Kerry: Damned if He Does, Damned if He Doesn't

Out of respect for Reagan's death, Kerry's campaign announced last week it was adopting a low profile. If he hadn't, the Republicans would have been all over him even though Bush 43 used the seven-day pageantry as one long campaign rush. And regardless, the media was so completely wrapped up in non-critical, sugar-coated rememberances of Reagan that they wouldn't have noticed Kerry anyway. For example, there was almost no attention that Kerry attended the funeral.

Today, the press is all over Kerry for taking a week off, saying he's lost valuable momentum, did a bone-headed thing, isn't serious... yadda yadda yadda. Of course, these same sources were not at all critical of how Bush 43 behaved.

I don't even like Kerry that much, but it doesn't take an ardent Democrat to notice a completely uneven playing field and totally one-way criticism.
