"F" is for "fundamentally
flawed." The profoundly silly reaction to John Kerry's use of the
F-word has done a quick fade, thanks to Al Gore's endorsement of
Howard Dean.
But Kerry's invoking one of George
W. Bush's favorite words shouldn't obscure the best quote he gave to
Rolling
Stone, in answer to a
question about Bush's trustworthiness before the congressional vote
on Iraq. Kerry said:
It seems to me that we had
a right to expect the president of the United States to live up to
his word. It was disgraceful, one of the most egregious,
fundamentally flawed moments of foreign policy that I can think of
in my lifetime.
Dean couldn't have put it any
better.
