This Time article on Kerry points out that he's damaging his own campaign with the stupid crap coming out of his mouth. The Republican attack machine isn't having to work very hard these days.

Especially with stuff like this:

Asked on Earth Day whether he owns a gas-gobbling SUV, the champion of higher fuel-efficiency standards first said no, then admitted under questioning that, yes, that was a Suburban parked at his Sun Valley, Idaho, vacation house. Next, he distanced himself from his own driveway: "The family has it. I don't have it." It was a far different story, however, when Kerry visited car-loving Detroit last February. Back then, he exulted to local reporters about how much horsepower he commands: "We have some SUVs. We have a Jeep. We have a couple of Chrysler minivans. We have a PT Cruiser up in Boston. I have an old Dodge 600 ... We also have a Chevy, a big Suburban."

Says a former aide, sighing: "He wants everybody to love him."

That's pretty much it, isn't it? Meet the new Clinton, watered down for good measure.

It's strange that the front-runner so very long ago, Howard Dean, got in the same kind of trouble for saying stupid crap...but hell, you have to at least admire Dean a little for actually believing what he was saying.

Kerry just comes across as a completely unprincipled opportunist.

Hell, when this is your battle cry, you know you've got serious problems.
