Is this an insane man or does he just play one on TV? “

I'm tempted to give up. I just cannot write as well as the Diplomad.

Here is the Diplomad snickering at John Kerry's attempt to not say something nice about an accomplishment—the election in Iraq— by a man who would make a better president than John Kerry; even if he was in a coma: Dubya.

[here is] your friend John “Christmas in Cambodia” Kerry! Listen to the leader speak:

I think it's gone as expected. <…> it is significant that there is a vote in Iraq. But no one in the United States or in the world-- and I'm confident of what the world response will be. No one in the United States should try to overhype this election. This election is a sort of demarcation point, and what really counts now is the effort to have a legitimate political reconciliation, and it's going to take a massive diplomatic effort and a much more significant outreach to the international community than this administration has been willing to engage in. Absent that, we will not be successful in Iraq.

And a few days prior to this prouncement he had announced,

Throughout Europe, as I met with European leaders, it's clear that they're prepared to do more, but the [Bush] administration has not put the structure together for people to be able to do it," he said.

Is this an insane man or does he just play one on TV? “Gone as expected?” “Overhype?” Uh, you mean like, uh, you did with your war record, Senator? “A massive diplomatic effort and a much more significant outreach to the international community than this administration has been willing to engage in?” What is he talking about? What does that mean? Negotiate with Al Zarqawi? Who are the mysterious European leaders he met who want to do more but are prevented from doing it by Bush? They must not belong to the EU which is now busy falling all over itself to kiss Bush’s behind and dump money on Iraq. Or Kofi? Is he afraid of Bush or what?
