INCREDIBLY BAD TASTE: For all of the gaffes John Kerry has made on the campaign trail the worst one yet was made last night - and he victimized a woman in doing so.

Mary Beth Cahill, who sounded as though she had been gargling with sandpaper, was the first Kerry aide that was required to defend Kerry's use of the daughter of Vice-President and Mrs. Cheney.

"She's been a part of the campaign, and so she is fair game," said Cahill.

My question is - how do you figure that?

When Dick Cheney gave his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention only one of his daughter's appeared with him on stage and it was not the one sited by John Kerry last night.

What's worse was not only the mere invoking of who it was but naming her name, referring to her sexual preference/inclination, and in some way trying to make himself seem sympathetic to folks watching all at the same time.

In other words, in the John Kerry's self-obsessed "John Kerryness" he can not see the forest for the trees. And this time the tree he is focused on his himself.

That's the problem with John Kerry - it is all about HIM. It's never about the people he's going to Washington to supposedly serve. If so he would have attended more votes in the Senate instead of missing 90% of them over the last two years.

Last night he allowed his obsession with his own selfish desire to win a point overshadow the appropriate boundaries of taste, compassion, and kindess.

Lynne Cheney has the right to call him a bad man. And woman across the nation have the right to see for themselves that he is willing to victimize THEM if it comes to padding his advantage, reputation, position, or standing.
