Last week, all we heard was that Kerry was having a bad week. What happened? He went on vacation, fell or was knocked down and possibly insulted a Secret Service agent, and Bush started airing hateful and misleading ads. Okay, let's look at Bush's bad week: Sunday night, Richard Clarke unleashes a torrent of damaging information and revelations on 60 Minutes, and touches off a controversy that wages all week. Dem's have a Unity Dinner and come out swinging. Kerry raises $10 million online in 10 days -- the largest amount raised by a Democratic campaign in the history of the party. The 9-11 hearings continue, with damaging revelations continuing to make headlines all week. Clarke apologizes for the 9-11 missteps, being the first person even associated with this administration to even acknowledge anything resembling responsibility. Condi refuses to testify, but goes all over the place giving interviews and ends up looking like a freaked out liar and schemer. The Bush administration looks like a collective bunch of vindictive idiots for over-reaching in their efforts to discredit Clarke. Bush jokes about WMDs about media whores dinner and incurs the wrath of the families of dead soliders. Oh, and of course March is shaping up to be the deadliest month in this war, with close to 30 soldier dying as the death toll climbs toward 600.
I'm sure no media whore will present it like that, but maybe we should keep this in mind the next time Kerry has a "bad week" and they predict doom.
