KERRY AIDE POINTS TO MEDIA, KERRY'S SHORTCOMING

"George W. Bush ran the most negative presidential campaign in history, and the media never covered the story, an aide to Sen. John Kerry's campaign said last Monday at the journalism department. He said the Massachusetts senator has more integrity and intelligence than almost anyone else he knows. He added, however, that unlike Bill Clinton, Kerry's intellect is stronger than his political ear. "Excuse my language, but you've literally got to beat the shit out of John Kerry sometimes to get him where you want him to go," he said.-from the article today, "Kerry aide pans nasty Bush run," in NYU's Daily Student Newspaper. Update: Howard Dean's first blogmaster, Mathew Gross, posted this strategy piece, "The Politics of Victimization" after the election but it's still making the cyber-rounds. Free sample: "And watch the Democratic Party leadership walk on eggshells, try to meet him, please him, wash the windows better, get out that spot, distance themselves from gays and civil rights. See them cry for the attention and affection and approval of the President and his followers. Watch us squirm. Watch us descend into a world of crazy-making, where logic does not work and the other."
