Unfit for office, any office

As the Democrat campaign continues to unravel, the two Massachusetts senators have now made it clear through their actions that neither is fit for the office he holds, much less the office one seeks.

Kerry proffers his campaign promises, adding up to his message on Vietnam three decades ago. Of course he sees Iraq as a quagmire -- what other analogy would suggest his message of defeat and ignominy? He disrespects our allies, including the prime minister of Iraq, a man with imprimatur of Kerry's beloved, impotent United Nations. He questions the motives of our Allies, and underscores the threats of our implacable enemies.

Meanwhile, his colleague demonstrates once again that the wrong person paid the price at Chappaquiddick. As long as Ted Kennedy persisted as the buffoon of the family he now heads, his cowardly behavior 35 years ago seemed perfectly in context with the rest of his life. Now he extends his natural aversion to noble behavior at the expense of the safety of his own country. How else to describe his pusillanimous remarks about a "nuclear 9/11?"

Shame on both your houses. Or I should say, on all of your mansions.
