Great moments in Republican <$NoAd$>outreach …

However, there are some things that did strike me about this odd man.
John Kerry once administered CPR to a hamster. This was one of the poignant vignettes we learned tonight from one of his daughters. Is there some gerbil-loving swing demographic out there we are trying to connect with? His daughter told this story as if we could all relate to this “human” moment of mouth-to-mouth contact with a rodent. I think I can speak for most parents, that while we might lay down our lives for our children; we see no need to swap spit with vermin.

John Kerry may have been able to breath life into a hamster; and he may have been able to breath some hope (or is it help?) into the gerbil-loving delegates; but he’s still a strange, Herman Munster-like figure to me.
No mention of the inveterate Bush hatred among the gerbil-lovers. But presumably that’s for another column.
