Been Busy

[womzilla]

Job interview on Monday for a six-week contract position for which I am pretty much perfectly qualified. Here's hoping.

That's not what inspired me to post. I found this on the sidebar of tnh's blog. It's John Kerry showing a backbone:

As they did with John McCain in South Carolina in 2000 and as they did with Senator Max Cleland, they have again questioned my commitment to the defense of our country. I'm not going to stand by and let the likes of Saxby Chambliss and the Republican Party question my commitment to keeping our nation strong--I've voted for some of the largest defense and intelligence budgets in our history.

I'd like to know what it is Republicans who didn't serve in Vietnam have against those of us who did. I'm tired of Republicans trying to divert attention from the real issues--here in Georgia you've lost 70.000 jobs, you've got 1.3 million Georgians without health insurance--and that's what this race should be about. These are the real issues they should be willing to talk about instead of engaging in the politics of fear and questioning our commitment to fighting for the country we fought for in uniform.

This was dated 21 Feb. Note that three days later, the chickenhawk-in-chief completely shut down all other political discourse in the US by coming out strongly in favor of the doomed pro-bigotry Constitutional amendment.

(Yes, doomed. Do you really think that 67 senators are going to vote in favor of it?)
