Kerry's New Speechwriter?

Nick Denton's got a new gig if he wants it. This is brilliant and what I too was hoping to hear from Kerry last night.

How's this? "The president says I've changed my mind on Iraq. Well, yes. Blind certainty is fine for Soviet ideologues, and Islamic fanatics, but I am an American. I believe that pragmatism is the American genius. This country was built by individuals who found themselves on an unfamiliar continent, in a promised land that wasn't always what they'd been promised."

Unfortunately for Kerry, Nick's got a pretty good day job.

Too easy. Repugnanticans will twist that quote to imply that Kerry said that America is not the land of promise and hope. Nick should definitely stick to his day job.

I too thought Kerry didnt go for the jugular but, like Gothamgal, my wife thought that Kerry was being presidential instead of lowering himself into meaningless GOP-like character assasination.
