Shitstorm  

A couple quick observations about the John Kerry rumors flying around the blogosphere today. Right now this is almost entirely an internet phenomenon, and in the worst possible ways. So far there's been one report, hardly from a reliable source, and already the Democratic base is scared silly. Relax! At the moment there's less evidence of this than there is of Bush going AWOL, and the timing makes one wonder if maybe they're related. The Democratic frontrunner is bound to have enemies, especially when the nomination is all but assured.

Incidentally, even if there's something to this story, it wouldn't be the end of the world. The primaries are really just getting started, so there's plenty of time to switch gears. And lately sex scandals seem to have a way of making the accusers look as bad as the accused... the American people aren't exactly innocent when it comes to sex and politics!
