Senator or not, I do agree with the author's sentiments in his piece from Friday:

There's something that doesn't sit right with me when, on the day Osama Bin Laden resurfaced in a disturbing audio tape, cable television ends up in a game of name calling as a war protester is compared to Osama Bin Laden.

That's reason to be outraged - but even more outrageous is the fact that in a flurry of sound bites what was lost was a real discussion of the fact that more than four years after the devastating attacks of 9/11, more than four years after George Bush boasted we wanted Osama "dead or alive," more than a year after Osama Bin Laden showed his hateful face in yet another video, this barbarian is still very much alive and boasting of additional attacks against the United States.

Here's what I'd like to see debated on Hardball.

President Bush's mouthpiece Scott McClellan can claim this administration puts terrorists out of business, but yesterday's tape reminds us that instead of being out of business, Osama is still out there.
