The Billiken's Bluff

Let me refresh your memory. It was the first debate, when John Kerry said in his closing statement:

"They can't have an election right now. The president's not getting the job done."



Now the esteemed senator has been on Meet the Press warning Americans and the world not to ""overhype this election," and that fact that millions of Iraqis risked their loves to create history by participating in democracy.

Apparently someone forgot to translate Mr. Kerry's message to the Iraqis dancing in the streets in time to stop the outpouring of emotion shown by both Iraqis and the American people who support them.

I shudder when I think about how close (admittedly not that close at all) we came to trading the visionary we have in the White House for that guy.
