Here we have a man who would be president, one of the highest positions in our country, a leader, someone we look to for creating bridges with other nations, a man who is respected, and we hope a little feared. We don’t really need someone who says something like this:

I could have gone to 1600 Pennsylvania and killed the real bird with one stone.

Crass and tasteless. I hope the Secret Service pays Senator Kerry a little visit and reminds him that he shouldn’t make threats against the president (even in jest). And with the hostile climate in this country and the hatred for our president, men in positions of power should be setting the tone, not stooping to the level of Kos and Democratic Underground type humor. He isn’t really presidential, is he?
